## Resource

June 17, 2026 In this episode of NARPM Radio, host Pete Neubig sits down with Ryan Killian, President of RENU Property Management, to discuss why the industry has entered what he calls the "operator era." Ryan shares lessons learned from scaling some of the largest single-family rental portfolios in the country, including the importance of data-driven decision-making, operational efficiency, centralization, and decision velocity. They explore how property managers can improve performance, reduce operational waste, leverage technology and AI, and build systems that drive profitability in today's market, where rent growth alone is no longer enough.
