How much of your onsite team’s day goes to repetitive work?
According to the National Apartment Association and AppFolio, rental housing professionals spend 38% of their time on routine operational work and another 26% on reactive, issue-driven tasks. Together, that’s nearly two-thirds of the workday.
For onsite teams, that work includes letting guests in, answering access requests, coordinating maintenance, and getting units ready for move-in.
Technology and workforce strategy are becoming central to how properties perform. The real question is where technology can give your team time back.
In this week’s #MultifamilyNewsWeekly, we look at three places to start: automating recurring tasks, simplifying visitor management, and keeping resident communications consistent.
Small fixes to everyday workflows add up to a smoother day for your team and a better experience for your residents.

125 vehicle credentials can take up to 10.54 staff hours just to program and issue. And the work doesn’t stop there.
When residents move, change vehicles, or lose their credentials, your team has to update, replace, and manage them all over again.
With ButterflyMX License Plate Recognition, an authorized vehicle’s plate becomes its access credential, eliminating the need for you to issue a separate physical credential to each vehicle.
That means your team manages fewer physical tags, fobs, and remotes and can save up to $1,500 in upfront credential costs.

Pack a light jacket for OPTECH. Seriously.
The Las Vegas sun doesn’t reach the meeting rooms, and they can run cold. It’s one of the tips in our insider’s guide to OPTECH 2026, happening November 16–18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The guide covers everything else worth sorting out before you land: planning your route through hundreds of exhibitors, what to pack, and the sessions to add to your calendar. They range from the opening keynote on human judgment in the age of AI to a hands-on AI strategy lab where you leave with a draft roadmap.
And when you’re mapping out your booth visits, you'll want to make sure you leave time to stop by Booth 429 to see our new License Plate Recognition Cameras.

The fastest way to let a guest in is already in your resident’s pocket.
When a visitor arrives, residents should be able to see who’s there and open the door from their phone, without a call to the office.
ButterflyMX Video Intercom puts entry in residents’ hands. They can let visitors in from their smartphone, get in themselves with the app, a 6-digit PIN, a fob or a keycard, and send guests a QR code or PIN ahead of time.
And every door release is logged with a time- and date-stamped photo, stored for 365 days.
That means fewer “can you let my guest in?” calls, fewer surprises at the door, and more time for your team to spend on residents.

Apartment deliveries are down more than 60%. So why are nearly 1 in 3 multifamily properties still offering major rent concessions?
New Apartment List research shows nearly one-third of multifamily properties nationwide are advertising concessions worth at least one month of free rent. In some markets, that figure exceeds 57%.
Meanwhile, apartment deliveries have fallen more than 60% from their peak, onsite employee turnover has reached 29%, and major investment activity continues, including Apollo and UDR's $2 billion multifamily joint venture and Northwind's $1 billion real estate debt fund.
As operators finalize their 2027 budgets, these developments point to an important shift: The next competitive advantage may come from operating more efficiently, not simply spending more.
This week's Multifamily News Weekly breaks down the latest headlines and explores why smarter workflows, strategic technology investments, and operational efficiency could help define the year ahead.

@capsendapp Absolutely! 🙌 Three leases in one month is an incredible result, and hearing Paul share his experience firsthand makes the story even more powerful.
Leasing moves faster when prospects can get the access they need.
In our case study with Paul Xuereb from PX Enterprises, he shares how ButterflyMX helped him secure three leases in just one month by remotely providing prospective tenants with access to view apartments a second or third time with family or spouses.

Your property operations may be closer to a breaking point than you think.
Our survey of 150 property managers and owners found that once a property reaches 30 units, security risks become much harder for your team to manage.
The answer is not deeper budget cuts or more manual work. You need smarter systems that help your team save time, reduce risk, and protect NOI.
