Tools, templates, and straight talk from an independent landlord with 20+ years in finance — no fluff, no get-rich-quick nonsense.
After testing most of what's out there, here's what works for independent landlords who want proper accounting — not just a rent roll.
Tenant-facing operations — ACH rent collection, maintenance requests, lease management, and screening. Mobile-first and dead simple for tenants to use.
True double-entry accounting built specifically for rental property owners. Balance sheet, P&L per property, capital improvements, depreciation — the works.
Why use both? RentRedi handles everything your tenants touch. REI Hub handles your books. When linked together, rent payments flow from RentRedi into REI Hub automatically — no double entry, no spreadsheets. Total cost: ~$33/month for most small portfolios.
Plug in your numbers and instantly see NOI, cap rate, cash flow, and DSCR — then get access to my free Excel calculator and my preferred rental tech stack.
MA-specific and nationally compliant. Created from actual landlord experience, not recycled legal boilerplate.
Fully compliant with Massachusetts landlord-tenant law. Covers security deposits, lead paint, last month's rent, and habitability requirements.
Itemized unit condition checklist with photo log section. Protects your security deposit in Massachusetts where the rules are strict.
12 ready-to-send letters — rent due reminder, late payment notice, lease renewal, maintenance entry notice, and more. Legally sound, human in tone.
Annual budget by property, actual vs. budget variance, NOI tracking, and capital reserve schedule. CPA-friendly export layout.
Massachusetts has some of the strictest security deposit rules in the country. This guide walks through every requirement with checklists and deadline calendars.
Everything above bundled together — lease, checklist, letters, budget tracker, and security deposit guide. Everything you need to run it right from day one.
I've spent 20+ years working in nonprofit and independent school finance. I also own and manage a small rental portfolio in Central Massachusetts — which means I approach property management the way a controller would: with proper books, documented processes, and zero tolerance for vague accounting.
Everything I share here is what I actually use — not sponsored content, not affiliate farms. Just practical resources for landlords who want to run their rentals like the small business they are.
