It gives a comprehensive report of credit, any record, employment history, etc and gives a good "on paper" look of potential tenants.
Scott Esmail Best way to track tenant renters insurance at scale? (AppFolio)
5 February 2026 | 6 replies
Sort of off topic but related in my opinion - for those allowing pets I suggest making your renters insurance requirement also say something along the lines of requiring coverage from a carrier that does not have a dog bite or dog breed exclusion.

Theresa Holl Guesty finally did it
2 February 2026 | 10 replies
Here's the breakdown of my basic observations after ~2 weeks on each solution: Guesty Lite: - $39/listing/month (unclear if this includes standard 1% commission)- Superior iOS app (faster, locally cached, better organized)- Cleaner guest portal- Targeted to smaller portfolios (1-3) vs Pro (4+) - Clean HUD/dashboard for checkins/reservations- Excellent message automation that links automations in a templated flowchart design (best I've seen)- Awful analytics, similar to GfH (upsell to Guesty Pro)- Dynamic pricing, damage protection, lock management, liability, and outsourced communications (unique) all relatively expensive (aligning to Guesty's overall penchant for chasing ever-expanding upsells)Hospitable:- More third party integrations- Comprehensive analytics- Customizable dashboards are nice - Useful in-app/site help tours- iOS app is effectively a responsible website (slow, uncached, voids iOS design rules)- Messaging rule management can feel cluttered (dozen-plus rules to start?)
Joselyn Woodard Dscr loan for rental properties

You asked if you can purchase a rental property through an existing LLC and how that works with financing or using a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans.Yes, you can buy a property using an existing LLC although you may want to have a separate LLC for each property.DSCR loans require you close in a LLC.You can write the offer in your personal name and state in the contingencies that you may transfer ownership into an LLC at closing.DSCR are great loan products but you do have to have the minimum to put down and a decent credit score.Many of our busy investors prefer these loans to a full doc conventional loans.To Your Success!
