You want to use a vendor or a point solution that ties into our API, great.
Peter LohmannHOST
5:54
That was like you guys, I mean, I remember talking with you and someone from AppFolio on stage at a Lead Simple conference years ago, long before ChatGPT was out.
Peter LohmannHOST
6:04
And, you know, you were hammering on that point.
Peter LohmannHOST
6:08
So it's been awesome that the AI era has, like, massively given a tailwind to something you were already doing.

think, though, is the affordability.
Peter LohmannHOST
32:13
Like, Buildium has a great API, but it's only available on their most expensive plan, which is ridiculously expensive.
Peter LohmannHOST
32:20
And AppFolio, I think, also has their API pretty high up in the tiers if you want to get access to it.
Peter LohmannHOST
32:27
I don't know.
David NormandGUEST
13:14
I got things to do, but also we need to monitor the health of our maintenance.
David NormandGUEST
13:19
And just FYI, do you know that my room is actually your assistant? Do you know that you no longer have to log into AppFolio or to RenFind to change statuses, to upload photos? You have to see the bigger picture.
David NormandGUEST
13:33
Roo is not just for you.
David NormandGUEST
13:33
Roo is an assistant for everybody in your organization, including your vendors.
Nick KalfasHOST
37:36
Yeah.
Nick KalfasHOST
37:36
So what we're trying to do now, obviously earlier on it wasn't this way where we had photos, but, like, whenever it pops up again, we'll relist it in AppFolio with all the photos, and we'll get the guest cards coming in, and then we'll send them the questionnaires to weed out the ones who have-
Ryan GreenbergHOST
37:51
Mm-hmm
Nick KalfasHOST
37:52
... had prior failure to pays, and evictions, and stuff.
Alex TaylorGUEST
12:48
But where we're really sitting is kind of on top of that accounting data and financial context.
Alex TaylorGUEST
12:54
So we're going to bring in all of your financial information from, again, a Yardi or MRI or AppFolio.
Alex TaylorGUEST
12:59
We set that up on an automated basis.
Alex TaylorGUEST
13:01
There is no manual transfer like you'd have to do, again, with a generic AI.
Peter LohmannHOST
57:14
The filter that I use for everything that I publish is, would this help a property management business owner to know this, to learn this, to see this, to hear this? If the answer is no, then generally I won't publish it because it's either not relevant or it's essentially gossip.
Peter LohmannHOST
57:29
And so now sometimes things are kind of like right on that line where it's like, you know, Appfolio is involved with such and such a lawsuit.
Peter LohmannHOST
57:36
Does it help the average property manager know that? I think so.
Peter LohmannHOST
57:40
There's maybe an argument to be made that it's kind of like not relevant or I'm just trying to get views or whatever.
Michelle MartinezGUEST
13:13
Really, we, more bigger property management companies would be great.
Michelle MartinezGUEST
13:18
I know that a lot of them are using rent-free Buildium embedded softwares in their property management software, Appfolio, those.
Michelle MartinezGUEST
13:27
But when it comes to the tenant screening process, they don't do what we can provide.
Michelle MartinezGUEST
13:32
And I know that because obviously I'm in the industry as well.
Jason CousineauGUEST
33:56
We operate the building like a landlord, and that's kind of my argument as well to appraisers.
Jason CousineauGUEST
34:03
It's like, well, we actually use AppFolio, which is a common property management tool, right? And so...
Jason CousineauGUEST
34:10
If the revenue or the rents can be collected and the income doesn't hit or doesn't get any hurt just by collecting a 9% property management fee, then it all should be counted as rental income.
Jason CousineauGUEST
34:20
So that's kind of my argument all the time with commercial appraisers.
Dani Lynn RobisonGUEST
23:39
So you can go find a, I, I can't remember, Planet Synergy, as an example, is a company who trains, um, VAs from the Philippines in property management.
Dani Lynn RobisonGUEST
23:50
Some of them know Buildium, some of them know AppFolio, some s- they, they just, they're trained.
Dani Lynn RobisonGUEST
23:54
So you tell them, "This is the system that we use.
Dani Lynn RobisonGUEST
23:56
This is the role that we need." They have somebody that already knows that system and is good in that role.
Tom ShallcrossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
40:03
Yep.
Tom ShallcrossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
40:04
And then this is, this is not something that sits on, like, an AppFolio.
Tom ShallcrossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
40:06
This is a competitor to a product like that.
Tom ShallcrossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
40:09
Is that correct?
Pablo GonzalezHOST
40:09
Uh, no.
Pablo GonzalezHOST
40:10
It actually works inside of AppFolio.
Mark AinleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
40:12
It, it's probably comparable to an employee.
