Self-managing your rental properties is cost effective and allows you to take the day-to-day management of your property and tenants into your own hands. However, self-managing rentals can be time consuming and challenging – unless you’re using a great landlord software solution to simplify your rental management. In 2024 there’s a surplus of landlord software solutions available to streamline your business and boost your bottom line. But with so many available options, how do you know which one is right for your unique rental business?
To make this impactful decision easier, we’ve compiled the main differences between TurboTenant and Keycheck. Keep reading for more.
1) Comprehensive Rental Marketing
Arguably the most important feature of a great property management software solution is the ability to easily syndicate your rental listing to popular online listing sites so you can find a qualified tenant fast. TurboTenant’s marketing feature syndicates your rental listing to 80+ popular listing sites like Apartments.com, Redfin, Craigslist, and dozens more to make sure your listing is in front of the best potential tenants. It’s 100% free to list your rental on TurboTenant’s platform and their landlords average 28 leads per listing.
In addition to marketing syndication, TurboTenant helps you curate an attractive rental listing title and description with their AI Property Listing Description feature. In under five seconds, this tool will craft a unique and attractive listing title and description for your rental property. TurboTenant also provides tips and tricks as you’re creating your listing to help you attract the best tenants. They also have a surplus of free educational resources available to help you market your property efficiently.
Right now, KeyCheck does not offer any services to help you syndicate your rental listing to online platforms, help you craft a listing, nor to create any sort of advertisement for your rental. If you choose KeyCheck for your chosen property management software, you’ll have to make a plan for outsourcing marketing services to find great tenants for your property.
2) Administrative Assistance
The life of a landlord comes with a good deal of administrative tasks that can be challenging to manage without a great landlord software to streamline your day-to-day. TurboTenant helps you cut these administrative tasks in half by providing customizable state-specific lease agreement templates and landlord forms to help you navigate challenging tenant communications, automate tenant check-ins, and streamline maintenance requests and condition reports.
On the other hand, KeyCheck does not offer the same features TurboTenant does to support the many administrative tasks that come with being a landlord. KeyCheck does not have state-specific leases, tenant check-ins, maintenance tracking, condition reports, any sort of tenant communication features, nor do they provide a landlord forms pack. If you’re using KeyCheck, you’ll have to outsource a state-specific lease agreement and other form templates, which can be costly, as well as build your own process for managing maintenance requests, checking in with tenants, filing and completing condition reports, and other daily management tasks.
When you turn to a landlord software to simplify your management, it’s important that every administrative task can be handled under one login so you can have an organized rental business. Not only does organizing your operations in one platform save you time and money, but you’ll also be thankful when it comes to tax season or the unfortunate case of a legal dispute. Go with a landlord software that can help you protect your investment.
3) All-In-One Capability
A true all-in-one landlord software will provide you with support every step of the way, from finding the best tenant, to residency, to move out. TurboTenant is focused on continuing to grow and develop their landlord software to suit the needs of landlords experiencing any daily task or challenge. KeyCheck clearly has a more limited toolset of features. KeyCheck offers, but falls short in, many other areas like rental property accounting, rental maintenance, and other helpful landlord tools.
TurboTenant is the true one-stop shop for landlords, ensuring that all your needs are met in one place. TurboTenant’s partnership with REI Hub allows landlords to unlock rental property-specific accounting software to streamline tax season and make the most out of your deductions.
TurboTenant also partners with Lula maintenance to give their landlords the option for automated, hands-off maintenance. Lula handles tenant communication, sending a vetted contractor to your property, and tenant follow ups in the event of a maintenance issue. In addition to REI Hub and Lula, TurboTenant has curated a landlord toolbox full of partnerships to further streamline rental management like landlord insurance, home warranties, and even eviction support services.
KeyCheck currently does not have any accounting services, maintenance management, or an in-house maintenance partnership, automated tenant communication features, or a landlord toolbox to further supply essential services to their landlords like insurance or eviction support.
Conclusion
For a true all-in-one property management software made by landlords, for landlords, choose TurboTenant instead of KeyCheck.
TurboTenant aims to help you every step of your rental management journey, from finding you the best quality tenant as soon as possible to simplifying your administrative responsibilities and everything in between. If you’re looking for an affordable landlord software solution, you don’t have to sacrifice a full suite of property management tools – TurboTenant’s free landlord software has all you need to set your rental business up for easy success.
