  • Hot Topics Short of Real Analysis

    Case in point, a recent episode on current crisis in housing affordability completely ignored two key issues:

    1. increased competition from all cash deals

    2. Lack of accurate objective data analysis on valuation & appraisals

    Home ownership in the 21st century needs a business model paradigm shift gentlemen. Not just the obvious noise reduction and simplification in all inefficient processing!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Multifamily | 40% of Renters Can't Qualify, And You're Leaving Money on the Table, with Zach Schofel, Co-founder & CEO of Cosign & Principal at Eastman Residential
Q: From a venture perspective, what would make Cosign a venture-backable business and how do you view the addressable market?
The category is venture-backable due to its large addressable market, high value per transaction in multifamily, and the potential to significantly improve occupancy and revenue for property owners when combined with a disciplined insurance-like risk model and scalable tech.
Multifamily | 40% of Renters Can't Qualify, And You're Leaving Money on the Table, with Zach Schofel, Co-founder & CEO of Cosign & Principal at Eastman Residential
Q: How is Cosign different from traditional guarantors or the lease insurance or security deposit placements?
Cosign uses renter behavior metrics, recency, and multi-step scoring instead of relying solely on credit scores, allowing renters with thin or imperfect credit to still qualify for leases while maintaining risk controls for landlords.
Multifamily | 40% of Renters Can't Qualify, And You're Leaving Money on the Table, with Zach Schofel, Co-founder & CEO of Cosign & Principal at Eastman Residential
Q: So for those of you who are not familiar with Cosign or Eastman Residential, can you give us a quick background on what you do?
Eastman Residential is the multifamily affiliate of Eastman Companies, focusing on opportunistic strategies in the multifamily sector and aiming to replace or supplement traditional guarantor models with a superior, data-driven alternative that better predicts lease fulfillment.
How CRE is Implementing Agentic Workflows, with Lev CEO Yaakov Zar
Q: What have you learned about selling AI to the CRE industry and moving from pilots to real adoption?
Most CRE players start with pilots and demos, but scale requires governance, dedicated providers, and a clear ROI; the real value comes from tools that fit into existing workflows and data streams, not just novelty features.
Residential | Are AI Agents Real Estate Agents' Best New Partners? with Breezy Founder & CEO James Harris
Q: There are endless conversations about AI replacing agents. What do people get wrong about that narrative?
AI will augment rather than completely replace agents; trust, emotion, and human relationships remain essential, while intelligence and data delivery will be accelerated to help agents work more efficiently.
