David Blumenfeld is the co-founder of Next Rivet, a proptech advisory firm that helps real estate businesses leverage digital technology to solve real business challenges. With experience leading business development at Westfield Labs—the innovation arm of Westfield Shopping Centers—David has a deep understanding of how to bridge the gap between traditional real estate operations and emerging technologies. At Next Rivet, he focuses on building tailored technology roadmaps and overseeing successful implementation, ensuring that technology delivers measurable impact, not just flashy concepts.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Proptech is not about chasing buzzwords—it's about identifying business problems first and applying the right tools to solve them. The biggest failure in tech implementation comes from unclear business requirements, not from the technology itself. AI is not a stand-alone solution but an ingredient that enhances existing tools and processes. Operational efficiencies, lease management, and tenant experience are key focus areas where technology can provide immediate ROI. Success comes from doing the upfront work: define your goals clearly, then explore solutions.     Topics What Is Proptech and Why It Matters Proptech (property technology) spans digital leasing tools, building management systems, smart locks, energy efficiency tech, tenant experience platforms, and more. The slow adoption rate in real estate offers an opportunity for forward-thinking operators to gain an edge. Focus should always be on solving operational challenges—not on adopting tech for tech's sake. Avoiding the “Deck on the Desk” Problem Many consulting firms hand over a giant report without real action steps. Next Rivet helps clients move from strategy to implementation, working directly with vendors and ensuring real results. Their approach is tech-agnostic—choosing the right tools for the job, not locking clients into a specific vendor. Where Most Owners Should Start with Tech Focus on basic operational systems: lease digitization, renewal tracking, building management systems. Use AI as a layer within these systems to streamline lease abstraction, document review, and operations. Prioritize energy efficiency tools that can produce real cost savings (e.g., HVAC optimization, smart metering). Technology Across Asset Classes Retail: Enhance shopper experience through frictionless parking, special tenant offers, and real-time inventory insights. Office: Provide infrastructure that allows tenants to customize their tech stack while the building remains future-proof. Multifamily: Combine leasing, operations, and tenant engagement into seamless digital experiences. How to Vet and Choose Tech Solutions Wisely Clearly define business needs before engaging vendors. Develop tight business and technical requirements—just like architectural plans for a building. Avoid jumping into tools just because they're AI-powered or new; focus on real benefits and usability.    

Today on The Multifamily Podcast, Ronn and Martin are covering an article posted by PropModo.com. "The multifamily sector needing 4.3 million apartments by 2035", source Propmodo.com. Then we will be getting into some big Google updates the multifamily industry needs to know about! Speaking on Google's Fresh Content Update and Google Ads new Performance (PMAX) Campaign type. Things are always shifting in Google Land, so it's important to stay in the know! So, Let's get into it!

Reporting rent payments to credit bureaus is growing in popularity to help tenants build credit. But it's not just something that helps tenants. According to the media website, Propmodo, it's also a better way to do business for landlords. And there are a growing number of companies offering this service to both tenants and landlords. (1)Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.Having a long history of on-time rent payments speaks well of a renter. That's something every landlord looks for during the screening process. But until more recently, the only option for passing that information along to the “next” landlord is by word of mouth – from one landlord to another who's checking references, typically by phone.For the renter, on-time rent payments will obviously keep the peace with a current landlord, and help with any phone calls from a new landlord, but it does little to improve a renter's credit score. Although renters can build credit from paying their other bills, rent hasn't been one of things reported to the big three credit agencies because landlords are not considered creditors.Technology-Based SolutionsThe arrival of technology-based solutions or “fintech” is changing the way this information is distributed. Just this week, a company called “Bilt Rewards” announced that it will offer a free rent reporting service for tenants who live in Bilt Alliance multi-family buildings.Bilt tenants have been able to earn points for paying their rent on time, and then use those points to pay for other things like travel or to help pay next month's rent. And now those tenants can also choose to have those rent payments reported to Experian, Equifax, and Transunion to help build their credit, which they need to possibly eventually buy a home.As Bilt says on its website: “Rent reporting can help build a credit history, increase the types of credit on your credit report, and may boost your credit score.” (2)Rent Reporting is Valuable to LandlordsThis kind of information is also valuable to landlords to evaluate the likelihood that a future tenant will pay his or her rent. It even seems like a glaring omission that rent reporting has not been part of the credit reporting system, but as I mentioned, that's changing.There are a number of companies now offering the service. FrontLobby and RentRedi are two that come to mind, along with the one I previously mentioned, Bilt Rewards.Propmodo mentions a company called Piñata that also rewards tenants for making on-time payments. It's a New Jersey start-up with an app that provides currency to tenants with timely rent payments. That currency can then be used to buy things from prominent brands like Costco, Amazon, and Starbucks. Piñata also helps tenants build credit, and hopes to close the credit discrimination gap for renters.Propmodo says that the “lack” of rent reporting can be a source of frustration for renters. According to a report from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, almost 11 million renters spent more than 50% of their income on housing in 2018. That's a big chunk of a typical renter's income that doesn't build equity, and without contributing to their credit score, provides no additional financial benefit.Building Credit, Avoiding DelinquenciesAs reported by Propmodo, FrontLobby says that tenants have seen their credit scores jump more than 40 points “in a matter of months.” And for landlords, it says they can “lower payment delinquencies by 36%.” The Propmodo piece calls it a win-win for both tenants and landlords because “landlords and property management companies can make better screening decisions when they're deciding who to rent to. And, it says that “offering to report a tenant's rent payments to the credit bureaus is its own incentive to attract tenants.” For tenants, it helps them build credit, which they might need if they ever want to become homeowners.Fannie Mae has been using data on rent payments in its underwriting process since last September. And Freddie Mac is reportedly looking into doing it as well.

Of all the episodes we've published, this one may be the most focused on marketing and communications. I'm joined by Franco Faraudo, the co-founder of Propmodo, to discuss a wide variety of topics including content marketing, working with the media, pr strategy, and why your press release about raising $50 million is uninteresting. Franco has a real heart and passion for writing and for the cutting edge in real estate. When you put those two things together, you're bound to get something unique. Propmodo is one of the industry leading media sites you can follow for industry relevant news and thought pieces. I've been a reader of Propmodo and a fan of Franco's work for some time now, so of course I was super pumped to do this interview. I think every founder or exec in proptech will walk away with a ton of value from our discussion.

A new generation of technological solutions has enabled an unprecedented understanding of how the agile workforce wants to work.

When it comes to tenant attraction and retention it seems like everyone in the Real Estate industry is trying to one-up each other. An "Amenities Arms Race," some might say. Logan Nagel (@Logan_W_Nagel, TW) has witnessed much of this race first as an analyst and now as Associate Publisher at Propmodo.com. Nagel believes strongly and has witnessed first hand, the value brought to a building when a tenant's experience is carefully curated and optimized. In this conversation replay from later in season 2, Blake and Logan discuss: Why curating the tenant experience is important and how some buildings are doing so. How the "Amenities Arms Race" is changing the bottom line. The rise of suburban co-working models and the urbanization of the suburbs. Logan Nagel is a professional in PropTech and media with a focus on investment, development, technology, and sustainability. He is Propmodo's Associate Publisher and was previously the junior member of Tucson, Arizona's top 100+ unit apartment sales team with Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR. Before that, Logan worked with Tandem, a Chicago-based mixed-use apartment developer and also worked with J.P.

One of the biggest over-simplification happens when property teams are told that they need to move to "the cloud." Not only is there not one magical cloud that all of their work processes can be integrated on-to, actually switching over to cloud-based workflows requires taking care of a lot of important details that can make or break the transition. In this podcast, Propmodo editor Franco Faraudo talsk with some of the people behind ARGUS's new cloud-based software push as they share what they learned from their users about the best ways for property teams to integrate "the cloud" into their daily processes.

The results from our Propmodo Metatrends articles are in. It turns out the seemingly mundane topic of data accessibility has really gotten a lot of your attention. I guess having to make multi-million dollar decisions based on incomplete or incorrect information can really add gravitas to the details of a subject like this. To keep the conversation going we thought that it would be fitting to have a conference call to talk about the real estate data standards that are being pushed by various organizations. Our guest speakers include Estated's Josh Fraser, OSCRE's Lisa Stanley, and RESO's Jeremy Crawford.
