Rentec Direct review

Rentec Direct is the pick for landlords who think about their rentals as a set of books first. Rentec Starter costs a flat $25 a month for up to 10 properties and 10 tenants and still includes property and tenant accounting, Schedule E reports, online applications, vacancy advertising, a tenant portal, work orders, mobile inspections, automated late fees and automated rent increases. Screening is ordered inside the system, from $14.95 for a basic criminal package to $29.45 for a package with a TransUnion credit report on Starter. Rentec Pro, from $50 a month, adds bank sync, QuickBooks sync, 1099 e-file, cash payments and free incoming ACH, while Starter tenants pay $2 per ACH payment. Support is unlimited and US-based, and setup is free. The interface shows its accounting roots, so new landlords should expect a steeper start than with TurboTenant or RentRedi.
