Hi! I'm seeking some input on integrating corporate housing into a luxury community. How are companies and occupants being vetted? Are the companies that do the "leg work" of this process more expensive than theyre worth? What are the operational risks / setbacks you've encountered?

The goal is to take an application from submission to a structured screening result, so your team doesn't have to spend hours going through every detail manually.

When an applicant submits their rental application, you can send all that information to an automation platform (like n8n, Make, Zapier,...

100%! It's a strange time we're living in. And while AI can be a helpful tool for things like information parsing and organization and even research, what it creates for branding and marketing is mostly stripped of humanity. And humanity is what conn

It's so interesting how this can be the case! I will say, especially on Linkedin, I'm seeing a lot of bot-like comments/engagements on content too though! So I always wonder if I'm just shouting into the void and it's only AI bots out there?

This is such a timely and important conversation. I think in the early days of AI, our brains hadn't yet picked up on all the AI patterns, so the writing still felt fresh. As AI writing took over our feeds and websites, our brains started to recogniz

I think the challenge is multi-faceted:1) My team often looks at posts that we feel are such a turn-off, like AI generated "thought leadership", inauthentic posts, or weirdly shilling one's kids, and we are flabbergasted that they get so much interac

1. Cash flow. Income remaining after operating expenses, debt service and appropriate reserves.
2. Appreciation. Growth in the property’s value over time.
3. Principal paydown. Reducing the loan balance and increasing your ownership equity.

My favorite is a fourth: manufacturing equity.

Do people seek a supplier because they have a problem they want to solve, or because they have a solution already in mind? It was a fascinating question that popped up in my interview of Kerri Davis regarding her founding story with FORTRESS OS.We delved into strategies for developing a new software solution, how to avoid "tech debt", and viewing affordable solutions not just as a module bolted on a market-r ...

High rise luxury communities are you allowing DoorDash and uber drivers up to deliver to door?

Guest Insider Nope can’t get up our elevators without a FOB thankfully

Anonymous member Not a high rise but I only would allow up with residents consent would I allow someone up in our controlled access controlled elevator. Otherwise the resident needs to come meet them in the lobby.
The issue with the orders we had with being left in the lobby is someone passing through and then nicking them. Then we had to go and watch through security footage and the gym in our building, one of the trainers was stealing residents food.
So you have to set that precedent with your residents. No food to be left in the lobby, please come down to collect your food or let us know you have food arriving and we’ll let them up.

Two communities can offer nearly identical amenities and leave entirely different impressions.One gives you a list of features. The other helps you imagine how your life could feel there.One shows you beautiful spaces. The other makes the choices behind those spaces understandable.One welcomes you warmly during the tour. The other carries that attention through the application, move-in and the first time something goes wrong.The difference lives ...

💡 This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine. 🎶

Okay, technically it’s 22 lights. 😂

I thought our breezeways needed better lighting, so I found a light I liked at a great price and suggested we test it on one building before making a bigger investment.

My maintenance team jumped in and installed 22 lights in a three-story building in less than two hours.

And WOW — what a difference.

The remaining 24 buildings are now in the 2027 budget. 🙌I love improvements like this. It didn’t require a massive renovation — just a good idea, the right product and a maintenance team willing to jump in and make it happen.Now I can’t wait to hear what our residents think!Before ➡️ After
Guest Insider Steve Matre Thank you, Steve! That means a lot! I’ve always believed that if you want ownership to invest in an idea, you need to show them why it makes sense. Starting with one building gave us a chance to prove the concept without a huge investment. Now we’ve got the remaining 24 buildings in the 2027 budget! I call that a win! 😊

Guest Insider Jessica Siderius Thank you, Jessica! I love the idea of a before-and-after contest! Sometimes it’s the smaller improvements that make the biggest impact. And who doesn’t love a good before-and-after picture? 😊

Fantastic take on how to truly set yourself apart when so many prospects are choosing prior to visiting. The visit is to confirm their choice not make it in many cases.
