1) Comprehensive Rental Marketing

Savvy investors know filling vacancies with quality tenants as soon as possible is the key to steady cash flow and protecting your bottom line. The first step to finding qualified tenants is to market your property on popular online platforms with a high-quality rental listing. When choosing landlord software, solid marketing is one of the most important benefits they can offer.

TurboTenant syndicates to over 50 of the most popular marketing sites, such as Apartments.com, Redfin, Apartmentlist, and more. On average, landlords receive 28 leads per TurboTenant listing and generally find a qualified renter in less than 30 days. Plus, TurboTenant has further simplified marketing for rental property owners by releasing an AI Property Listing Description feature. In addition to TurboTenant’s surplus of educational resources to assist you with marketing your property, their new AI feature will curate a unique and attractive listing title and description for you in less than five seconds.

Baselane does not offer any marketing services to syndicate your property to popular sites, help you easily craft a listing, or create any online property listing. If you choose Baselane, you’ll need to outsource marketing to get your rental in front of qualified renters.

2) Administrative Assistance

Property management comes with a surplus of daily administrative tasks to juggle, such as protecting you and your tenant with an airtight lease, screening potential applicants to ensure your investment is protected, and working through various other forms to ensure you’re doing your due diligence. One awesome benefit of robust landlord software is the ability to streamline these administrative tasks.

TurboTenant handles all the lease-creation work for you by offering 50 state-specific lease agreement templates, updated regularly by their legal team. It’s easy to purchase a one-off lease for $99, but landlords looking to conduct business across multiple states, or with several properties, can benefit from subscribing to a Premium plan, which ranges from $149/yr to $199/yr. TurboTenant’s Premium plan offers unique bonus tools in addition to unlimited lease agreements and addenda, such as their Landlord Forms Pack, expedited rent payouts, in-depth income verification (via the Pro plan) for screening potential renters, and more.

TurboTenant also offers a pre-screener for landlords to vet potential applicants, an online rental application, and document storage within your profile to make your life as a landlord as easy as possible.

Baselane offers 50 state-specific lease agreements through its partner, Rocket Lawyer. However, they do not offer landlord forms such as Condition Reports and Cash for Keys Agreements, a digital rental application, tenant screening services, or document storage within your account.

3) All-In-One Capability

It’s clear that Baselane has a limited toolset compared to a more all-in-one property management solution like TurboTenant. Baselane offers unique financial services for rental property owners, like free rent collection, rental accounting, and a high-yield savings account tied to your Baselane account. Still, they don’t offer any of the other essential property management services. In addition, to use any part of their product, each landlord is required to either open a savings account on their platform or begin collecting rent through their software.

On the other hand, TurboTenant offers a full suite of property management features for landlords to manage all aspects of their rentals, including comprehensive financial tools such as rent collection and rental property accounting. Additionally, TurboTenant landlords can create a free account and don’t have to commit to any aspect of the product, like rent collection or marketing, to access the full software’s capabilities. TurboTenant lets you create an account and try the software before making any financial or impactful commitment, and their free plan is free forever for landlords.

Baselane landlords will have to turn to other platforms or services to market their property, screen tenants, create rental applications, and manage their tenants. This could complicate your rental management process because important documents and information are spread across multiple platforms, and any small business owner will tell you that multiple logins and tools will only cause a headache.

Conclusion

If you want to boost your business with a comprehensive property management software solution, choose TurboTenant instead of Baselane. Having access to all necessary property management features under one login will simplify your life as a landlord and save you time and money.

Although Baselane offers attractive financial features for rental properties, TurboTenant offers great rent collection, industry-leading marketing tools, and comprehensive rental property accounting. Make it quick and easy to find tenants and manage the various administrative tasks of landlording with TurboTenant’s all-in-one solution, built for landlords, by landlords.
