Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Funnel x Realpage partnership with Dirk Wakeham — Openness with guardrails, AI, integrations, and trust in multifamily
Q: Is security a bigger part of how you guys are thinking about integrations today than maybe what you thought even a year ago when you signed up?
Wakeham says security and governance are critical because multifamily systems contain sensitive information such as income, Social Security numbers, and credit reports. Companies have a responsibility to protect that data and establish accountable, contractually governed integrations.
The Funnel x Realpage partnership with Dirk Wakeham — Openness with guardrails, AI, integrations, and trust in multifamily
Q: Why do this to begin with, right? And what does it reflect about your ambition for the culture and partnerships moving forward?
Wakeham says a listening tour revealed that customers wanted both end-to-end platforms and the option to choose best-in-class products. Several top customers already used Funnel and asked for the platforms to work better together.
Build-to-rent beyond the spreadsheet: Ryan Smidt on Clay Residential
Q: Do you anticipate and imagine again coming from kind of the institutional investor side, looking at the bigger picture, that this trend will continue nationally, that we'll continue to see more renters, and therefore, we will continue to see more renters moving from apartment renting to home renting?
Smidt expects renting by choice to grow as renting can be more affordable and flexible than ownership. He believes purpose-built rental communities with larger homes, amenities, and strong service can attract more long-term renters.
Build-to-rent beyond the spreadsheet: Ryan Smidt on Clay Residential
Q: What are some of the lessons you potentially see from time as an institutional investor and really comparing that to the current environment, high supply, low rent growth?
Smidt says developers should plan for multiple scenarios, build flexibility into projects and capital structures, and recognize the value of high-quality management that connects meaningfully with residents and supports retention.
Centralization, REIT operations + this moment in multifamily
Q: How do you instill the confidence for people to trust you when you're crossing that chasm and you don't know exactly what the outcome is gonna be?
Jessett says trust depends on a track record of acting for the team's benefit, drawing ideas from people closest to the issue, and engaging those employees as partners in decisions and execution.
