"The real head-turner...their insights on repurposing empty office buildings." 

In this week's blink-and-you'll-miss-it episode of The Multifamily Review, Marcus Armstrong recaps his electrifying experience at the Blueprint conference, somehow managing to squeeze a 3-day conference debrief into a 3-minute podcast. From the palpable sigh of relief that swept the room after the Fed's interest rate cut announcement (apparently a collective holding of breath was involved), to the surprising abundance of investors looking for opportunities in the predicted decline of mid-sized management companies, Marcus covers it all. He raves about the focus on leveraging technology, not just for flashy AI gimmicks, but for practical solutions like predicting maintenance needs (finally, an end to surprise toilet explosions!). The real estate equivalent of turning lead into gold, however, seems to lie in repurposing empty office buildings. According to Marcus, the person who cracks this code will basically be richer than… well, richer than someone who owns a lot of fully occupied apartment buildings, presumably. Tune in to hear Marcus breathlessly summarize the future of multifamily, and maybe learn how to fit a week’s worth of conference insights into your next elevator pitch.
