The Problem

11 million individual landlords in the US manage 1-4 rental units. They're not property managers with enterprise software. They're homeowners renting a spare room, an ADU, or a duplex. The process of listing a rental is painful:

Each platform has different formats, fields, and character limits
Landlords spend 20-40 minutes per platform, often giving up after 1-2
Writing compelling listing copy is hard for non-writers
Bad listings get fewer views, worse tenants, and sit vacant longer
No centralized tool exists for individual landlords
Enterprise PMS tools start at $100+/mo and are designed for 50+ units
Tenant screening is scattered and manual
Applications via text, email, paper. No audit trail. Legal exposure.
