Lyn is turning her ownership game up a notch with RentBetter!

Lyn A. - RentBetter Customer

Lyn is a full-time worker in her 50s who began using RentBetter in 2020 to find a tenant for her property. She’s been a property owner for the last 30 years and is in the unique position of not having used an agent before to manage her properties.

We recently spoke to Lyn about her experience using the RentBetter platform and how it has helped her find the perfect tenant and manage her property, turning her game up a notch to become a more professional and informed landlord.  

What is RentBetter?

RentBetter provides landlords with a more cost-effective way to manage their properties through a simple and intuitive technology platform. We help landlords find tenants and manage their properties for a fraction of the cost of using an agent.

Save Cash: Cut the 7-10% you’d otherwise be paying to a real estate agent. You’ll save an average of $2k per annum, per property. Check out our savings calculator to find out more.

Gain Control: Need to check a rental payment? Generate an EOFY report for your property? Change your lease? Hire a tradesperson? Do it all at the click of a button.

Keep Life Simple: Manage your property from your pocket. Find a tenant and keep your history, files, payments and requests in one place. We’ll run it all for you, with automatic reminders and prompts to keep the process smooth.

Stay Secure: We’re here to help you every step of the way. Automated payments and reminders, tenant checks, and signed legal documents. We’ve got it all covered!

How RentBetter has helped Lyn with her investment

One of the major benefits for Lyn was being able to advertise directly on the main portals such as realestate.com.au, domain.com.au and rent.com.au. Prior to using RentBetter, Lyn was advertising through GumTree as the sites are not available to private landlords.

Lyn said that since using RentBetter to manage her properties, she feels more professional. Even though she is experienced in self-management she said that RentBetter helps to make things more ‘official’ and she feels more safe and secure with the support offered.

In particular, she said the ability to deal with applications and run tenant checks completely online was a huge bonus, not only saving on time and paper but making things more secure. The platform also ensured that she could see things in one place and when it comes to re-doing her advert - it’s all saved there, no need to recreate it each time.

On the Match (Find a Tenant) package, property owners can:

  • Advertise on Realestate.com.au, Domain.com.au, and Rent.com.au
  • Receive enquiries and applications, run tenant checks and create a lease
  • Run tenant checks to verify applicants via the National Tenancy Database
  • Create a lease with your preferred tenant and send it electronically

On recommending RentBetter to other property owners:

"I would definitely recommend RentBetter, it is the best self-management platform I have come across. It is so easy to use, very professional and great value for money. I had 86 applicants apply for one property, it was leased before I even did an open home without any effort and I have found great tenants!"

Successfully Self-Managing - The RentBetter Way

Lyn chose RentBetter because she believed that she could do it herself and wanted to have complete control of who was in her properties. Obviously, there is a huge cash bonus from doing it yourself too, which she said had helped encourage things along!

She said that once you get into it, it really isn't hard and with the help of RentBetter she was able to turn her investment game up a notch and manage things more efficiently and professionally.

We work hard to make managing your property simple so that you don’t have to worry and have the confidence to do it yourself. We believe you can do it better, but we’ve got your back!
