You’re an independent landlord with one or few properties.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the ultra-hot housing market.
According to research from RentCafe, 7 renters competed for one lease on average as of early 2025. Additionally, 93.3% of rentals were occupied during this same period. With a mere 0.75% increase in inventory, tenants are feeling the burn.
And with so much demand, you may feel you’re missing out on the safest tenants willing to pay a premium.
It makes you anxious that your journey to building passive income and becoming your own boss may take longer than needed because of bad tenants and/or leaving money on the table.
The truth is to make the most of your properties you don’t need the sophisticated tools of professional property management firms with thousands of units.
I say that because tousands of mom and pop landlords are using TurboTenant to find and filter new tenants quickly.
