Managing properties takes technology to track rents, pay invoices, distribute funds to our owners, manage leasing, etc. Without good systems in place, it is easy to make mistakes and miss things. With our background in technology, we appreciate good systems. We have spent years finding the best-of-breed tools to efficiently run our company. Here is a quick snapshot of some of the systems that we use to manage your properties:
Our primary property management software platform is Appfolio. It manages all accounting including: tenant and owner ledgers, vendor billing, lease management and all reporting.
Appfolio also provides both owner and tenant portals for quick access for the tenant to pay rent and the owner to review reports. All leases and other documents are stored in their respective portal for easy access:
Rental Management Guys uses Appfolio as our maintenance management system. All calls are answered by a 7×24 call center in South Carolina. Those calls are input into Appfolio and are automatically assigned a tech or vendor. Our owners receive alerts at the same time we do about any maintenance requests on their properties so they can monitor activity.
Leasing on a small scale (1-5) properties can be managed using a spreadsheet or even on paper. Managing the scheduling of many more showings and properties can quickly become overwhelming. Rental Management Guys has been using ShowMojo for many years to schedule and post our available properties. You can see our available properties here.
As the old saying goes, you can’t manage what you can’t measure. These tools allow us to keep a pulse on our business and your properties.
