Free Software for Landlords and Property Managers from Rentec Direct

Aug. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Rentec Direct announced today an update to the second version of their popular property management software which now includes tenant screening solutions. This release demonstrates the advent of web enabled applications for property owners. Rentec 2.0 is entirely web based using some of the latest technologies available to make the application look and feel as if it's a native application running on the user's desktop. Best yet, it's free!

We've received dozens of inquires over and over asking for a simple, easy to understand, online based property management software. Quickbooks is nice, but it's extremely "heavy" our customers tell us, as are many of the other applications available. Landlords don't want to have to take a course or hire an expensive bookkeeper just to enter and track the data, and we understand that. In reality the financial portion of being a landlord is pretty simple. Rent in, expenses out. Property owners want to get started quickly and have a reliable system.

The benefits to Rentec Direct being online are numerous. The application being online allows it to be accessed from anywhere in the world using a connected computer. Also, the data is not local, and is backed up on the server, so there is zero risk of losing precious data as there is with a desktop application. With the servers running 365 days a year, the automated tasks involved with creating new rental invoices and recurring expenses happen automatically without the need to fire up the software locally.

Rentec Direct includes these, and many other, great features:

* Graphs and charts showing you property statistics at a glance
* Complete property and tenant accounting and reminder system
* Recurring expense and income management
* All necessary reports to quickly manage your properties
* Online file storage for your important documents and receipts
* Instant tenant screening and background checking solutions

Additionally, Rentec Direct provides a comprehensive solution for tenant screening.  It can be a disaster for a landlord to rent to a bad tenant.  Landlords who have experienced non-pay tenants or "professional renters" know that the cost of housing one of these tenants is far more expensive than anything else related to their properties.  To eliminate this costly expense and provide an easy to use interface with instant results, Rentec Direct provides a full tenant screening solution.  The solution includes nationwide criminal searches, local county criminal searches, as well as judgment, eviction, lien, and bankruptcy searches.  For more information see http://www.rentecdirect.com/details/tenant_screening.php
