If you’re investing in multifamily assets, disconnected data could be an obstacle to improving investment operations and performance. Many teams are still relying on siloed systems, Excel exports, and manual processes to manage leasing, budgeting, and reporting. This approach slows decision-making, limits visibility, and reduces your ability to act on real-time performance trends.
What is disconnected data in multifamily asset management?
In commercial real estate – especially multifamily investment operations – disconnected data refers to information trapped in separate systems such as:
- Yardi, MRI, or RealPage for property management
- Excel spreadsheets for rent rolls, budgets, or forecasts
- Email threads for construction updates and capex tracking
- Manual presentations for LP and investor reporting
When these systems don’t talk to each other, teams waste valuable time consolidating and cleaning data, only to end up with outdated or incomplete information.
How disconnected data impacts asset performance
Disconnected data creates serious issues across the real estate asset lifecycle:
Lease-up phase:
You need accurate, up-to-date lease trade-out data to track absorption rates, rent premiums, and progress toward pro forma assumptions. If that data lives in spreadsheets or property management software you can’t easily access, you’re flying blind.
Operational phase:
During hold, asset managers must track leasing activity, rent growth, expense variance, and capital projects. Without a centralized platform, it’s difficult to monitor these metrics across multiple properties and spot early signs of underperformance.
Reporting phase:
LPs expect timely, detailed performance reports. If you’re pulling data from multiple sources every quarter, you’re risking errors, delays, and missed insights that could affect investor trust.
Disconnected data doesn’t just slow operations. It directly hinders your ability to improve returns and manage risk.
Why Excel can’t scale in modern multifamily asset management
Modern real estate asset management software is purpose-built to solve these data challenges. Platforms like Pereview integrate data from leasing, financials, budgeting, construction, and investor reporting into one system, giving you a complete, real-time view of your multifamily portfolio.
With a platform like Pereview, you can:
- Automate lease trade-out analysis and track rent deltas by unit
- Monitor budget vs. actuals in real time
- Oversee lease-up progress and capital project timelines
- Deliver transparent, investor-ready reports to LPs
- Eliminate spreadsheet dependency and reduce reporting time
This connected approach is essential for any firm looking to modernize its commercial real estate operations and improve overall portfolio performance.
Real estate asset management needs a unified platform
Most multifamily firms have more than enough data – they just don’t have it in one place.
Disconnected systems lead to slower decisions, reactive management, and missed benchmarks. Unifying that data empowers asset managers to:
- Make proactive decisions
- Hold property managers accountable
- Increase NOI and overall asset value
- Build trust with LPs through accurate, on-demand reporting
