In this Strategy Saturday episode, Charles Carillo breaks down the 5-step value add multifamily process used to increase apartment NOI and transform underperforming apartment complexes into higher-value assets.
Value add apartment investing is not just about renovating units and raising rents. True value is created by improving operations, fixing deferred maintenance, stabilizing tenant relationships, and executing renovations in the right sequence. In this video, Charles explains how professional multifamily investors execute a value add apartment business plan after a property goes under contract.
You’ll learn how to:
• Identify property issues before closing
• Prioritize deferred maintenance and curb appeal before rent increases
• Build tenant goodwill during renovations
• Renovate units strategically to maximize rent growth
• Optimize multifamily operations using KPIs like occupancy, income, and turnover
This episode is designed for multifamily real estate investors, apartment syndicators, and operators who want to understand how to increase apartment NOI without raising rents too early.

Luke breaks down common mistakes investors make, including unrealistic pro formas, payroll misrepresentation, and involving property managers too late in the acquisition process. He also shares practical guidance on property management due diligence, staffing and culture, and how to choose the right third-party property manager.

Why are millennials and Gen Z choosing rent over homeownership—and why is this shift reshaping the U.S. housing market?
For decades, owning a home was considered the American Dream. Today, that narrative is changing. Younger generations are delaying or completely bypassing homeownership, not because they’ve failed—but because the math, lifestyle, and priorities have changed.
In this Strategy Saturday episode, we break down the demographic trends driving apartment demand and explain why renting is becoming a long-term choice rather than a temporary phase. This isn’t a short-term housing cycle. It’s a structural shift that real estate investors need to understand.
We explore how:
Millennials in their 30s and 40s are delaying homeownership
Gen Z is entering the workforce as renters by default
Rising home prices and mortgage rates are extending renter tenure
Lifestyle flexibility and career mobility favor renting over owning
Baby boomers are downsizing into apartments and senior-friendly communities
Household formation trends are increasing multifamily demand
Renting is often more efficient than owning when you factor in hidden costs
You’ll also learn why the idea that “buying is always better than renting” ignores maintenance, repairs, time, and opportunity cost—and why many high-income households are now renters by choice.
For investors, this episode explains why apartment demand will stay strong, why multifamily demand is being driven by demographics rather than speculation, and how the apartment market is being redefined from both ends of the age spectrum.
If you’re trying to understand the future of apartment renting in the United States, this episode provides the framework.

What is RUBS in real estate, and how does the Ratio Utility Billing System actually work in multifamily properties? In this video, we break down RUBS utilities explained in simple terms and show how landlords split utilities when a property is not submetered. If you invest in rental property utilities, multifamily property management, or real estate operating expenses, understanding RUBS is essential.
RUBS is a utility billing method that allocates water and sewer costs across tenants using factors such as number of occupants, square footage, bedrooms, or bathrooms. We explain why many older multifamily properties use RUBS, how landlords calculate tenant charges, and why submetering vs RUBS has become a major decision point for owners.
You’ll also learn why RUBS is often viewed as a rent increase, the challenges of fair allocation, and how water rate changes impact flat-fee billing. This episode is a complete landlord guide to utility billing systems, including when to implement RUBS, when to consider submetering installation for apartments, and how to reduce utility costs in multifamily buildings.
If you're looking for the best way to bill tenants for water and sewer or want clarity on how landlords split utilities, this walkthrough will help you make a confident and informed decision.
