Rental property software

One system for the whole life of a rental property.

Underwrite the deal, then run the leases, repairs, books and security deposits from the same place. The numbers you bought on stay next to the numbers you actually earn.

Every plan starts with a 14-day trial. Set up in minutes.

What it does

Built for the people who buy, hold and manage the property.

Owners, small property managers and investment teams use Return Grid to replace the spreadsheet, the inbox, the shoebox of receipts and the sticky notes.

Underwrite with the real costs in.

Evaluate a deal on cap rate, cash-on-cash return and IRR, then stress-test it before you make an offer. Once you own it, compare what the property earns to what you underwrote.

  • Sensitivity grid across price, rent and rates
  • Search Watch checks new listings against your buy box
  • Forward listing links and MLS alerts to your own Deal Inbox
Property metrics: monthly profit, profit per unit, breakeven occupancy and cap rate
The Return Grid Tenant Portal dashboard with payments, maintenance, messages and documents

Give every renter their own portal.

Renters sign in to pay rent, send maintenance requests, read messages, see their security deposit and find their lease documents. It carries your property management brand, not ours.

  • Online rent payments and a full payment history
  • Maintenance requests with photos and live status
  • Email, text and in-app messages, with opt-outs honored
Maintenance

From the renter's first message to the paid invoice.

A request is the conversation. A job is a piece of work inside it. Keep them together and nothing gets lost between the tenant, your technician and the vendor.

Requests and repair orders on one board.

Every tenant report, inspection finding, turnover and rule-created ticket lands on one board that moves from New through Triaged, Scheduled and In progress to Work done. Each request can hold several numbered jobs, such as 1042-A and 1042-B.

  • One coordinator owns each request; each job names who does it: your technician, a vendor, or both
  • Repair orders carry a low and high estimate, the actual cost, target timeframe, and found and completed photos
  • Statuses such as Waiting on parts and Waiting on vendor keep the queue honest
  • The renter is asked "Was this fixed?" and the request closes itself if they don't object

A property Maintenance tab listing every request and job grouped by year with cost totals

A history that follows the place, not the tenant.

Every request belongs to a property and a unit, so you can see what broke, who fixed it and what it cost, years later and across owners.

  • Costs totaled by year, filtered by unit, system, vendor or date
  • Service history on every appliance and building system
  • Repeat call-outs flagged, such as a third plumbing request at one unit in a year
  • Vendors get emailed from the job, and their replies and invoices land back on the thread; one click turns an invoice into a bill

Repair or capital, classified

Repairs hit income in the period. Capital improvements draw down the CapEx reserve and post automatically when the job is done.

Equipment records made for you

Finish a water heater replacement and the new appliance record is created with its real cost, vendor and install date.

Inventory and supplies

Track parts and supplies on hand, use them on a job and see the cost land on the right unit.

Staff mobile work list

Technicians see their jobs, entry notes and the conversation from their phone.

Scheduled maintenance and notices

The routine work, planned and announced for you.

Maintenance schedules track what is due on every system and appliance. When it is time, Return Grid helps you plan the round and tell the people who need to know.

Plan a seasonal round across many properties.

Pick the work, such as furnace service or gutter cleaning, and the days you can work. Nearby properties are grouped onto the same day and each day is ordered to cut driving.

  • Entry notices, courtesy notes for outside-only work, paper notices and evening-before texts, each sent at the right time
  • The notice shows the reason and arrival window; tenants can say "this time doesn't work"
  • Printable day sheets for your staff and for your vendor, and a run-the-day view on your phone
  • Marking a stop done moves each item's next due date out by its interval on the schedule

The Workflow Rules list showing event and time rules for rent ledger and ticket events

Automatic notices and rules that act on your behalf.

Workflow rules watch every ticket and payment event. They assign, notify, reply to the renter, change status or priority, and escalate when something has sat too long.

  • Event rules fire when a ticket is created, a tenant replies or a status changes
  • Time rules catch tickets that sit untouched, with repeating reminders
  • Repair visits notify everyone on the request by email and text when a visit is booked, moved or cancelled
  • Far-off scheduled jobs stay out of today's list and return on their own when they come due
Accounting

Books that keep up with the property.

Rent, bills, repairs and bank activity all post to one ledger, so the number on the dashboard is the number in the books.

Bank accounts, reconciliation and a month you can close.

Set up operating, trust, reserve and credit card accounts. Reconcile each one against its statement, then close the month with a written reason on record.

  • Import a statement, match lines to what is already in the books, or code them in bulk
  • Match one bank line to several entries; the difference must reach zero or be posted as an audited adjustment
  • Vendor bills with item lines split across properties, units and jobs
  • Close and reopen accounting periods, each with an audit note

Coming soon Automatic bank feeds: transactions arrive from your bank each day into a review inbox, with suggested matches for you to accept.

A monthly owner statement with opening balance, rent collected, repairs and bills paid, management fees, closing balance and deposits held

Pay owners and send statements you can stand behind.

For properties you manage for someone else, rent lands in the owner's trust account. Return Grid shows exactly what can be paid out and builds the monthly statement.

  • Available to pay is trust cash, less deposits held, fees and any reserve kept back
  • Cash-basis monthly statements, emailed as a PDF or downloaded for every owner at once
  • A sent statement is frozen; later changes show up as a line on next month's statement
  • CapEx reserves accrue monthly and can be held in a real bank account
Move-in and move-out inspections

Document the unit going in. Prove what changed coming out.

Every lease can carry a move-in and a move-out inspection. When the renter leaves, AI compares the two sets of photos and points at what looks different, and you make the call.

One checklist, photos by room, and a walkthrough video.

Rooms, items and conditions are ready the moment a lease starts. Your renter fills in the move-in checklist from the Tenant Portal within a window you set, or you fill it in yourself while you walk the unit.

  • Each item is rated Good, Fair, Poor or Damaged, with notes and photos tagged to the room and item
  • Film a narrated walkthrough on your phone; Return Grid transcribes it and writes a recap
  • Reminders go out before the due date and again when it is overdue
  • The Move Inspections report shows every lease at a glance: Not started, Draft or Submitted, with progress, and exports to CSV or Excel

AI Damage Review listing each room item with the move-in and move-out photos, an AI suggestion, a confidence level and a status

AI Damage Review finds what changed.

On a submitted move-out inspection, Return Grid compares the unit's move-in and move-out photos item by item and lists the differences it sees. A tub wall that was clean now has a crack. A living room wall now has holes. A bedroom that looks the same is marked No change.

  • Each finding reads New damage, Pre-existing damage or No change, with a confidence level and a plain-language reason
  • Filter to what still needs your review, what you have decided and what has no room tagged
  • Findings from a walkthrough video appear alongside the photo findings, with the transcript

The AI suggests. You decide.

Open any item to see the move-in and move-out photos side by side with the AI's reasoning. Nothing is decided for you: every item starts undecided until you mark it Tenant liable or Normal wear and tear and add a note.

  • Your decision and note stay on the record, which helps if a renter disputes a charge later
  • Run the comparison again on any item if you add or replace a photo
  • Carry the findings you confirm into the deposit return below, where you itemize each deduction yourself

Security deposits

Hold it correctly. Return it on time.

The deposit lives on the lease, sits in the right account, and never gets mixed up with the owner's money. When the tenant moves out, a guided wizard keeps you inside the law.

A deposit ledger both sides can see.

You see the amount held, the date it started and the account it sits in. The renter sees the same balance, a full deposit ledger and the legal return window for their state.

  • Deposits held are kept out of what an owner can be paid
  • The state statute and return deadline are computed from the property's location
  • A renter can dispute a line item; it opens a ticket with you
  • Move-in checklists, move-out inspection reports and maintenance history by tenancy back up every deduction

  2. 2. DeductionsEvery deduction needs a category, a detailed description and an amount. Attach receipts.

  4. 4. PayoutRefund by ACH through your payments provider, by check, or another method you note.
