Posted Tuesday, July 14, 2026 12:30 pm You've shopped with the same retailer for years. So why do their support agents still greet you like a stranger every time you start a conversation? Most of us have been there. The moment you switch from chat to phone, from chatbot to human agent, from one interaction to the next, many businesses lose the thread entirely. As more companies deploy AI in customer service, the stakes have risen.

(BPT) - When homeowners think about indoor comfort, temperature is usually the first consideration. Thermostats are adjusted, or vents are opened or closed. But if you have ever walked into a room that displayed the right temperature but still seemed sticky and stuffy, or a bedroom that just won't cool down, you've experienced the bigger picture of comfort. Indoor comfort is not just about temperature; it is also about humidity, airflow and how evenly a home is cooled or heated.

Posted Monday, June 22, 2026 10:00 am The “hot” and “trendy” cities that consistently generate the most noise often carry enormous premiums built on amenities that residents might only use a small fraction of the time. For rental housing investors, those premiums compress returns before the first tenant even moves in. The smarter play is finding cities where people genuinely want to put down roots and where the housing market hasn’t fully caught up to that reality yet.

Posted Thursday, June 11, 2026 11:30 am Most people think of their home as the place where their money is spent on rent or mortgage payments, maintenance and repairs, insurance, property taxes, etc. Fewer think of it as an income generator. But for a growing number of Americans, their home has become an important source of additional cash flow. You don’t need to buy a rental property, hire a property manager, or become a full-time landlord to generate income from real estate.

Posted Friday, June 5, 2026 11:30 am There was a time when vacation meant sand between your toes, saltwater on your lips and a margarita by the pool. But travel in 2026 is changing. Many tourists are seeking longer, immersive activities that engage all the senses and provide a stronger understanding of place. And since few know their natural environment better than farmers, it’s sensible that agritourism—taking trips to farms or ranches—is trending in 2026.

Posted Wednesday, May 20, 2026 10:00 am Every month, tens of millions of Americans make their biggest payment of the month and get nothing to show for it on their credit report. With a few small exceptions, rent payments are not reported to credit bureaus and are therefore nothing more than a transaction that disappears.

Deciding to rent out a property is an exciting step. Whether you are inheriting property, turning a former home into a source of income, or getting started in real estate investing, becoming a landlord is more straightforward than you might think, even for first-timers who have never managed a property before. You don’t need a property manager to do it well.

Posted Tuesday, April 21, 2026 11:00 am Ask most people outside of a finance department how much they think finance teams use artificial intelligence, and they'll likely underestimate it. That's one of the findings revealed inside the 2026 AI in Finance Report, where about a third of respondents say their team uses AI more than outsiders realize. It makes sense when you consider how AI actually shows up in finance work today. It's not always visible.

When it comes to spring cleaning, even rental properties can benefit from a little polish and shine. But for small rental business owners, a seasonal refresh means more than just sweeping out the dust; it’s a strategic opportunity to protect property value, strengthen tenant relationships, and set the tone for a profitable year ahead. With peak moving season typically kicking off in May, now is the time to get ahead of the curve.
