Best Tools for Self-Managing Rentals

[Kyle Thomas]

Hey BP,

For those of you self-managing your rentals, what tools or systems have made your life easier? I’m looking for recommendations on:

1. Rent Collection – Any favorite platforms for automated payments and tracking?
2. Financial Tracking – What do you use to track income, expenses, and overall profitability?
3. Tenant Management & Communication – Any software that helps streamline guest stays, maintenance requests, and lease agreements?
4. Marketing & Bookings – What’s working best for listing and filling midterm rental vacancies?

I’d love to hear from investors—especially those managing midterm rentals—about what’s worked (or hasn’t) for them. What’s your tech stack for staying organized and profitable?

Looking forward to your insights!
