RentRedi, TenantCloud, Hemlane or Innago

[Darvin Johnson]

Hi Bigger Pockets Family

I was wondering has anyone used RentRedi, Innago, Hemlane or TenantCloud? I know that with only a few properties I could handle things without the software but I'd rather start using it now and continue as I grow.

Darvin, people could rave all day long about one particular software but that doesn't mean it will work well for you. My recommendation is that you find a software that works well for YOU. Write down the problems you want software to solve. Then find 3-4 systems you think will work for you. Get test accounts in each one and start running them through the wringer. Enter a property. Market the property. Submit an application as if you were a renter. Move yourself in. Enter charges and receive rent. Submit a maintenance request and track it to completion. Run a monthly owner statement.

When you complete a step with one software, repeat that same step with the others. This should quickly identify which software is easiest for you to use and that does the job well enough. Decide on a product and stick with it for a year to really learn it well.
