We just wrapped up our 2026 Tech Adoption Research, and I've spent the last few days sitting with the results and thinking about what the data tells us.
This industry talks about technology constantly, but there's a real gap between what operators say they're using and what's actually driving performance on their properties.
Our research set out to close that gap, pulling data straight from operators across the country instead of relying on...

The current administration has reportedly discussed potential changes to capital gains taxation, including the concept of indexing capital gains for inflation.The principle is simple: investors could potentially be taxed on their real economic gain, rather than the full nominal increase in value.Here's an example:An investor purchases an asset for $300,000 and sells it several years later for $500,000.Under the current system, the taxable gain wo ...
Most portfolios market everything in roughly the same voice. It's an easy thing to let happen. The marketing team is centralized, the templates already exist, and nobody wants to maintain five separate brand systems for the same owner.The question worth asking is whether your portfolio is having one conversation or several.Consider the range in senior housing. A single organization can operate permanent supportive housing where residents contribu ...
I've talked to 3 PM's last month who are only checking income for co-signers.
My question to them... are you willing to risk fair housing compliance, contract enforceability, identity fraud, or financial backing by not screening co-signers the same way as primary applicants?
How is the group approaching co-signers?

Credit checks including IDV and document fraud, yes. A great deal of the industry operates this way. At minimum, I usually saw a credit check requirement.
When you say same process as applicant - the only item I would not align on is a criminal screening for a guarantor. Guarantors do not have access to the home/ community and therefore carry a different risk profile.
Excellent article. There is an old saying that stands the test of time. You don't get what you expect. You get what you "inspect!" Continue to review and expand, as needed, your checklist, as even a 20+ year employee can forget to inspect every it
One of the biggest misconceptions about leasing is that it’s all about giving tours and showing amenities.
In reality, the best leasing consultants know it’s about listening first.
Over the years, I’ve learned that some of the biggest mistakes are:
• Talking more than listening.
• Selling features instead of helping people picture themselves at home.
• Being afraid to ask for the lease when someone is ready.
Leasing isn’t about convincing...

A practical way to measure Generative AI's impact on leasing, collections and renewals AI earns attention in multifamily for many reasons, but for operators, there are two clear drivers of value: automating outbound communications to move work faster and making execution more consistent. But none of these promises belongs in an NOI discussion until it can be tied to a measurable operating result.The useful question is not, "Is AI he ...
There is an unsaid issue that too many companies struggle with - there are so many open tickets, that we can’t afford to have our maintenance teams stepping away from their daily duties. Therefore, maintenance does not get the training opportunities they need, including leadership growth.

I've been in brokerage for over 25 years now, and I've watched a lot of firms come and go.And here's the thing: the ones that last don't have some secret sauce. They're not smarter than everyone else. They're not connected to some magic pipeline you don't have access to.They just do three things, over and over, long after those things stop feeling exciting.I call them the 3 F's.Read through them and be honest with yourself about which one y ...

Absolutely agree, Sarah! It's awesome to hear that your teams are having those conversations and using their skills and communication to make things better!
The apartment industry spends enormous amounts of time discussing occupancy, conversion rates, resident satisfaction, and operational efficiency.Yet one of the biggest sources of friction in the renter journey is hiding in plain sight.Uncertainty.Not uncertainty about rent.Not uncertainty about availability.Uncertainty about pets.For millions of renters, the question isn't simply:"Are pets allowed?"It's:Which pets?How many?Are there breed restric ...
This applies so much beyond training, too. We see the same thing with marketing technology and AI right now. More tools don’t automatically mean better performance. The teams getting the most out of them are the ones having the conversations, buildin

The chart also suggests that advantage hasn't disappeared across every category. It'll be interesting to see whether the gap genuinely narrows over the next few years, or whether the real differentiator simply shifts from access to execution.
Great research. Looking forward to reading the full report. TECH
Your point on regional operators is the one worth watching. Enterprise portfolios have the budget advantage, but they also carry the implementation drag — layers of approval, dedicated tech teams, and pilot cycles that slow deployment. A regional owner with twelve properties and operational agility can move from decision to execution faster than a 300-unit enterprise can schedule the kickoff call.
The interactive dashboard is the right format for this data. Benchmarking against peers of similar size and region turns research into an actual decision-making tool rather than a vendor-facing slideshow. TECH
