📈 For Scaling Landlords

Your Spreadsheet Worked at 5 Units. At 15, It Needs Backup.

You're scaling. What started as a side investment is becoming a real portfolio. Your spreadsheet is getting long, your checks are getting less frequent, and things are starting to slip through. You're not ready for AppFolio pricing. RentGuard bridges the gap.

Sound Familiar?

Manual checks don't scale

At 5 units, you could scan your spreadsheet in 2 minutes and know who paid. At 15, that same scan takes 10 minutes and you still miss things. The more rows, the more errors.

PM software pricing penalizes growth

AppFolio, Buildium, and Rentec Direct all charge per unit. At 15+ units, you're looking at $200-400/mo. RentGuard is $15/mo flat regardless of unit count. Your growth shouldn't be punished.

Your systems were built for a smaller portfolio

The Google Sheet that tracked 5 units perfectly now has 15 rows, multiple tabs, and conditional formatting that's breaking. The sheet isn't the problem. The lack of monitoring is.

You're caught between DIY and enterprise

Too big for pure manual management. Too small (or too cost-conscious) for full-service PM software. You need monitoring and alerts, not a whole platform.

How RentGuard Helps

$15/mo whether you have 5 or 50 units

No per-unit pricing. No tiers. No gotchas. One flat price covers all your monitors. Add properties as you grow without watching your software bill grow with them.

Your spreadsheet scales, monitoring scales with it

Add rows to your sheet as you add properties. RentGuard automatically picks up new entries and monitors them. No reconfiguration needed.

Catch what manual scanning misses

At scale, the payments you miss are the ones that cost you. RentGuard checks every row, every day, with zero fatigue. It catches the unit on page 3 of your sheet that you stopped scrolling to.

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 went from 6 to 14 units in one year. My rent tracking spreadsheet got unwieldy fast. RentGuard caught two late payments in the first month that I would have missed for sure. And it's $15/mo, not per-unit. That matters at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a unit limit on the $15/mo plan?

No. $15/mo covers unlimited monitors, which means unlimited properties and units. Whether you have 5 or 50, the price is the same.

How does RentGuard compare to AppFolio or Buildium for scaling portfolios?

AppFolio and Buildium are full property management platforms with tenant portals, accounting, and leasing tools. RentGuard focuses on one thing: monitoring your spreadsheet and alerting you when rent is overdue. If you don't need the full suite, RentGuard saves you hundreds per month.

Can I monitor multiple spreadsheets?

Yes. You can connect multiple Google Sheets, each with their own monitors. Useful if you have separate spreadsheets per building or per LLC.

At what point should I switch from RentGuard to full PM software?

When you need features RentGuard doesn't offer, like online rent collection, tenant portals, or full accounting. Many landlords with 20-50 units stay on RentGuard because they just need monitoring and alerts, not a platform. There's no magic number.
