I second cozy.coI’ve been using it these last few tenant cycles and it’s a great tool in many ways.1- if the tenant won’t pony up the $40 fee or take the time to do it, it’s a great indicator for me to who I’m dealing with2- I don’t have to take applications and money and I don’t feel bad for taking an app fee and not giving it to those applicants. 3- no need to collect ssn and to destroy4- Tenants can’t leave anything blank as they can with a paper app5- feels more formal and professional 6- generally the type of potential tenant I like to deal with that can use tech to communicate, which gives me a glimpse to how they’ll handle future complaints and requests.

How do you beat out professional investors?

But I’m willing to wager that with the same amount of effort and cash, you will be able to leverage the experience of professionals, to build something of your own that perfectly fits your financial goals, limits risk to you and your family, and is repeatable if you somehow lost it all just because you chose the “hard” route.
