Shared Use — Re-Allocating Space for Additional Revenue
Alex Enchin, CEO, WhereIPark
Jason Kamen, Director of Real Estate and Partnerships, WhyHotel
Jaja Jackson, Director, Global Multifamily Housing Partnerships, Airbnb
Moderator: Daniel Cohen, Founder, daydream apartments
Technology is making it possible at scale to master-lease the right to rent a multifamily building without being the property owner. New companies are acquiring the right to rent units out, but without buying the underlying asset. New forms of synthetic rental acquisition are creating new opportunities in real estate while giving property owners new options in monetizing their inventory. This session will look at the emerging market for whole-building rentals, alongside the markets for fractional wholesale rentals. We’ll underwrite some case studies and consider the analytics that owners and asset managers should consider when buying or reviewing an asset.
Key Takeaways:
-
New companies that can provide wholesale leasing options to owners
-
Entrepreneurial opportunities for managers, owners and analysts in understanding this market
-
Brainstorming how these options may impact financing and management of multifamily properties

Underwriting Short-Stay Income for Investors and Lenders
Eric Broughton, General Manager, Multifamily, Expedia
Donald Davidoff, CEO, D2Demand
Ashby Foltz, Vice President of Product, Rented.com
Joshua Viner, Senior Manager – Multifamily, Vacasa
Moderator: Gigi Giannoni, Vice President of Marketing, Gable Residential
Have you heard about a buyer who lost a deal to a competitor using short-stay revenue to boost their expected yield? Owners, managers, counter-parties and lenders all have a vested interest in better understanding how to segment short-stay revenue (resident-generated, vacant-unit, purposefully allocated), and estimate it. As the magnitude of this revenue grows, multifamily will look to third-party data sources, an understanding of new underwriting factors and to reliably estimate the new, higher revenue potential. Asset managers will want new tools to help them understand when to add and subtract units from short-stay inventory and how to create models that maximize revenue when the options for using rental inventory have expanded.
Key Takeaways:
-
Information on third-party data sources
-
Case studies of the different segments of revenue
-
Underwriting criteria that differentiate short-stay from annual lease revenue
-
Differential operating expense information
-
Options in achieving this revenue

Smart home technology is exciting, intuitive and well-hyped in multifamily. Smart homes are a hot investment space, and technology companies are looking for scalable opportunities in software sales and direct-to-consumer sales while analyzing reams of data from utilities and sensors. But the complexities of installing physical hardware and implementing and integrating software are new and encompassing. We’ll ask for candid presentations of the keys to successful smart technology, from installation to training to risk management and maintenance.
Key Takeaways:
-
Contract and legal considerations in smart home partnerships
-
State of software integrations for various products
-
Details of installing new tech in existing properties
-
New development perspectives on when to invest in resident tech
Meet the VCs
Lindsay Hyde, Venture Partner, Moderne Ventures
Matt Knight, Investor, Shadow Ventures
A limited, small-group conference room gathering for eight to 10 attendees to personally meet VCs that focus on our sector. We will ask them to address capital formation trends, expected returns, challenges of our sector, and the convergence of strategic investors in properties and technology. Innovators should leave with a better idea of the breadth of investors available to talk to about their next company, and strategic investors and advisors should come away with an understanding of possible allies that are funding the types of innovations that are most important to their portfolios.
Key Takeaways:
-
Volume of capital available
-
Favored types of investment for larger investors
-
Synergies between tech investors, family office investors and property investors

Blockchain Applied to Raising Capital
Margaret Rosenfeld, Research Triangle Park-area, Attorney at Law
Stephen Wink, Partner, Latham and Watkins
Blockchain appears as if it will be a foundational technology that provides trust, sharing, compliance, rules enforcement and flexibility. As such, it could have an enormous impact on the ability to unlock manual document processes such as qualifying investors and facilitating the secondary sale of real estate securities. As boring as it sounds, that translates into unlocking billions in value for syndicators of private real estate deals. Blockchain could possibly also facilitate large amounts of small-dollar international investments.
Key Takeaways:
-
Working examples of blockchain in use by the multifamily investment community
-
Forecast of the granular impact of a blockchain investment platform for a syndicator with small funds or individually-capitalized properties
-
Brainstorming of the business that may spring up in response to the technology
Technology Threats to Third-Party Management Companies (and Opportunities to Transform the Business)
Mike Brewer, Executive Vice President, RADCO Residential
A small-group discussion (eight to 12) for those most concerned about future directions for their management platform.

Unattended, self-service leasing may diminish the importance of leasing agents

CRM and customer experience apps that offers more to residents than staff is able

Alternate uses of inventory in dense urban areas
-
Short-stay, lodging and corporate rental management companies
Opportunities:
-
Evolving to include short-stay and corporate rental management
-
Technology integration and project management
-
Revenue management for housing and lodging opportunities
-
Harnessing automation for efficiency
