About Laramar

The Laramar Group is a vertically integrated real estate investment company that acquires, develops, and manages multifamily properties across the United States. With headquarters in Chicago and regional operations spanning Denver, Los Angeles, and other major markets, Laramar manages a diverse portfolio of over 20,000 apartment units.

Laramar's portfolio includes both market-rate multifamily communities and affordable housing properties, requiring sophisticated Yardi configurations that can handle varying compliance requirements, rent structures, and reporting needs across different property types and geographic markets.

The Challenge

As Laramar continued to grow through acquisitions and development, their Yardi environment faced increasing complexity. Each new property acquisition or market expansion required rapid onboarding to maintain operational continuity. Key challenges included:

  • Rapid property acquisitions requiring fast Yardi onboarding across multiple markets simultaneously
  • Complex data migrations from various legacy systems and acquired property portfolios
  • Mixed portfolio of market-rate and affordable housing with different compliance and reporting requirements
  • Need for consistent RentCafe configuration and payment processing across all properties
  • Ongoing operational support requirements that exceeded internal IT capacity

Laramar needed a Yardi partner who could scale with their growth, handle complex multi-market implementations, and provide reliable day-to-day support without disrupting operations.
