  • Inside AppFolio: Building the Systems Behind Our Investor Experience
    Apr 7 2026

    In this episode, we go behind the scenes of what it actually takes to deliver a seamless investor experience—and why we made the transition to AppFolio Investment Manager.

    Co-hosts Lauren Torres and Lauren Messina of Multi-Family Real Estate Investing presented by Mara Poling break down how growing a platform means rethinking the systems that support it.

    As we’ve scaled, so has the complexity of managing investor relationships, financial reporting, and data across multiple funds and investments. What worked early on—spreadsheets, manual processes, and email—simply doesn’t scale without introducing risk and inefficiencies.

    In this episode, we walk through what building that infrastructure really involves:
    • Cleaning and migrating historical data
    • Structuring funds, entities, and investor relationships
    • Accurately tracking capital accounts, distributions, and preferred returns
    • Creating a reporting engine that delivers clarity and consistency

    We also cover what this means for our investors—from a more transparent dashboard and centralized documents to a consolidated view across investments.

    This conversation is designed for both sides of the table:
    Investors looking for greater visibility and confidence
    Operators building systems that can support long-term growth

    Because ultimately, the investor experience is a direct reflection of the systems behind it.

  • We Get By with a Little Help from Our Lenders
    Apr 1 2026

    What happens after the loan closes is just as important as getting the deal done. In this episode, The Laurens take a behind-the-scenes look at the ongoing relationship with lenders—and why it plays a critical role in the success of a multifamily investment.

    We walk through the key requirements lenders expect post-closing, including regular financial reporting, monitoring DSCR, managing tax and insurance escrows, and navigating annual inspections. More importantly, we explain how these processes create structure, accountability, and an added layer of oversight that ultimately benefits investors.

    We also discuss what happens when performance doesn’t go according to plan, and why proactive communication with lenders can make all the difference. Strong lender relationships aren’t just about compliance—they’re about partnership, discipline, and protecting long-term value.

  • Who’s Buying Multifamily Right Now with Matt Wideman
    Mar 10 2026

    The multifamily market has shifted significantly over the past two years — but deals are still getting done. The question is: who is actually buying, and how are they getting deals across the finish line?

    In this episode, Matt Wideman, Managing Director at Berkadia, shares what he’s seeing from the front lines of multifamily transactions. We discuss who is actively acquiring assets today, how pricing and cap rate expectations have reset, and what separates buyers who are winning deals from those who aren’t.

    Matt also pulls back the curtain on what’s happening behind the scenes from listing to closing, how financing and capital stacks have evolved, and what investors should be paying attention to as the market continues to adjust.
