    MF Weekend Update - Fri Aug 14th

    Eric and Justin are officially one episode away from 100, but there’s plenty of multifamily news to cover before the celebration. They kick things off with a racing-inspired look at the week, then run through the multifamily and PropTech companies landing on the Inc. 5000, including PetScreening, Funnel, Thompson Thrift, MRI, Foxen, Dojo Networks, ApproveShield, NetVendor, Airwave and others. Then it’s time to get “Real.” RealPage’s RealWorld conference took over Denver this week, and the company debuted a refreshed brand under CEO Dirk Wakeham. Eric and Justin break down the simplified RealPage identity, what changed with the logo, and why mature technology companies eventually need their brands to catch up with the businesses they’ve become. The show also covers another round of consolidation with Connexus and ASM joining forces, plus Jay Parsons’ question of whether multifamily rent growth may have finally hit “rock bottom.” With rent growth beginning to trend upward and multifamily lending showing some momentum, could the market finally be turning a corner? And then there’s one of the more provocative ideas of the week: Can you operate multifamily with zero full-time employees? Brad Hargreaves and Thesis Driven are testing exactly that. Eric and Justin debate what an AI-first, highly automated property management company might actually look like — and whether renters are ready to live in a community with virtually no traditional staff. There’s also a $25 million raise for ApartmentIQ, new leadership at OneValet, a private equity partnership for Intrinsic Brands, another Quote of the Week, and possibly the strangest Moment of Wonder yet: things TSA won’t let you bring on an airplane. And, of course, Episode 099 ends with a preview of the big one: Episode 100 is next.
