Why now
Tight vacancies make speed important, but bad approvals in small portfolios are still brutally expensive.
Market angle
Ohio State, healthcare, finance, and Intel-driven growth keep applicant volume high across the city.
Local pressure
The Columbus story behind the pitch.
Built for Columbus owners with 1–5 units, duplex operators, and scattered-site landlords who screen applicants after work, not with a leasing team.
Recent local warning sign
Hilltop vacant home causing issues for neighbors
10TV reported on a Hilltop property that kept drawing squatters and complaints from neighbors around a vacant home.
When a vacancy drags or a unit sits in limbo, the cost is not just lost rent. It becomes damage, complaints, and one more problem you now own.
