I'm really excited to introduce Rent Merchant to the BP community too, but admittedly a little nervous.From posting here, I hope to gain some connections, make meaningful friendships, and most of all, offer value back to the BP community any way that I can.If you have any questions about me or my software, send me a message.

I developed software to extract rental data from the MLS for our specific property profile and target areas.
