But markets shift. Supply gets absorbed. Talent pipelines overflow.We’re seeing CEOs at Starbucks and JP Morgan put their foot down. AI is getting the first shot at new jobs. And in Multifamily, centralization and PropTech are rapidly changing how we staff our teams — from corporate offices to onsite teams.This isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness. If you lead in this space, you’d better know where the puck is headed.If you found this conversation helpful, hit that like button and subscribe for more leadership insights from the front lines of Multifamily and PropTech.

Forget everything you thought you knew about SEO.The game has changed—and it's called AEO: Answer Engine Optimization.In this episode of the Multi-PM Collective, I break down something I spotted at NAA’s Apartmentalize Conference that's about to reshape Multifamily marketing. AEO isn’t just a new acronym—it’s a new mindset. One where AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Anthropic are replacing traditional search.Prospects aren’t Googling “apartments in Atlanta” anymore.They’re asking for one inside an AI.And the smart players? They’re optimizing their content—every property page, every piece of metadata, every image schema—to show up as the answer in that prompt.The kicker? You don’t need to pay overpriced ILSs to win this game.You just need the right strategy and a website that’s built for the prompt-driven future.I’m not knocking the ILS model. I’m just saying the future belongs to those who don’t have to rely on it.🔔 Like, Subscribe, and Hit the Bell so you don’t miss the next evolution in PropTech, Multifamily, and leadership strategy.

Ever dreamed of marketing your Multifamily communities with the flair of a Hollywood trailer?You're not alone.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I unpack a powerful vision that’s no longer just a dream. Artificial Intelligence is now capable of producing cinematic-quality videos—on the fly—of your apartments, common areas, and neighborhoods. And it gets better...Imagine this: the moment a resident submits their notice to vacate, your system springs into action. AI identifies a prospective renter, creates a stunning, emotionally compelling video of the available unit, and delivers it directly to that prospect—all without human hands touching a thing.This isn't science fiction. It’s happening now.And if your marketing or IT department has the muscle, you don’t need to outsource it. You can build it in-house. Fully choreographed. Fully automated. Fully cinematic.Emotion sells. AI delivers. Let’s put the two together.🎯 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell to keep up with the cutting edge of Multifamily, PropTech, and Leadership.

We’re all talking about artificial intelligence in Multifamily. Efficiency. Automation. Cost savings. But what if we’re missing the real story?In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I explore how AI isn’t just a tech tool—it's a gateway. A path to deeper connection, real presence, and actual human engagement in our communities.Forget about screens and distractions. Picture an office where the noise is gone. Where you don’t just fix problems—you feel people. You connect. You listen. That’s the future AI is building.Yes, AI will streamline operations. Yes, it will enhance PropTech infrastructure. But the true value? Giving your team the time and mental space to show up fully—with empathy, focus, and authenticity.People will pay double—double—for that kind of presence.So the question isn’t, “How efficient can AI make us?”It’s, “What kind of human experience can it unlock?”Let’s rethink the real power of artificial intelligence in Multifamily.If this episode struck a chord, like and subscribe to stay connected to the conversation.

We’ve all heard it before—location, location, location. But what if that’s only part of the story?In this episode of Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer returns fresh from Apartmentalize 2025 to unpack a timeless truth... with a modern twist. It’s no longer just about where your asset sits or even who’s running it—it’s about how you amplify both with AI.Mike lays out the evolving equation of success in the multifamily space:Location. People. AI.Yes, artificial intelligence is the new lever for unlocking efficiency, boosting performance, and freeing up your team to do what matters most—building real relationships.If you’re in leadership, investing in PropTech, or just trying to stay one step ahead in the multifamily space, this is one conversation you’ll want to catch.Like what you hear?

A federal appeals court ruling now allows landlords' lawsuit over eviction bans to move forward. Here's what this means for property owners, especially those who were impacted by the eviction moratorium during the pandemic.The court decision, handed down on Friday, denies a request for a full court hearing, leaving the door open for landlords to seek potential claims against the federal government. This lawsuit stems from the Biden administration’s eviction moratorium that handcuffed landlords from evicting residents who couldn’t pay rent, or in some cases, simply refused to.🏢 What’s at stake?Some estimates suggest landlords could be looking at over $23 billion in potential claims related to lost rent during the moratorium. But what does this mean for landlords who bought properties during the pandemic? Can they reclaim those losses or will it be limited to current owners?Mike weighs in on the implications and offers his perspective on how this could be a huge win for landlords—despite the understandable need for eviction moratoriums at the time.🔔 Stay tuned for more updates from Apartmentalize 2025, including in-depth analysis and thought-provoking discussions that are shaping the future of multifamily.
