Maybe I'm old school, but I like to make sure I meet my tenants face to face during a showing before renting a property out. I guess it depends on if your tenants are all shorter term and you have high turnover.

I don't feel the paperwork part of it is a huge hassle anymore, with screening services and document signing all being online now.

This is the classic pet vs cattle problem. It isn't aimed at the person who is renting their precious second apartment.

It's for investors with 50+ rentals where every unit is simply a number in a spreadsheet.

That might make sense if you're in town, I rent out a house of mine that's far away from where I live most of the year and this seems like it might be worth a shot in that type of case.
