Are your tech stacks getting too tall to stand on their own?Hey, it's Mike Brewer—and in this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I'm unpacking two compelling headlines shaping our industry right now.Donald Davidoff's “AI Acceleration and the New Reality for Multifamily Operators.” It's not just about flashy tools. It's about the fatigue we're all feeling. From tangled tech stacks to vendor overload, Donald lays out what every owner and operator needs to hear. And guess what? We're tackling this head-on at the 2025 Cultivate Conference—my talk is all about tech fatigue.Then we pivot to the 2026 Property Maintenance Forecast from PropertyMeld. No fluff here—just pure insight. Want to know what separates the operational winners from the laggards? It's not just speed. It's early maintenance quality, intake accuracy, and vendor performance. Predictive maintenance is evolving, and if you're not evolving with it—you're falling behind.But here's the kicker: None of this matters without intentional organizational design. You can't automate your way out of chaos. You need alignment. You need clarity. You need the right people in the right seats.So, if you're leading in the Multifamily space—or want to—this one's for you.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.
