I have an investment home, now what?

Even in today's economy, it is always a great investment to have a second home for income.  These investment properties can prove to be very beneficial when it comes to paying your mortgage, or just for extra cash.  It is no secret that those who do this well, usually end up replacing their day job and have a lot of fun doing it.  

But it is also not a secret that having an extra house or multiple investment properties can also prove to be a good amount of work.   When you start to manage your own properties you will soon start to ask: How do I invoice my tenants?  What options do I have to accept payments?  How do I find my tenants, and how do I know if they are good tenants?  Once I do find my tenants, how do I handle my financials?

Well, those can all be complex questions, and relevant questions to ask when looking to invest in properties.  That is why we created the most comprehensive online software for managing properties available.  Property Stampede is your complete source for everything you need to manage your properties.

Once you fill your vacancy, you can easily invoice your tenants every month so that they know when and how much is due for rent.  Accept their payments online with a free portal for the tenants to log into to find their information, and allow them payment options for their convenience.

Added Functionality

Lately a very big focus from everyone that we have been working with is the easy of use, and reducing the amount of time it takes to complete day to day tasks.  A few of these things included jumping between tabs, and finding similar information in multiple places.   


So to come up with a solution to this, one of the biggest additions is our new Global Unit Search which is found at the top of every page.  No matter where you are in the site, you can type a unit name or number or the name of one of your tenants and it will bring you directly to the Unit page for that information.
  
This is a fast and efficient way to find out info and navigate the site without having to jump around to multiple tabs.  The next step is that we will organize and prioritize the information on that page so that it is even better suited.

Look for more details to come!

New Owner's Portal!

The newest addition to the collection of features offered by property stampede is  our new owners portal!

  
This portal is designed to reduce the amount of time between the property manager and the owner's.  What is allows the property manager to do is associate a specific unit or property to an owner.  This allows the owner to create a login into property stampede, and log on to their account and view the details of all the units and properties that they own.  They can view the lease details, delinquencies, where it is being marketed if it is vacant and details of the unit without the need to call the property manager for those details.  

This is the first step in bridging the process of collecting a tenants rent payment online, processing that payment, having the money flow to the property manager, automattically process in their account, and automatically update their leases, invoice, delinquency report, tenant portal and owners portal.  If a tenant makes a payment, the flow of money is shown all the way through, but each person can only see the respected info as necessary of that process.

Making owning and managing properties and units easier than ever.

Property Stampede Update!

Continuing to bring updates and improvements to the software, we have created a brand new lease generation tool to make it easier and add functionality to creating and managing your leases!


The lease generation tool accomplishes multiple things.  First, it makes the process of creating leases and selecting dates and the billing day of the month much much easier.  Second, it adds a page that shows all of the invoices that will be generated and have the ability to add recurring charges to the invoices in real time, watching which charge will go where and for how much.

There is also another element as well.  This one is probably the most important...Prorating lease recurring charges and adding them to the first invoice automatically so you never have to get out the calculator and figure out how much for people to move in half way into the month!  

This is just one more feature added, and many more to come.  Stop back and see what else we are working on!

Craigslist AD Generator!


Craigslist is proving to be one of the most popular and most effective ways to reach your targeted market in a fast and free way. With all of the new attention though it is hard to designate your ad from other ads on Craigslist.  So we took it a step farther. We incorporated an ad generator right into the marketing component of our software. Since all of the unit and property information is already stored and managed in the software, a full HTML ad is created quickly by pulling your information for your vacant unit and providing an effective and excellent looking page in and instant. 



Simply use the generator, fill in the missing info, click create and copy and paste the HTML that is generated directly into your Craigslist account! It is as simple as that to designate your ads from the basic four line, text only ads. 


Stand out, be noticed, and do it with style with Property Stampede!
