Switching software shouldn't mean retyping your portfolio

Every landlord who stays on a spreadsheet — or on software they've stopped liking — stays for the same reason: the move means re-entering everything. Every tenant, every lease date, every deposit, typed into somebody's forms, one field at a time. It's not loyalty. It's dread.

LetsGoLandlord was built to remove exactly that step. You don't re-enter your portfolio — you hand over the documents that already describe it, and AI does the typing. Here's the whole move, honestly, including the parts that stay manual.

The main path: your leases already contain your portfolio

Gather your lease files — PDFs, Word documents, old scans, phone photos of paper leases, or one ZIP of the whole folder — and drop them in. The AI reads each lease and extracts the tenants, unit, term dates, monthly rent, security deposit, and late-fee terms, then drafts the properties, units, tenants, and leases together for your review. Fields it couldn't read confidently are flagged, not guessed; you correct the few uncertain ones, confirm, and the rent roll exists.

As a bonus, each new property's address is looked up, and where Google Street View imagery is available for that address, a street-level photo appears on the property automatically — so your portfolio looks like your portfolio on day one. The full details are on the AI lease extraction feature page, including supported file types and how review works. The trial includes 50extractions — enough to onboard a real portfolio before you've paid anything.

The alternative path: import the rent roll you already keep

If your source of truth is a spreadsheet — or an export from your current software — import that instead. The importer takes whatever shape it's in: an Excel file, a CSV, a PDF report with merged headers and subtotals, even free-form notes. AI normalizes it into one row per lease, and the same review-then-create pipeline builds properties, units, tenants, and leases from it. Matching is careful on purpose: "2462 Copperleaf Dr" finds the "2462 Copperleaf Drive" that already exists, ambiguous rows go to review instead of being guessed, and re-running an import never duplicates anything.

Your payment history comes too

A portfolio without its money history is half a migration. Export transactions from your bank as CSV and import them: deposits match to the right tenants automatically — partial payments included — duplicates are skipped, and anything ambiguous waits in a review queue for a one-tap answer. From then on you can connect your bank for a live feed, or keep importing CSVs; the matcher works the same either way.

What stays manual — because it should

An honest list, so nothing surprises you. Reviewing what the AI extracted is deliberately your job — a few minutes of confirming flagged fields is the price of books you can trust. Connecting your bank feed and, if you want online rent collection, completing the payment-account onboarding (your legal name, your bank, an ID check) are yours to click through. So are your policy settings — rent due day, grace period, late fees — and uploading the lease template you want future documents generated from. None of it is hard; all of it is judgment, and the software doesn't pretend otherwise.

What to expect, week by week

Day one: leases in, portfolio reviewed, rent roll live — for most portfolios this is a single sitting, and most of it is finding the files. First week: bank history imported, settings dialed in, maintenance links texted to tenants. First month: payments reconciling on their own, the first renewal drafting itself, and the old spreadsheet quietly not missed. If you want to see how this stacks up against staying put — or against the other tools you're considering — the honest comparison pages are exactly that, and pricing is flat and public — no setup fees, no per-payment fees. When you're ready, start the free trial and upload one lease first: watching it come back as records is the fastest way to know if this is for you.

Frequently asked questions

How long does switching property management software take?

The portfolio itself is usually a first-sitting job: upload your leases, the AI drafts everything, and you review what it found — most of the time goes to finding the files. What takes longer is the tail: connecting your bank feed, tenants noticing the new maintenance link, the first month of payments reconciling. Plan on being fully settled within one rent cycle. The 14-day trial covers the whole move.

Do I need to export anything from my old software?

Only if you want to. The primary path doesn't touch your old software at all — it works from your lease files. If you'd rather start from a rent-roll export or spreadsheet, that works too: the importer reads Excel, CSV, PDF, Word, even a messy property-manager report, and normalizes it into the same review queue.

What about my payment history?

Export transactions from your bank as CSV and import them — deposits match to the right tenants and leases automatically, partial payments included, with duplicates skipped and anything ambiguous held in a review queue for a one-tap answer. Going forward, a live bank feed (or ongoing CSV imports) keeps the ledger reconciling itself.

What if the AI gets something wrong?

Nothing enters your books silently. Every extracted lease lands in a review screen first, with low-confidence fields flagged rather than guessed — you correct and confirm before any record is created. Imports are also idempotent: re-running a batch never creates duplicates.

Am I locked in once I've moved?

No. Your rent roll, ledgers, and expenses export to CSV at any time, on every plan. If you cancel, your account becomes read-only and stays exportable — your data is never held hostage to a subscription.
