Being a landlord has never been so easy. Tech has made life so much easier for those who own properties and rent them out to others. In the old days, there was a lot of waiting around to hear back from your tenants, not knowing about things and having to keep handwritten notes and ledgers. All of this has been made so much simpler thanks to the ever growing world of technology. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the tech and how it helps, so keep reading down below if you would like to find out more.
Property Management Software
The first thing that helps is property management software and lease management software. You can get all of the details about a property and the lease in a few simple clicks, rather than searching through thousands of files to find what you are looking for. This means it is easier to manage whatever is happening at any given property, write notes about each one, and check the status of leases and so on.
It’s a lot simpler than it used to be, freeing up a lot of time for landlords, which is one of the biggest benefits.
Communication With Tenants
Technology has also helped with the communication between landlords and tenants. Instead of having to receive a letter through the post, a tenant can get in touch with the landlord directly, or through their personal assistant and have things sorted as soon as possible. It’s much easier to keep up with what is going on when getting in touch isn’t a problem.
You can even set up a separate account on something like Google to manage all of your landlord duties. Give this contact information to the tenants, and they will be able to get in touch with you, and you them, whenever it is needed.
Virtual Tours
The final way that technology has made life easier for landlords is that it has allowed them to give virtual tours. Rather than having a whole range of people in and out of the property, especially in the wake of COVID-19 measures, you can simply show them a video of a walkthrough and they can see it this way. This is far more convenient, especially for those who live far away and don’t want to make a massive long journey just to find out that it is not what they are looking for.
Some people might feel as though they are missing out if they take a virtual tour rather than a real one, but this isn’t the case. Most landlords offer these now and with a lot of success.
Hopefully, this article has been helpful to you, and you now understand that being a landlord has never been easier thanks to the tech that is now available on the market. We wish you the very best of luck, and hope that if you are taking up the task of becoming a landlord, that you use tech to make your life that little bit easier.
