Multifamily Weekend Update - Ep 067

Описание: Multifamily Weekend Update | Episode 67 — Google Enters Real Estate, SaaS Lawsuits, AI Accountability & 2025 Wrapped

It’s our final live show of 2025, and somehow, the news did not slow down.

In Episode 67, we break down Google quietly entering real estate search, why it should make ILSs and owners nervous, and what it signals for multifamily SEO in 2026. We also unpack multiple lawsuits shaking the industry, from workplace culture risks to a very spicy AppFolio vs. Beagle Insurance legal battle that reads like a SaaS diss track.

Then we zoom out.
AI accountability is no longer theoretical. New legislation and regulatory pressure mean “trust us” black boxes won’t cut it anymore. Owners and operators will need to explain their data, their pricing, and their decisions — or risk exposure.

And because it’s December, we hand the mic to our intern for Multifamily Weekend Update: 2025 Wrapped — a slightly unhinged, sleep-deprived recap of concessions, AI, rent control debates, conferences, and why this is not a podcast.

We close with industry highlights, some holiday perspective, and a birthday shout-out to the godfather of multifamily media himself.

Think SNL meets The Daily Show, but trapped inside a leasing office during budget season.
