DO YOU WANT (FREE) HELP STARTING IN MULTIFAMILY? FROM J SCOTT: I've been very fortunate over the past 6 years to have an amazing mentor and partner to help me learn the multifamily investing business and scale my portfolio to over 1000 units (and over $150M in assets). And there isn't a day that goes by that I don't talk to someone who is interested in following the same path I did, but who doesn't know where to start and believes that transitioning to multifamily isn't something that the average investor can do. Well, it IS something the average investor can do if they take it step by step, and I'm putting together some articles and videos that I think will help a lot of aspiring multifamily investors get over the hump and start on their multifamily journey. I just want to give back to all of those who may be in the same position I was in a few short years ago. This is completely free (though I do have a paid mentorship group for those looking for more hands-on coaching), and I plan to start putting out the information this week. If you're interested, let me know below and I'll get you the sign-up link...

On a recent episode of Multifamily Chronicles, our guest Carlyle Swafford, CPM® discussed the transformative role of technology in the leasing process and its impact on multifamily operations. The conversation highlighted the balance between adopting cutting-edge technologies and maintaining the personal touch that is crucial in resident interactions. Here are some key takeaways: ✅ Embracing Virtual Leasing: The shift towards virtual leasing gained momentum during COVID-19, prompting many to reevaluate their business practices. Integrating virtual leasing technologies is a current focus, enhancing efficiency without compromising personal interaction. ✅ Balancing Tech and Personal Touch: While leveraging technology for efficiency is essential, maintaining human contact remains vital. Residents and prospects value the personal touch, and being able to provide a "heartbeat on the other side" can become a significant competitive advantage. ✅ Leveraging AI: AI is playing an increasingly significant role, from responding to residents to analyzing data for better decision-making. Implementing AI-driven solutions for collections, renewals, and leasing efforts can streamline operations and improve service delivery. ✅ Centralizing Processes: For 2024, a key objective is to centralize processes across the organization, including application reviews and income verifications. This centralization aims to enhance consistency and efficiency in operations. By strategically integrating technology while preserving the essential human element, multifamily operations can achieve greater efficiency and provide superior service to residents. https://lnkd.in/eBtiHYEE To watch the full episode, click on the links in the comments below.
