Inspection findings

Small landlords lose money in the inbox, not on the property.

After thousands of inspections, the same three problems kept showing up.

ItemFindingStatus
INQ-01

Slow replies lose renters

Good applicants email three places. The first one to answer usually signs the lease.

DEFICIENT
MNT-02

Leaks get buried

A maintenance email missed on Friday becomes a ceiling repair on Monday.

DEFICIENT
SYS-03

Big software is overkill

Most platforms want 50+ units, months of setup, and everything moved over.

DEFICIENT
See it work

Real systems. Real emails. No editing tricks.

Two 30-second recordings of the actual automations running.

01 / RENTAL INQUIRIES

Rental Inquiry Assistant

Answers renter questions from your own property list (rent, bedrooms, pets, availability) and sends a link to book a viewing. Every inquiry is logged.

Gmail → property lookup → AI reply → logged
02 / MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Request Sorter

Reads every request and grades it Emergency, Urgent or Routine. You get an instant alert with the address and a suggested next step.

Gmail → urgency triage → alert to you → logged
Live demo

About

Built by someone who's been inside your properties.

I'm Ben Hastings. I spent years as a Section 8 housing inspector and completed thousands of inspections. I've seen what a slow reply or a missed leak really costs a landlord.

Now I build simple automations that take the busywork out of managing rentals, so you can spend your time on the properties, not the inbox.
