Best rent portals these days??

Question

Hello,

I picked up my first rental and have a tenant moving in soon.  Curious to know what portals investors are using today for rent and maintenance requests.  I will be self-managing.

Innago works well for me for a few properties.  Everything from marketing via Zillow, Realtor to leases digitally signed, to rent collection to my bank account, works without much training or help needed.

@Peter Vercellin Innago works well too

Dave Charron · Answer

we also use Innago for 25 units.  works well for us so there has been no reason to look elsewhere

@Peter Vercellin I'd recommend using Shuk. It's a platform focused on landlords who self-manage and is low cost (only $5/month per unit). Some cool benefits include their Lease Indiciation Tool (helps predict the likelihood of a tenant renewing the lease giving you the chance to renew early and/or increase monthly rent if you know someone wants to renew), Expense Tracking, Tenant Communication (via their app), Maintenance Requests, Tenant Payments, and more. It's been awesome and the founder of the company has helped me when I've had questions on things regarding the platform. Go check it out!

@Peter Vercellin we (Innago) try to be active here on BP. Happy to answer any questions you have if you're seriously considering Innago. Feel free to drop them here or dm me. Whichever is easiest.

The best response from potential tenants will be through Zillow and they will push it out to their affiliate sites as well which is helpful and also run credit reports free to the landlord. For management, I have liked rent redi but hear great things about turbo tenant.

Congrats on your first rental, Peter—that’s a big step!

I’m self-managing too and have been using Baselane for rent collection and tracking. It’s made things really simple—tenants can pay online, set up autopay, and I get notifications when payments come through. You can also keep all your property financials organized in the same place, which is super helpful.

They’re starting to roll out more features around maintenance requests too, so it’s nice to have everything under one roof as you grow. Definitely worth checking out if you want something built for landlords that keeps things streamlined.

Second this!

Sam Horton · Answer

@Peter Vercellin In my opinion, it depends on your unit count. I used Turbotenant when I started out as well. It was simple enough to use and handled what I needed it to. Now, I self-manage and manage other properties and use Buildium.

When I started in 2019 and from 2019 to 2022 I tested out a bunch and mostly happy with and currently on Turbotenant. I’ve tested out the one they promoted at BP here and it’s not as user friendly plus they have more fees.
