What Multi-Housing News does

Multi-Housing News (MHN) is a B2B digital trade publication serving the multifamily real estate industry in the United States. It publishes daily news, market research, rankings, webinars, podcasts, and an annual MHN Excellence Awards program, with editorial coverage segmented by property type (market rate, luxury, affordable, student, senior, manufactured housing, condo, military, self-storage, and single-family rental) and by 35+ US metropolitan markets across the Northeast, West, Southwest, Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions. The underlying platform is a web-based digital publication with a content management system, supplemented by email newsletters, social media distribution, podcast feeds (MHN Talks, Mission Success), and gated downloadable content such as the 2026 Multifamily Marketing Guide. The publication is owned and operated by Yardi Companies and Affiliates, a diversified real estate software and media conglomerate, which provides integration with adjacent data and property platforms including Yardi Matrix, RentCafe, PropertyShark, and Point2.

Revenue is generated through three streams: advertising (banner ads, sponsored content, promotional placements targeted at real estate companies, property managers, and service providers), recurring subscription and newsletter products delivering curated multifamily news, and webinars/virtual events (such as the 2026 Outlook webinar) featuring industry panels. Customers are vertical professionals spanning multifamily developers, property managers, investors and capital providers, and brokers/service providers; recurring MHN awards and rankings (Top Multifamily Developer, Top 50 Multifamily Property Management Firms, MHN Excellence Awards) function as audience-engagement and lead-generation assets within the broader Yardi ecosystem.

Others

• RentCafe: Yardi-owned apartment search and marketing platform serving the same multifamily operator audience MHN covers; ecosystem/audience overlap rather than direct editorial competition.
