My Favorite Tools for Rental Property Investors

Obie Insurance

Obie is a leading online provider of landlord insurance to real estate investors. I’m a fan of Obie because they have the fastest policy quote and binding technology, reducing the need for tedious forms and extended wait times.

Rentcast

I believe this is the best rent estimator on the market, so it’s a critical tool for running accurate numbers on target homes. But it has lots of other great features that I love: track rent potential over time for the properties you own, get market reports for your zip codes, and more.
