177 Market and Show Your Rental, without Giving up Your Free Time Divyesh Panchal of Key Please

Every landlord who has ever rented has the same old story\u2026

\n

They take time to drive to the property to meet with a potential renter, and it\u2019s a no-show. Or that potential renter has odd work hours and can only meet with you early in the morning or late at night. Or you show the property a half dozen times and still no renter.

\n

That landlord has no life. It\u2019s enough to make an investor want to sell every rental they own.

\n

Divyesh Panchal, has been in the industry for over 10 years and owns 140 units that he has to keep rented. He was that kind of landlord who was struggling with these issues but said, \u201cThis is not acceptable. There has to be a better way.\u201d

\n

To find the \u201cbetter way,\u201d he turned to his friend, Daniel Dawson, and between the two of them, they developed the \u201cKey Please\u201d program. Their goal is to \u201cbring landlording into today\u2019s world.\u201d In this episode, Alex and I interview both Divyesh and Daniel.

\n

Key Please is a creative system. Landlords who use the Key Please program are not brought into the picture until that potential renter has had a background check, has actually seen the property (accessed using a special code) and has expressed a valid interest in the property. What a time saver!

\n

The program is also a boon to those who are looking to rent. It\u2019s convenient, quick and easy. It helps all parties involved.

\n

Key Please is in a state of ongoing development where more and more steps are being automated. What used to take days, now takes minutes. This means less time for a unit to be unoccupied and quicker income for the landlord. This is in addition to all the time and work that is taken off the landlord\u2019s plate.

\n

Key Please allows the landlord to get his life back. Check it out.
