Paul Mark Morris explains a major shift away from SaaS as agentic AI becomes accessible to non-programmers, citing his own use of OpenClaw to run task-completing AI agents and the implication that tools like CRMs can be built quickly without traditional development teams. He connects this disruption to falling SaaS valuations, highlighting Salesforce’s drop from $337B to $179B by March 2026 despite rising revenue, and argues markets are pricing in a broken seat-based SaaS model. Morris describes a rotation toward hard assets, prompted by a conversation with nine-figure entrepreneur Mike Lazarow (who sold a company to Salesforce for $785M), and outlines three real estate plays: data centers (via REITs like Equinix and Digital Realty), multifamily amid shrinking supply and a 2026 debt-maturity-driven distress window, and secondary-market residential growth driven by AI-enabled migration.
