In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer explores the concept of leapfrogging—taking a giant leap forward by bypassing traditional stages of development. Drawing parallels to how underdeveloped regions use technology like drones and 3D printing to overcome infrastructure challenges, Mike explains how AI enables multifamily businesses to leapfrog outdated systems and processes. Remember when the tech wave first crashed onto the shores of multifamily, bringing automated leasing agents, CRM systems, and fraud detection? Many companies may have missed the initial wave, but now AI and large language models (LLMs) offer a chance to catch up—and even get ahead. With AI, you can build custom software solutions tailored to your property’s needs without the high costs and time associated with traditional partners. Imagine creating bespoke systems on your own or hiring an expert to guide the process for a fraction of what you’d pay today. Sure, these new systems might start out less sophisticated than established ones, but they’ll get better with each iteration—just like AI learns and improves over time. Mike reminds us that this is the power of being alive right now: the chance to shape the next generation of property management with tools that evolve alongside your business needs.
