Hello BP community. I am new to the Landlord realm. I'm ready to rent out to tenants. What is the best software to use? I've narrowed it down to BP's Rent Redi or Tennant Cloud. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

@Lou Burnett 

If you are just starting out & have one or two rentals. I'd just recommend utilizing a free software like apartments.com (rent collection is free). This is a great place for just starting out & I am sure there are others too. With Apts.com I think they have most general forms if you don't have any from lease, to application, to others. You can take applications, screen, take maintenance requests & market/advertise on there.

You can also utilize marketing/advertising on Facebook Marketplace, Zillow (which they also have a ton of the same features as Apts.com), etc. Most will syndicate to other websites for marketing. 

With Tenant Cloud, I know it can be a little pricey just starting off & unsure on the price for BP's. You should try to actively keep costs as minimal as possible when first starting off, unless it is an absolute necessity. You can always do trial periods on some, grow, then when need be scale & try new systems as well. I know a decent amount of people who use Tenant Cloud & like it, but has it's own things they need to internally update on like most others.
