Multifamily housing is one of the biggest industries that no one has every heard of! This under-the-radar industry (with its always in-your face assets) is about apartment communities – a thriving industry of residential buildings that provide housing to millions of people across the country. In fact, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council, there are over 43 million renter households in the United States. That’s one-third of all households! With such a vast market share, multifamily housing can be a complex and highly competitive industry. And as a result of the demand for housing, staffing these properties can be a challenge. That’s where TalentWoo comes in.
So, what exactly is multifamily housing? It’s an industry made up of property management companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs), private equity firms and apartment communities. These companies acquire, develop, and manage rental properties, including apartments, townhomes, and condominiums. In addition to maintaining the physical properties, they also manage the rental process, from marketing and leasing to rent collection and tenant retention.
There titans of the multifamily housing industry include large property management companies like Greystar, AvalonBay Communities, and Equity Residential, as well as REITs like Essex Property Trust and UDR, Inc. These heavy-weights own and manage thousands of properties across the country, making them some of the largest employers in the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC: https://www.nmhc.org). But there are also many smaller property management companies that specialize in managing properties in specific regions or submarkets.
One of the biggest challenges that property management companies face is the ongoing need to staff their properties. Property managers, leasing agents, maintenance technicians, and other staff members are critical to the success of a multifamily property. But finding and hiring qualified candidates can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Additionally, many property management companies struggle to retain their employees, leading to high turnover rates and increased costs associated with recruiting and training new staff members.
