GI351: How Zero-Deposit Leasing Is Changing Multifamily With Andrew Bowen

Why investors are killing security deposits and what’s replacing them in multifamily real estate. In this episode, Andrew Bowen breaks down how zero-deposit leasing is changing NOI, reducing bad debt, and reshaping leasing strategy across the industry. Security deposits have quietly collapsed over the last decade but most investors don’t realize the hidden risk this creates.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why traditional security deposits are becoming obsolete

• The difference between physical occupancy vs economic occupancy

• How bad debt is quietly eating into multifamily returns

• How zero-deposit leasing works (and why operators are adopting it)

• The role of lease insurance in protecting owners

• How fraud, skips, and poor screening impact NOI

• Why better operations — not just higher rent — drives real value

If you’re investing in multifamily or analyzing deals, this episode will change how you think about risk, leasing, and long-term returns.
