PROSPECTING — THE DIFFERENTIATOR
Most platforms wait until you own a property. We help you find it.
Underwrite deals before you buy. Run scenarios, compare comps, and validate rent against HUD's Fair Market Rent data — all in the same tool you use to manage what you already own.
- Paste any listing description — AI extracts the deal in seconds
- Run multiple scenarios with live cap rate, cash-on-cash, IRR, and break-even
- Live rent validation against HUD market data (more below)
- Convert won deals into managed properties without re-entering data
Real market data, not a guess
Validate every deal against HUD’s Fair Market Rent.
We pull rent baselines from the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s official datasets. If your projected rent is way off market, you see it before you bid.
Every U.S. zip code
Live HUD Fair Market Rent data — SAFMR per-zip where HUD publishes it, county-level fallback everywhere else.
Traffic-light validation
Your projected rent gets a green / yellow / red badge against the FMR baseline. Catch overpriced underwriting before you bid.
Refreshed each save
Edit a prospect and the FMR check re-runs. No manual lookups, no stale data, no spreadsheets.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Every number, in one place.
Your operating console. Cash flow trends, occupancy, outstanding rent, ROI — alongside the tasks that need your attention this week.
- Six KPI cards refresh per page nav — no manual data entry
- 12-month cash flow chart with green-gradient area under the line
- Tasks & Reminders surfaces overdue rent, open tickets, lease expirations
- Property performance bar chart shows which units are pulling weight
YOUR TENANTS GET A PORTAL TOO
Tenants pay rent, track tickets, and chat with you — without another app.
Doorstep's tenant portal is free and works on any device. No download, no signup hoops, no fees passed to your renters.
- Tenants pay rent, see their lease, and submit maintenance from one place
- Direct messaging — reply to their landlord, get broadcast announcements
- Email + in-app notifications they control per type
- Roommate-aware: multiple tenants can share a lease with shared visibility
MESSAGING
Conversations that don't get lost in email.
Every landlord-tenant relationship gets one persistent thread. No subject lines, no buried emails — just a chat history both sides can scroll back through.
- One thread per tenant — context never disappears between conversations
- Broadcast composer fans an announcement to a whole property, unit, or active lease
- Active threads poll every 30s with optimistic send and read receipts
- Each side controls in-app + email notifications per type
