Leveraging AI and Technology to Drive Operational Efficiency in Value-Add Multifamily Real Estate

Date: April 7, 2025 | by Sentinel Peak Capital Partners

As asset management continues to evolve in complexity, the ability to scale operations efficiently and accurately has become a critical driver of long-term performance.

At Sentinel Peak Capital Partners, we remain focused on adopting innovative tools that enhance our ability to deliver meaningful results for investors.

Through our property management company, Summit Property Management, we are deploying AI-powered platforms—such as RealPage—to streamline operations, reduce costs, and strengthen cash flow across our portfolio. One particularly impactful area is the automation of financial workflows, where AI-driven invoicing is improving both speed and accuracy in a traditionally manual process.

Our President, Char McCurdy, and Chief Accounting Officer, Leslie Loyd Malaise, recently joined RealPage’s Scaling with Technology webcast to share how these tools are reshaping the operational landscape in multifamily real estate.

The Role of Technology in Value-Add Real Estate

In the value-add segment, operational efficiency is a cornerstone of investment performance. As portfolios grow, so too does the complexity of property operations—making technology a key lever for maintaining profitability and scale. Increasingly, AI-powered solutions are being integrated into property management systems to automate routine tasks, improve financial precision, and enhance asset performance.

At Sentinel Peak, we recognize that technology is not just a convenience—it’s a strategic advantage. Through Summit Property Management, we’re leveraging AI-driven tools like RealPage to streamline operations, reduce costs, and ensure each property in our portfolio operates as efficiently as possible. These improvements ultimately translate to stronger outcomes for our investment partners.

How AI-Powered Invoicing Drives Efficiency in Property Management

One area where AI is making a tangible impact is invoicing, a traditionally manual and time-consuming process. Inaccuracies, delays, and high administrative costs can create inefficiencies that affect both cash flow and operational effectiveness.

Summit Property Management utilizes RealPage’s AI-powered invoicing system to automate invoice processing, reduce errors, and enhance financial transparency across our portfolio. By eliminating manual oversight, AI-driven invoicing accelerates payment processing and improves cash flow predictability. These efficiencies contribute to more stable financial performance, giving investors confidence that our portfolios remain well-managed and operationally sound.

Enhancing Scalability and Cost Control

As multifamily portfolios grow, managing operations across multiple assets becomes increasingly complex, but adopting AI-powered solutions has allowed us to maintain operational efficiency and scalability as our portfolio expands. AI helps us reduce manual oversight, ensuring accuracy and consistency while automating time-consuming processes.

By streamlining routine tasks, AI enables our property management team to focus on higher-level strategies that support portfolio growth, such as improving tenant satisfaction, optimizing property performance, and controlling costs. This technological integration allows us to scale our portfolio while maintaining high levels of performance and profitability.

Conclusion

In today’s competitive multifamily landscape, operational efficiency and cost control are essential to generating lasting value. AI-driven platforms offer a clear advantage, allowing property managers to improve accuracy, scalability, and financial performance across the board.
