A few weeks on, the themes from our Bisnow panel haven’t aged: AI-generated documents in applications, the 60-minute window that decides a lease, and why the application experience is part of the product.

Missing one payment and never catching up are two very different renters.
@stlc1776 on what the 1 in 5 headline leaves out.
@stlc1776 on what the 1 in 5 headline leaves out.
.@YahooNews' recent article: 1 in 5 renters missed a full rent payment last year.
The number I’d want: how many caught up? The article doesn’t say.
And the renters you turned away never show up in your delinquency data at all.

Three headlines this week:
- 1 in 5 renters couldn’t pay rent on time last year
- Rental demand is up 20%
- Multifamily is worse than the GFC
Put together, they don’t add up. I went through each one against what we see in the Findigs data. Full episode up on YouTube now.

We analyzed 3M rental applications. Renters with a co-applicant were 3x as likely to submit.
Solo renters account for almost every application that never gets submitted, and most stop earlier than you’d guess.

Our first State of Decisioning report is out.
Every application that comes through Findigs tells us three things: who applied, what happened to the application, and how the lease performed after move-in. Put together, we have a unique vantage point on the rental market, and it.
Two numbers stood out to me: how long applicants will wait for a decision, and when they actually apply. I get into both in the video.
More to come. Full report here: findigs.com/report

The move-in experience starts at the application, long before the lease. What a renter remembers is how fast someone replied.
At our Bisnow panel, Galina Shirshova of RPM Living: a fast application experience is part of the product.

Renters don’t apply on your schedule, and they don’t wait on it either.
The Q3 2026 State of Decisioning report puts numbers on both. Also inside: approval by credit band, credit floors, fraud signals and what happens after move-in.

Buying costs are climbing faster than rent, and more would-be buyers are leasing instead.
@inman covered it with data from our Q3 State of Decisioning report: 55% of applications on our network were completed outside weekday business hours.

Every day, thousands of rental applications run through Findigs. That gives us a unique vantage point into the rental market.
We’ll be sharing what we’ve learned soon...

SF has a housing supply problem.
It delivered 35,000 new units in 10 years. Austin issued 10x the housing permits per capita, per Pew.
SF’s answer so far is a rent emergency and a proposed 10% cap on increases. A cap won’t fix a supply problem. Building more houses will.

A renter has messaged ten communities in ten minutes. They’re waiting to see who answers first.
At our Bisnow panel, Peter Ruddy of Ruddy Management: miss the first 60 minutes and your odds of converting that lead drop almost 85%.

The documents in a rental application don't prove what they used to.
At our Bisnow panel, Jeff Weinberg of Drexel Properties: pay stubs, IDs, even credit reports can be AI-generated and look real.
You can't catch this by eye anymore. Watch the replay: findigs.com/webinars/reima…

Rent is high everywhere. The part nobody questions is how you qualify for it.
Most of the US asks for 3x gross income, a ratio no one can source. Rent comes out of take-home pay. Measure that and a $1,500 apartment needs about $43k a year, not $55k.

Our CEO has plenty of opinions on rental housing. Now he's sharing them on camera.
Second Opinion with @stlc1776 : trends we see from where we sit.

My favorite Charlie Munger line: "If you show me an incentive, I'll show you the outcome."
That's the lens for Second Opinion, where I'll dig into the incentives and trends shaping rental housing.
Some takes are gut calls. Most come from the plethora of data we have at @findigs.

1 in 5 renter households paid rent late or missed a payment in 2025. Up from 16.5% in 2024, the highest since the Urban Institute began tracking in 2017.
Filling a unit is the easy part. Whether they pay is the half that decides your revenue.
