🌎 For Remote Landlords

You Can't Drive By. But You Can Still Know What's Happening.

You own rental property in one city and live in another. Maybe you moved for work. Maybe you invested out of state for better cash flow. Either way, you can't pop over to check on things. RentGuard gives you automated monitoring so you know the second something needs attention.

Sound Familiar?

Out of sight, out of mind is expensive

When you can't physically see your property, it's easy to let things slide. That spreadsheet you meant to check every Sunday? You haven't opened it in three weeks. Meanwhile, rent is two weeks late.

You're relying on others but can't verify

Maybe you have a property manager. Maybe a friend checks in occasionally. But you have no independent way to verify rent is actually being collected on time. Trust but verify is hard when you're 1,000 miles away.

Time zones and schedules make manual tracking unreliable

You're three hours ahead or behind your property. By the time you remember to check your sheet, half the day is gone. Automated monitoring doesn't care about time zones.

Flying out for a missed payment isn't an option

A local landlord can knock on the door. You have to call, email, or send a letter. Starting that process on day 1 vs. day 15 makes a real difference in outcomes.

How RentGuard Helps

Automated alerts are your eyes on the ground

RentGuard checks your spreadsheet every day. Late payment? You know immediately. Everything on time? Silence. No news is good news.

Works across any distance

Your property is in Indianapolis. You live in Seattle. RentGuard doesn't care. It reads your Google Sheet and sends alerts to your email. Geography is irrelevant.

Independent verification for your PM

Using a property manager? Great. RentGuard gives you a second set of eyes on rent collection. If your PM misses a late payment, you won't.

How It Works

1. Connect Your Spreadsheet

Share your Google Sheet with RentGuard. We read your data in read-only mode. Your original sheet stays untouched.

2. We Monitor Daily

RentGuard checks your data every day and flags overdue rent or aging maintenance requests. No manual review needed.

3. Get Alerts That Matter

Receive email alerts only when something needs attention. Take action directly from the email or your dashboard.

I own three rentals in Ohio and live in Colorado. Before RentGuard, I was checking my spreadsheet maybe once a month. Now I get an alert within 24 hours of any late payment. Game changer for remote management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I manage out-of-state properties with just a spreadsheet?

Many landlords do. A Google Sheet for rent tracking plus RentGuard for monitoring is a lightweight, effective system. You don't need expensive PM software to stay on top of things remotely.

How does RentGuard compare to hiring a property manager?

A property manager handles everything: tenant placement, maintenance, rent collection. RentGuard just monitors your data and alerts you. If you're self-managing remotely, RentGuard covers the "did they pay?" part for $15/mo instead of 8-10% of rent.

Do I get alerts in real time?

RentGuard checks your spreadsheet daily. Alerts are sent the day a payment becomes overdue based on your configured grace period. It's not real-time to the second, but it's same-day.

Can I use RentGuard alongside a property manager?

Yes, and many remote landlords do. Think of it as oversight. Your PM manages the day-to-day. RentGuard gives you independent visibility into rent collection without micromanaging.
