The multifamily industry will focus on human capital interaction. As labor costs continue to rise, companies are increasingly turning to technology to streamline operations. AI is emerging as a key tool to optimize most high volume, low value tasks. By automating routine processes, property managers can allocate more time to building relationships with residents and addressing complex issues. Property managers will need to develop new skills to effectively manage the integration of AI into guest experiences. This includes understanding AI, troubleshooting, and providing personalized service in a hybrid environment. AI WILL PUSH PROPERTY MANAGERS TO LEARN NEW SKILLS
2025 will see an abundance of smaller multifamily assets in a general state of distress. Why? During the COVID years, many investors who may have lost their W-2 positions decided to try their hand in the world of multifamily investing. Unfortunately, many of those did not have the knowledge and skills necessary to be landlords. Assets went into disrepair to save money and eventually reserves were depleted. Faced with a decision to spend profits on repairs and updates or to sell, we may find a great deal of these buildings hitting the market. INEXPERIENCED INVESTORS TO FACE CHALLENGES AND SELL

This shift means it’s a great time to expand your skill set because one-trick ponies might be in for a rough ride.
