My property management business has gotten to the point that its getting a bit too much to manage whats happening with each Landlord, their onboarding, the tenants, their onboarding, accounting/taxes, payment processing and my own employees making it all worse at times.
Ive seen programs out there that have been developed - like Rent Redi etc. But they want a big sign on fee and then a continuous fee after the fact for each and every client. I would at least consider one of these alternatives to creating my own if they in fact offered everything Im looking for - but they dont and on top of that, what they do have is very minimal at best.
On the basement level of it all - Im looking for something that provides transparency to the landlords. I'm under the impression that Cashapp and similar services offer an API that software developers can work with. So ideally, a tenant would log into their account on a cloud based server and pay their rent through Cashapp. This automatically sets up two different payments from this one payment, the 12% to the property management company (adjustable, I have some at 8%) and the remaining 88% (again, adjustable) to the landlord. Standard delivery time, not fast cash option.
Four different types of Login Accounts:
Master Login (my own login) - Allows me access to every employees, tenants, and landlords accounts and adjust permissions for what each login can and cannot see on their account.
Property Management Supervisor - (Same permissions as the Master account, but cannot delete / destroy for obvious reasons). I dont have a supervisor, just future possibility.
Property Management Employee - They have their own accounts and can only see the accounts they own - not other employee accounts.
Landlord Login - They can see all of their properties, click on individual property (if multiple), see the tenants information, if theyre on time/have paid, their payment history (have they always paid on time, late fees, etc.), have PDF's scanned in with original signatures for Leases (would e-contract, but Im sure that cost more), can see the PDF for the Property management contract, can put in work order requests, and can see how their property is doing financially.
Tenant Login - Can see what their payment is, when its due, what late fees are applicable, see the PDF for their lease agreement, can request work orders.
Work orders can be like repairs, key replacement, rent increase/decrease, etc.
------------
I dont have any good idea how much this database / api integration venture would cost, where to look to get it outsourced etc. There are a ton of other things that I would like it to do, like have pages with fields where we can track our mileage, keep copies of receipts etc. But Im trying to get the basic functionality first and foremost with out having a bill for 10's of thousands of dollars.
(tagging people that I *think* do this stuff for employment. Please tag someone else if you think they might know more.)
