Best Self Managed Propertie Management Platforms

[Ryan Nastase]

I am getting ready to close on my first rental property and am shopping around for the best self-management platform. So far the two I have found that stand out above the crowd are Avail and Cozy.  I really like Avail because it is very well designed and advertises on many websites.  However, I dislike the higher than normal tenant screening fee of $55.  I like Cozy because it has a more moderate priced screening fee and allows for no partial rent payments.  I dislike Cozy because it is harder to navigate than Avail in my opinion.

If you have experience with one of these sites, what is your opinion of it? Also, what is your marketing approach in addition to the limited number of sites these platforms share with (ie Links to Craigslist, MLS, etc)?

Thanks in advance!
