| The S&P 500 fell 0.30 percent to 7,720.39 on Thursday, ending a three-session winning streak, as Alphabet posted its steepest one-day drop on record after weak search growth and negative free cash flow revived doubts about the payoff from AI spending. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 6 basis points to 4.99 percent, slipping back under the 5 percent line that has anchored fixed-rate take-out pricing, after September PCE inflation came in at 3.6 percent, a tenth below forecasts, and third-quarter GDP grew at a 3.4 percent annual rate. The FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs index jumped 2.20 percent to 825.96, snapping a two-day slide, as investors rotated into rate-sensitive sectors and office REITs gained 2.62 percent. SOFR eased 1 basis point to 3.94 percent on the October 28 trade date, a step back from Tuesday's monthly high. |

Your parking facility already has the spaces, the traffic, and the drivers. EV charging helps you earn more from all three. Win the drivers who’d otherwise park down the street, charge for both parking and charging, and put idle spaces to work overnight. SWTCH handles the hard parts: driver billing, idle-time enforcement, and revenue remittance. Then, integrate charging with your parking payment system, so drivers park, charge, and pay in fewer steps. And with charging-as-a-service, you can start without the upfront cost. Same lot, more revenue.
Perspectives
Access is one of the most basic functions of a multifamily property, yet it remains one of the least connected. The cost of that gap tends to go unmeasured because it arrives in small pieces. Lost fobs, rekeys, and after-hours lockout calls are each manageable on their own, which is a large part of why they rarely register as a real expense.
Across a portfolio, the picture gets harder to see. Properties run different systems, credentials, and vendors, and residents often meet a new process at every gate, garage, and amenity door. Staff end up serving as the fallback system, which pulls time away from the work that matters most to the people living there.
Treating access as an operational system rather than a hardware decision changes the question owners ask. We may see more operators start by quantifying what their current approach costs in labor, avoidable expense, and resident experience before deciding what to change, since that baseline shapes every investment that follows.
