Is your pricing software a secret cartel? Priyanshu (Pri) Adathakkar examines the DOJ investigation into RealPage’s YieldStar and the risks of "Black Box" rent-fixing.
In this episode of The CRE Clinic, Chief of Surgery Priyanshu (Pri) Adathakkar performs a high-stakes biopsy on the multifamily housing market’s “Patient Zero”: the RealPage YieldStar Algorithm.
What sits at the intersection of a conspiracy theory and a massive federal investigation? We break down the “Algorithmic Cartel Contagion”—a digital pathogen that allegedly allows competing landlords to coordinate rent hikes and artificially constrict supply. With the Department of Justice and state Attorneys General moving in for “regulatory surgery,” Pri discusses the terminal risks of relying on “Black Box” pricing.
Tune in to learn why your yield management software might be underwriting a lawsuit, and how to re-inoculate your pro forma with manual market vitals through 2026.
