Start A Tenant Finder/Communications App Business

A tenant finder/communications app is a digital platform designed to help property owners efficiently locate and communicate with potential tenants.

This app streamlines the rental process by providing a user-friendly interface for listing properties, showcasing available units, and facilitating direct communication between landlords and tenants.

It serves as a centralized hub for managing property inquiries, scheduling viewings, and sharing essential information.

The tenant finder/communication app can be a lucrative venture because it addresses the growing demand for streamlined and convenient rental solutions, saving time for both landlords and tenants while potentially generating significant income through subscription models or transaction fees.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a tenant finder/communications app business:

1. PEAR Cards ($228K/year)

Matthew Roberts, co-founder of PEAR Cards, came up with the idea for his business after using a set of "Positivity Cards" at a friend's party. Inspired by the meaningful and touching experience, Roberts realized the need for more moments like that in people's lives and set out to create PEAR Cards, a card-based tool/game that initiates positive conversations. With the help of his co-founder and friend, Roberts built the initial version of PEAR Cards, gathered feedback, and launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund their production. The brand has since grown through word of mouth, social media, and the support of influential partners like Ad Magic.
