But my experience tells a different story.In this episode of Multifamily Collective, I unpack the clash between lenders' comfort zones and the momentum behind operational redesign—yes, I said redesign, not centralization. Because centralization sounds like a command post, and that’s not what this is about. This is about evolving the structure of our teams, tech, and talent to meet modern demands.I take you behind the scenes of a real-world example where we built out 8,000+ units with shared services—and not once did a lender blink. Why? Because asset managers and operators were aligned in the mission to drive efficiency.But now I want to hear from you. Are lenders pushing back in your world?Let’s keep the conversation going.👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments.👍 Like if you found value here.📌 Subscribe so you never miss a beat from Multifamily Collective.
