Easily Access and Organize your Data, Documents, and Photos

[Billy Linn]

Hi, I'm Billy Linn. My wife and I have 22 rentals that we own and manage. I work as a software developer while my wife manages our rental business full time. 

One of our pain points is both having access to the same data, and agreeing on how to store and organize it. expenses and bills in Google sheets. Leases, documents, and photos on the computer, Google Drive, and on our individual phones. Tenant, vendor, and contractor's contacts in her phone. Tons of info in her head.

When I needed access to data to help her with something it was painful or impossible for me to access it. Looking at existing software for landlords didn't solve our problem. There are great options for listing, payments, and background checks, but not for storing and organizing a wealth of rental data.

So, typical story, software developer that has rentals writes software to help manage them, adding to a sea of property management software.

But this one really helps us and it might help you too. 

Rental data is relational. Putting move in photos in a folder is tricky because the pictures are related to a person, a lease, a unit, a property, a date, etc. You might want to find those photos when you only remember one of those details. That's where this software really shines. 

GovernRent.com has features from databases, spreadsheets, and online drives. It as a simple but very usable interface that allows you to enter and access your data on desktop and mobile. 

It's not perfect and you'll struggle to understand it at first because it's different than anything else out there (we're working on video walkthoughs), but we're right here on BiggerPockets and you can connect with me directly to get help or suggest new features that will help solve your problems.

If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read this! If any of this sounds interesting to you please connect with me / send me a message and I'll help you get started.
