Quote from @Chris Lo: Which platforms/websites do landlords use to find the rent rate, how long the rental properties have been on the market, and all the details about other rental properties?

Listing on multiple platforms does affect ranking by platforms but not as much as you think.  

What if something changes with how that platform works?

These platforms include RentRedi, Stessa, Avail, Innago, Apartments.com (formerly Cozy), and TenantCloud.Pretty much every platform mentioned contains the features you are going to need.

I continue to see new platforms promise ease of use, lightning-fast approvals, and streamlined processes.

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

Has anyone bought from the platform?

I know Shopify typically is a more commerce base platform.

Houfy is very inexpensive to list on, and syncs with the other platforms, making it a very quick and cheap way to do direct bookings.

Please check out our Product Tours on the dashboard for an overview of the platform.
