Zillow Rental Manager and Syndication from another site
I used to use Buildium to manage my rental houses, and then I switched to Tenant Cloud to save money (only have 5 rentals and didn't need to pay $500+ per year). It worked great at first, until Zillow started charging money for syndication. Now, I must manually email Zillow to set up the syndication, wait for a response, and I've lost automation between Zillow and Tenant Cloud. I.e., if someone responds to a Zillow ad, it doesn't go to Tenant Cloud for me to respond, set up a tenant screening, or manage applications. Also, you can't put a listing link within the Zillow ad (they'll scrub it). Has anyone cracked this nut? It's a real Sh*t show now, and very frustrating to manage properties through one portal, but still take advantage of Zillow's vast marketing network. I feel like it's Zillow's way to forces out the smaller companies and further dominate the market. Any way to have a symbiotic relationship between your management software and Zillow's advertising power, or are we destined to have to switch completely to Zillow Rental Manager?
