In this episode of the Landlord Gurus Podcast, Chris and Eli take a deep dive into two popular property management platforms: Avail and Zillow Rental Manager. Whether you're listing vacancies, screening tenants, collecting rent, or creating lease agreements, choosing the right software can make a big difference in your day-to-day operations.

Tune in as we compare the features, strengths, and limitations of each platform—from rental listings and tenant applications to electronic leases, rent collection, and financial reporting. We also highlight important considerations like screening costs, local compliance, and usability tips based on our real-world experiences as landlords.

Whether you’re just starting out or managing multiple properties, this episode will help you decide which tool fits your needs best—or if you should be using both.
