My first multifamily deal—a 24-unit property—happened while I was still a college senior, using creative financing and more hustle than cash.
I tried the “safe” path after, working as an accountant, but quickly realized I didn’t want to spend my life building someone else’s dream. Sixteen months in, I handed in my resignation.
Have you ever taken a leap others called “risky”? What pushed you to bet on yourself?
Make the 1-Star Rating Work for Your Community!Say what? I thought we avoided 1-star ratings like a prospect with a 300 credit score!While I would never suggest soliciting a low rating, your response to a poor review can truly separate you from your competitors. In fact, a 1-star review is often a stage for you to showcase your leadership. The way you respond proves that you are real, that you take ownership, and that there is a human being ...
There's a budgeting decision happening at apartment communities across the country right now, and most of them are getting it wrong.Marketing dollars flow toward acquisition. ILS listings, paid search, lead generation campaigns—anything to fill vacancies. Makes sense on the surface. Empty units don't pay rent. Right?But here's the uncomfortable truth: while you're pouring resources into attracting new residents, your existing ones are quietly dec ...
The affordable rental housing market provides homes for millions of families. Unfortunately, smaller property management companies (PMC) in the sector often face unique challenges in maintaining their properties efficiently. Unlike large property companies, they often lack the resources to deploy extensive maintenance teams or invest in costly technologies to improve their efficiency. However, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is leveling ...
But here’s what actually hides behind the door 🚪
A door fee is a per-unit payment a provider offers to serve a multifamily property. On paper, it looks simple. In reality, it’s one of the most misunderstood provisions in telecom contracts.

The new executive order targets institutional buyers of existing single-family homes but carves out a key exemption for the build-to-rent (BTR) sector. These developers construct entire rental communities from the ground up, often in suburban areas where land is more available. That carve-out could accelerate Wall Street's shift toward BTR, which had already been gaining traction due to management efficiencies and rising demand for suburban renta ...
In a market where floor plans blur together, concessions escalate, and operators are fighting for attention in increasingly crowded conditions, true differentiation is hard to come by.TMG has taken a different path—one rooted not in short-term discounts, but in values. Their approach to pet inclusivity goes far beyond "pet-friendly" language, and the results speak for themselves.I sat down with Jamin Harkness from The Management Group in At ...
Generative AI has democratized access to public real estate data, making large-scale scraping and analysis trivial for anyone with basic technical capabilities.
This shift poses an existential threat to traditional data aggregators like CoStar, Green Street, and Moody's, whose competitive moat has...

That said, there's a lot of different ways to package data, and there are still some categories, like residential rents, where the data points are so challenging that scraping is not an effective tool.
I think there will be a winnowing of data vendors and only those who have genuinely hard-to-capture data will survive. Lots of room for competing packaging of that data, though, and marketplaces that are uniquely structured for the specific needs of their communities, once built, have lots of staying power - particularly in the professional world. I'm guessing Zillow will have some trouble from Google, but Crexi will fare better.
Agree! Specifically - the real estate domain in not one of the first technology adaptors, so new products are not easy to adopt.
I've spoken with so many people feeling traumatized right now. The constant negative news, economic pressure, and daily stress are real and heavy. Many desperately need help.
Multi-unit residential buildings hold a quiet solution: 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮.

Email inboxes are crowded.Portals go unchecked.Voicemails get missed.But texts? They get read.When used intentionally, texting becomes one of the most effective ways to keep residents informed, reduce confusion, and build trust. The key is knowing what to send—and how to send it—without overwhelming residents or sounding robotic.Here are five messages every property should send by text, and why they matter. 1.

We often talk about great service being "high touch", but great service can sometimes mean fully automated.
As Ken Doble mentioned, 20% of the time someone may need a high touch experience because of the elements that are hard to automate - the edge cases.
But I think it's also important to know that more and more people are preferring the low-touch scenarios.
There are so many scenarios in life where I am astounded that I have to still talk...
