Automating property management

Even though property investment isn’t much of a passive investment, there are definitely ways that you can make the investment more streamlined and easier to manage. Automating your property management systems makes things easier for both parties and ensures that payment is made ontime, every month.

Avoid chasing late payments

Since tenants will be able to pay their rent online through automatic payments, there won’t be a need to chase them constantly for not paying ontime. If this does happen, our software also has an automated email reminder feature for late payments.

Track expenses and keep records safe

Collecting rent online also allows you to keep track of your expenses and your rental business as a whole. All of the financial information will be logged over an extended period of time, which will allow you to see your rental business from a more holistic point of view.

In addition to this, our software also has a document feature where you can upload all of your important documents to keep them in one place. From P&S and HOA bylaws to tenant applications, credit checks, lease documents to rental and property analysis reports owning property means managing lots of files. We make it easy to keep organized.

Avoid Cash Collections

Accepting rental payments in cash generally isn’t a good idea. Whilst it may sound good in practicality, cash is harder to keep track of from an accounting and audit perspective, and it also poses high-security risks. All of these risks and issues can be alleviated by establishing a ‘no cash’ policy.

Make the methods of payment very clear in your agreement to ensure that your tenant is aware. If you are in need of digital rent collection, we have a service for that! Avoiding cash is a great way to ensure that you can collect rent on time.

Automate Rental Collection

Having your rental collection on autopilot is the easiest way to ensure that payments are always on time. As humans, we’re quite busy and your tenants may easily forget to pay if they have a lot going on. For this reason, you should ensure that rent is collected automatically, either through recurring bills with their bank or through online software, such as our own!

To avoid any issues, it’s important that their payment details are always up to date.

Allow Transparency & Honesty

If your tenant is late with rental payment, don’t be afraid to enquire and ask why in a friendly manner. As a lot of the time they might be intimidated but have a good reason.

Try to extend your empathy to your tenant, to ensure the best outcome.
