Common questions
Multifamily ROI FAQs
How accurate is the multifamily ROI calculator?
The calculator uses industry benchmarks from NAA and NMHC surveys, plus aggregated data from Frontdesk customers running on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan. It is a directional estimate — actual results depend on your specific lead mix, after-hours volume, and renewal cadence.
What does Frontdesk cost for a multifamily portfolio?
Frontdesk starts at $297/month per property and scales by call volume. Multi-property portfolios get volume pricing — talk to sales for portfolios over 10 properties. Setup is included; there is no implementation fee.
Which PMS systems does Frontdesk integrate with?
Frontdesk integrates with Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and MRI Software. Integrations include availability lookup, work-order creation, lead push, and bidirectional guest-card sync.
Can AI really handle 70% of leasing calls?
For top-of-funnel calls — availability, pricing, tour booking, FAQ — most operators see 65–80% AI deflection within 60 days of launch. Complex calls (rent negotiation, hardship, accessibility) are handed off to a human leasing rep with full context.
What about HUD / fair housing compliance?
Frontdesk is configured to follow Fair Housing guidance: never discusses protected classes, never makes statements about neighborhoods or demographics, and routes any potentially-sensitive question to a trained leasing rep. Conversation logs are retained for audit.
