Rentalutions Landlord Software Overview - YouTube

Hi, I’m Ryan, the co-founder and CEO of Rentalutions. More than 20,000 landlords from

across the United States use our platform to manage single family homes, condo units

and apartment buildings. I am going to show you the five key features inside our end-to-end

platform that will help you save time and money as you manage your rental units. Our

main features are built around the typical landlord journey. In this video, we’ll touch

on adding a unit to your account, creating a listing, screening applicants, creating

a lease, charging rent and managing property maintenance. To get started, a landlord will

sign up for an account on our website. It’s as simple as selecting a landlord account,

typing your name, email address and selecting a password. After creating an account, the

first thing you’ll want to do is add your first rental unit. Just start typing your

address, and select it from the dropdown. If there’s a unit number, you can type that

in here. Don’t worry, you can add more units later. But let’s focus on this one for now.

Once you’ve added a unit, you're given access to our five main tools, which will help you

keep track of your property and the people living in it. If you're just getting started

as a landlord, you’ll probably need to list your property right away to begin finding

tenants. Creating a rental listing with Rentalutions is simple and the average listing created

with us gets 16 leads! It takes just a few minutes to get your listing published. We’ll

ask you a few questions about your unit and create a beautiful rental listing for your

property. We then take this listing and we post it on all of the popular websites that

tenants are searching for available properties, like Zillow, Trulia, Padmapper, Hotpads, Apartments.com

and more. You’ll receive notifications and be able to track all of the leads you receive

right in your account. Once you get all of these people interested in your property,

you want to make sure you choose the renters who will pay rent on time and who will take care

of your property. To do this, we give you access to professional-grade tools to thoroughly

screen all tenants, including online rental applications and credit and background checks

provided by TransUnion. To request a rental application, simply add in the name and email

address for the person you want to screen. We’ll send the tenant an email with a personalized

link and instructions to apply. In under 5 minutes, the tenant can complete a rental

application and authorize a credit check. You can easily keep track of their progress

right in your account, and see the finished application and their credit and background check

results instantly. You’ll be notified when everything is available to review. All the

information you need at your fingertips. After selecting the tenants for your property, you’ll

want to create a lease agreement. We have built a lease template for each state. Our

step-by-step wizard will guide you through creating a lease agreement that is specifically

tailored for your unit. Our lease templates have been reviewed by real-estate attorneys,

and will save you countless hours of printing, scanning and faxing lease paperwork back and

forth. After signing the lease electronically, you’ll want to be sure to set up your property

for online rent payments. Collecting rent electronically is convenient and secure for

both you and for your tenants. Your tenants can log in to their accounts each month to

make one-time payments for rent, security deposits and other fees. They can also choose

to set up automatic payments that will occur every month. The best part? Your tenants have

the choice of paying with a checking account, debit card or credit card. This is the best

way to ensure you receive your rent payments on time every month. Finally, we give you

and your tenants an easy way to communicate about maintenance issues. Whenever issues

pop up, your tenants can create maintenance tickets through their Rentalutions accounts.

You’ll be notified electronically and can track the status, keep notes and attach repair

expenses to these maintenance tickets. By bringing together all of the pieces that you

need to manage your properties in one place, we help you save hours per month on

things you would otherwise do manually. With the ability to scale up by adding additional

units, you can stay with us as your business grows. If you have any questions, or want

to know more about getting set up, please send us an email to [email protected].

We can’t wait to hear from you.
