Axel welcomes back Stacey Hampton, founder of Asset NOI Consulting, for a highly tactical conversation focused on improving multifamily operations in today’s challenging environment.

Stacey breaks down how asset managers can move beyond surface-level KPIs and start focusing on the metrics that actually drive performance. She explains how to turn annual budgets into actionable operating plans, how to think strategically about lease expirations throughout the year, and why understanding the true cost of turnover fundamentally changes decision-making.

The conversation also dives deep into renewal strategy, retention timing, workforce housing dynamics, and why optimizing for cash flow, not just rent growth is critical for long-term operators.

This episode is a must-listen for owners, asset managers, and operators who want to tighten operations, protect NOI, and make better data-driven decisions.
