01 Apr Essential Tech Tools For Landlords In 2021
The internet has made it easier than ever before for landlords to market their properties and grow their businesses, but the big question is which tech tools should a landlord use?
Technology definitely will make a landlord’s life easier but it’s sometimes difficult for landlords to separate good tech tools from those that will simply waste a landlord’s time.
This is why, in this article, we will share with you our essential tech tools for landlords that you should be using in 2021 and beyond.
Online Rent Collection
It doesn’t matter if you’ve owned rental properties for 5 years, or 25 years, if you’re not collecting rent on time from your tenants, your business is going to struggle.
Thankfully, there are a variety of easy-to-use online tech tools that you can use for rent collection including Buildium, Rentec Direct, and Zego.
With these platforms, your tenants will have access to portals where they can pay their rent via checking account, debit, or credit card and they can also send maintenance requests to you as well.
Online Rental Applications
Besides being able to collect rent from your tenants online, another important thing is being able to accept rental applications from prospective tenants over the internet as well.
Some of the online rent application tools that you should be using include Turbo Tenant, eForms.com, DocuSign, Avail. co and ezlandlordforms.com.
Before choosing just any generic rental application to send to your tenants, make sure that the form is customizable so that you can tailor it to your own specific needs.
Online Tools For Contactless Showings
Last of all, but most important, since the start of Covid-19, contactless showings have been becoming more popular with tenants across the United States because tenants can tour properties at their own pace.
If you’re not currently using an online tool to arrange contactless showings of your rental properties, one of the best online tools that you should consider using that will enable your tenants to self-tour your properties is Rently.com.
