## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. TurboTenant** - My default suggestion for most small landlords (1-10 units). The free tier is genuinely usable: listing syndication to Zillow/Realtor/Apartments.com, applications, tenant screening (paid by the applicant), lease templates, and rent collection. Paid Premium runs around $12/month billed annually. You can run a whole rental on it without paying anything, which makes it the lowest-risk starting point.
> 
> **2. Avail** - The other strong DIY pick, and often rated best-overall for self-managing landlords. Free for your first units with paid plans around $25/month per unit for the upgraded tier (faster payouts, custom leases, state-specific lease clauses). Its state lease library is the best-in-class feature here - worth it if you're in a tenant-protective jurisdiction.
> 
> **3. Baselane** - Pick this if your real pain is money, not tenants. It bundles a no-fee landlord bank account (sub-accounts per property, ~2.6% APY), rent collection, and auto-categorized bookkeeping with Schedule E tagging. Free to start. It replaces the "spreadsheet + separate checking account per property" mess better
