Tenant management software

[Benny Weksler]

Hi, rookie guy here. Question about management software. Has anyone used and can advise me on software for managing the properties and tenants? I want to start small but scale up with some speed. I am looking at Hemlane and TenantCloud. Any advice, opinion, or general info is greatly appreciated.

@Benny Weksler yeah I recommend doing a trial for tenant cloud. I think it'd be beneficial for you to just play with it & see how it goes. Can do this before having any tenants sign up. I'll most likely do the same.

I have used apartments.com for 5 years & know many others use it too, then progress to other options like tenant cloud, buildium, etc. when they are ready to progress. I also need to look into rental beast since through my MLS, but Idk if option for eveyone.

Apts.com is free, you are able to advertise on there for free & pay if want. The online payments are free & reports to renters credit. Their online system is good for beginners that don't want to pay. They syndicate leasing across many other popular websites as well. You can upload docs, take in maintenance requests. Their screening reports are ok, but if you are planning on doing the leasing you can probably do additional checks.

I think that Zillow also is starting a new platform for ongoing management as well.

Usually I will advertise leasing on Apartments.com, Zillow, Facebook Marketplace. Then just by doing that, it goes to 10+ other websites.
