Cozy vs Zillow for Collecting Rent

[Bryant Bagley]

Real Estate guys & girls - Please let me know what experiences you’ve had in dealing with Cozy or Zillow’s rent collecting service.  Pros and Cons?  Has everything gone smoothly or have some issues popped up that would keep you from recommending one or both of their services?  

Ive come to the point where I have to use property management or some sort of automated system. I am tired of chasing the rent down.  Any and all helpful information will be appreciated!!!  Thanks and have a good one - Bryant

@Bryant Bagley I’ve been using Cozy for over a year now and have not had a single problem. I use Cozy for rent collection and tracking maintenance, and I use Stessa for tracking and analyzing my finances.

Cozy allows you to collect rent and also send bills for things outside of rent. You get emails updating you about payments that are scheduled and when you can expect them to hit your bank account. For $2.99 you can shorten the window for money to deposit, and that will max out at I think $15 or so if you have lots of units.

I haven’t used Cozy for finding tenants, but that’s because we already had a process established when we started using Cozy. We might give it a try at some point.
