Self-managing? Keep the fee, automate the manager
A property manager costs 8–10% of collected rent plus leasing fees. On a $1,500 unit, that's $120–150 every month — mostly for bookkeeping, phone answering, and calendar-watching. Those are exactly the tasks software does without complaint.
LetsGoLandlord is the self-manager's toolkit: it reads leases, tracks every dollar against every lease, takes maintenance requests off your phone, and watches the renewal calendar so nothing expires silently. You keep the judgment calls; it keeps the books.
The manager's job, itemized and automated
Rent tracking: deposits from your bank feed or CSV match to tenants automatically, with a review queue for anything ambiguous. Late fees apply on your schedule, not when you remember.
Maintenance: each unit gets a permanent magic link. Tenants send the problem with photos; AI categorizes and prioritizes it; you get a ticket with a timeline instead of a voicemail.
Renewals: at 90 days the renewal drafts itself — new term, your increase rule, deposit top-up math — and a wizard takes plain-English changes like 'raise rent $50 and make the late fee $100'. Nothing sends without your click.
Owner-quality reporting on your own portfolio
Monthly, the AI writes the report a good manager would send an owner — collections, occupancy, who owes what, what needs attention — from your real numbers only. Cap-rate views tell you what your NOI implies at 8/10/12% so you're never guessing what the portfolio is worth.
When you're away
Telegram alerts push every maintenance request, application, and bank notice to your phone the second they happen. The tenant-facing pieces keep working while you don't.
Frequently asked questions
Can software really replace a property manager?
It replaces the manager's paperwork — the 80% that's bookkeeping and intake. It doesn't show units or evict. Many self-managers pair the software with a handyman and a leasing agent hired per-task.
How much time does it actually save?
The big three: no manual rent spreadsheet (bank matching), no maintenance phone tag (magic links), no renewal scramble (autopilot at 90 days). Users typically report books that used to take a Sunday now take minutes.
What does it cost versus a PM?
$15–$99/month flat depending on unit count — versus 8–10% of collected rent. On a single $1,500/month unit, a PM costs more per month than our 100-unit plan.
I'm not technical. How hard is setup?
If you can attach a PDF to an email, you can set this up. Upload leases, review what the AI found, connect or import your bank. There's nothing to configure before it's useful.
