Learn how David Black of Onyx Property Management manages his dream endeavour of being a single-family landlord.
Prior to 2012 most of my investments were in stocks, but I knew I needed a change. I moved my investments to real estate and founded Onyx Property Management, LLC. With Onyx I wanted to create a business that could match people with quality homes that fit their needs while also working to foster the growth of tight-knit neighborhoods.
I started looking for a smarter way to manage all of this data.
My dreams became a reality when I closed on ten rental properties. At first I kept my records manually, but with the volume of information I needed to organize, paperwork became a monthly chore that hindered my ability to scale the business to greater heights. I knew that I needed a better way to manage rent collection, to schedule my work orders, and to communicate with residents. I started looking for a smarter way to manage all of this data.
I researched and tried several programs, and none of them offered the right combination of features I needed to run my business efficiently. I signed up for the free 30-day trial of RentPost and immediately found what I was looking for. RentPost offered online rent collection, an easy to use tenant portal, and a straightforward vendor portal for work orders. My tenants love the online rent collection feature. The program offers rent due notifications, auto payment and a summary of fees for their convenience. RentPost combined the transparency my tenants and I need with a well-organized interface that is easy to use.
At Onyx, we are tenant focused first and foremost, so our management tools must work overtime to serve our needs and those of our residents. Choosing RentPost to handle our property management routines saved us valuable time and energy that we are now able to devote to our residents and their neighborhoods. We couldn’t be happier.
