About this listen

It’s a classic No Vacancy roundtable with Andrew, Brian, and Chris—kicking off with some off-the-rails podcast and bedtime-story chaos, then getting into what really matters for operators heading into 2026. The guys break down why 2026 looks like a strong year for rent-ups, what’s changing with smart lock technology (and why it’s a big operational win), and how Access is thinking about faster websites, smoother online rentals, and even e-commerce add-ons.

They also dig into what renters are saying online, especially the Reddit threads and why transparency and trust are still the best long-term revenue strategy. Plus: lawn-mowing robots, gravel parking hacks, and an ice maker that refuses to stay quiet.
