NARPM's Next Chapter: Money, Politics, and AI with Tracy Streich | Peter Lohmann's Podcast

Chew on this: Property managers estimated 36% of their clients would switch to self-management if AI made it easier. Owners said 79% would ditch their PM if AI made it easier. Tracy Streich previewed those stats as part of the new AppFolio/NARPM research. Tracy owns Renters Place in Tulsa, serves as NARPM's treasurer, and is president-elect for 2027, so we spent most of the hour on what's changing inside NARPM. 01:09 - Welcoming Tracy back to the show 02:37 - The state of NARPM 07:18 - NARPM National’s venue next year 08:02 - Working with MCI 10:43 - NARPM’s financial status 14:04 - Is NARPM a non-profit? 14:49 - Season 7 Presenting Partner - AppFolio https://www.appfolio.com/performance-... 16:00 - What should NARPM do with all this cash? 20:50 - Overturning laws and case laws 29:07 - Tracy on his management company 35:26 - Sponsor - Haven AI https://www.usehaven.ai/peter-lohmann 36:54 - AI 40:26 - Tracy’s plans as the incoming NARPM President 45:26 - What should NARPM do to grow? 53:31 - NARPM’s Political Advocacy Work 01:01:35 - Closing thoughts We get into the move from OMG to MCI after roughly 20 years, the Executive Director search (I'm on the task force), a Home Depot program that paid NARPM just under $300K last quarter, and what NARPM's lobbying actually costs. Then I get on my soapbox. NARPM has millions in the bank, and I think some of it should fund legal fights against unconstitutional local landlord laws. Tracy's reply: send the board a proposal.
