Rentredi / Baselane… where to start?

[Leslie Cloots]

Hi all, looking to rent out my first property, a 1BR condo. Having scalability in mind I'd like to do the heavy lifting now researching and trying different platforms for property mgmt processes... where do you recommend I begin? Are the promoted and built in platforms with BP pro worth it? I've read that Baselane continues to add features such as leases and screens. Would I still want to use Rentredi for listings/marketing, communication, and maintenance requests? Is there another app that does it all? Seems confusing from the tenant side to have to use 2 apps. Thank you very much for any insight

Hi Leslie, congrats on your first rental! For one unit, it might make sense to keep things simple. Listings still usually need to go on Zillow or similar platforms, so using Rentredi just for that is fine, but tenant communication and maintenance requests for a single unit might not need a full app yet.

Where Baselane really stands out is on the financial side—banking, bookkeeping, and rent collection. Collecting rent through Baselane Banking is seamless for you and $0 for the tenant, which they’ll likely appreciate. Even if you use another platform for listings, having Baselane manage the money side gives you a strong foundation as you scale.
