Being a landlord requires a broad skill set including the ability to manage risk, adapt to the changing market, and make strategic decisions to increase profit. Balancing all of these elements of rental property ownership can be demanding, let alone managing finances and property maintenance. Thankfully, some platforms can streamline the process for landlords, while providing additional insight and value-add. Today, we look at one of the most comprehensive landlord property management platforms, TurboTenant.
