MRI Software integrates Nova Credit Income Navigator
0
The AI-powered document fraud detection capability offers further protections for multifamily businesses to efficiently safeguard their properties and communities against rental fraud.
"Our collaboration with Nova Credit to enhance automated income verification within MRI's multifamily fraud solution empowers leasing offices to approve qualified applicants more quickly and confidently, while strengthening protection against fraud," said Ben Berk, VP of North America Residential Solutions at MRI Software. "By streamlining the verification process and reducing reliance on manual documentation, we're helping property managers deliver a faster, more frictionless leasing experience without compromising on security or compliance."
The growing use of generative AI to create fraudulent documents, such as paystubs and bank statements, is projected to result in fraud losses of $40 billion by 2027, according to Deloitte. An NMHC survey reported that 80% of apartment owners, developers and managers saw applicants misrepresent information on rental applications.
To date, MRI's multifamily fraud prevention solution has saved clients an average of $1 million per year and prevented $1.8 billion in bad debt for multifamily operators since 2017.
Nova Credit's platform uses multiple AI technologies to prevent fraud. Documents are analyzed at the metadata level to detect tampering and manipulation, assessing them against more than 700 fraud indicators. Machine learning models categorize transaction streams into easily digestible income snapshots.
With the integration of Nova Credit Income Navigator, MRI can verify income for nearly 100% of applicants. The fraud prevention solution uses a combination of technology and human oversight to ensure accurate, timely applicant screening during the leasing process. AI-powered income verification typically produces immediate results, but in the event of exceptions where technology is unable to verify the uploaded documents, a human review takes place to conclusively validate or reject the documents -- without involving the property manager or requiring additional information from the applicant.
The AI-driven, human-supported approach offers several benefits, including:
• Reduces the time it takes to upload and review paystubs by 90%
• Provides a quick and flexible applicant experience with built-in AI fraud detection for documents
• Ensures all formats of paystubs or other documents can be validated and accepted
"Our collaboration with MRI Software creates a powerful defense against application fraud, while ensuring property managers can quickly verify income for any qualified applicant," said Akaash Gupta, Head of Tenant Screening Partnerships at Nova Credit.

MAGA billionaire announces he's backing new school in four states with VERY apt name
Billionaire Bill Ackman is continuing his charge to change education in America as he's backing new, AI-assisted 'Alpha Schools' in four states. While much of Ackman's activism has been aimed at rooting DEI and ' woke ideology' out of the Ivy League schools that helped make him, Alpha Schools are aimed at K-12 education. Alpha Schools already exist in Texas, Florida and California and are coming to four states this fall, including a Manhattan campus, heading to Ackman's backyard, where he will become an ambassador. The schools use artificial intelligence and teachers are known as 'guides' - many of whom don't have traditional teaching backgrounds - who help 'speed-teach' two hour lessons to students. They claim that the two-hour, AI-software backed lessons teach students twice as much than a traditional school. Children are still kept active in the afternoons with 5-mile bikerides and AI-generated plans that allow children to explore personal hobbies and teaching practical skills like entrepreneurship, public speaking and financial literacy, according to WSJ. Ackman, whom some have hailed as the new Warren Buffett, hailed the program on social media: 'The first truly breakthrough innovation in K-12 education that I have seen since the Kipp Academy.' 'The bottom line: Alpha kids love school and have incredible outcomes.' While much of Ackman's activism has been aimed at rooting DEI and ' woke ideology' out of the Ivy League schools that helped make him, Alpha Schools are aimed at K-12 education Co-founder Mackenzie Price noted that social issues and politics are not allowed in her classrooms. 'We do not let anything - political, social issues - come in the way. We stay very much out of that,' she said. The schools are charging 'founding families' anywhere from $45,000 to $60,000 a year for tuition. Unsurprisingly, liberal teachers union head Randi Weingarten is not a fan of Price's ideas. 'Students and our country need to be in relationship with other human beings. When you have a school that is strictly A.I., it is violating that core precept of the human endeavor and of education,' she told The New York Times. Ackman has long been at odds with Harvard, criticizing the university for not doing enough to protect students from antisemitism. Early last year he launched an unsuccessful bid to get four candidates on the ballot for a governing board. The financier runs New York-based hedge fund firm Pershing Square Capital Management and has been a vocal supporter of Trump's policies on tariffs and spending. Harvard is 'a collection of buildings, nice real estate' located in Cambridge, Massachusetts next to the Charles River, he said. But its cutting-edge faculty, researchers and students could easily move elsewhere, he said. 'This is the best time in history to start a university.' He also again hit out at the school's governing board, saying it has become insular and that there is no mechanism to remove members the way there is in corporate America where investors can run board challenges.

Elon Musk must face lawsuit claiming he ran illegal $1 million election lottery
Aug 20 (Reuters) - Elon Musk was ordered on Wednesday by a federal judge to face a lawsuit by voters accusing the world's richest person of defrauding them into signing a petition to support the U.S. Constitution for a chance to win his $1 million-a-day giveaway. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Texas said Jacqueline McAferty plausibly alleged in her proposed class action that Musk and his political action committee America PAC wrongly induced her to provide personal identifying information as part of the giveaway, late in the 2024 election campaign. Lawyers for Musk and America PAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Musk founded America PAC to support Republican Donald Trump's successful 2024 presidential run. McAferty, an Arizona resident, said Musk and America PAC induced voters in seven battleground states to sign his petition by promising that $1 million recipients would be chosen randomly, as in a lottery, though the voters had no real chance to collect. She said voters who signed were also required to provide names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers. In seeking a dismissal, Musk listed several "red flags" as proof he had not run an illegal lottery. He said these included statements that the $1 million recipients were "selected to earn" the money and expected to become America PAC spokespeople, defeating the idea that the payment was a "prize." But the judge cited other statements suggesting the defendants were "awarding" the $1 million, and the money could be "won." "It is plausible that plaintiff justifiably relied on those statements to believe that defendants were objectively offering her the chance to enter a random lottery--even if that is not what they subjectively intended to do," Pitman wrote. The judge was appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama in 2014. Musk had also rejected the suggestion that petition signers suffered harm by providing contact information. Pitman said an expert in political data brokerage could testify what that information was worth for voters in battleground states. The lawsuit was filed on Election Day, Nov. 5, 2024. A day earlier, a Philadelphia judge refused to end Musk's giveaway, saying that city's top prosecutor failed to show it was an illegal lottery. Musk is a Texas resident, and his electric car company Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab is based in Austin. The case is McAferty v Musk et al, U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas, No. 24-01346.

Costco just made a major change to its food court drinks
Costco has finalized its transition from selling Pepsi products to exclusively Coca-Cola products in its food courts nationwide. The change has generated a mixed reaction among customers, with some expressing disappointment over the loss of Pepsi and others welcoming the return of Coca-Cola. Costco had previously offered Coca-Cola before switching to Pepsi products in 2013, a move reportedly made to maintain the $1.50 price of its popular hot dog combo. The wholesaler's CEO, Ron Vachris, confirmed in January that the company would be converting its food court fountain business back to Coca-Cola. The shift has been noted as triggering a strong customer reaction, reflecting the cultural significance and personal attachment many have to either the Coca-Cola or Pepsi brand.
