I just installed this last night. I'm comparing it with https://github.com/fisadev/fisa-vim-config

Right now, fisa is slightly ahead because it is a bit faster.

this is such a great question.

It really depends on if you are coming up w/ something new, or working on trying to get something up, you have already done ( think web app w/ 50 reports all w/ json datasets visualized by javascript ).

It's like having your own personal secretary do all the work and research for you to get the ground work up.. heh I like that analogy

Agreed, a framework is just a toolkit of best practices and useful tools.

Another benefit of using a framework is it lets you 'work' with other amazing coders. I have increased my php knowledge many times over by using symfony. Sometimes this happens because you just have to dive into the frameworks sourcecode to see what's going on.

Heh,

I think I see what you are trying to get at. We used a very popular design philosophy right now. Same reason why all tires are round :P

Thanks for the input, we love to hear from both sides of the fence.

Good question. We are hitting 2 different markets.

Our ability to automate a lot of the managers monthly activity sets us appart. Rentmonitor currently only does 'after the fact' accounting, meaning tenants still have to bring in a check or pay an e-bill. Our system allows tenants to pay electronically through their site and submit work orders.

So the time savings w/ our software can be huge. As well as payments getting 'lost' or not recorded doesn't become an issue anymore.

Good ideas.

#1 we have in place 2 similar systems to track maintenance per unit and rate your units by this number. And another report to be even more granular to the tenant level :)

#2 jiminy cricket, why didn't I think of that :P

Thanks for the input!

what features would you like to see for a landlord/manager?

It should for all banks that operate on the ACH network, which from my understanding, is all banks in the US.

Heh, input received.

+1 for you :P

:) you're the best!

Hey!

We are currently working with our merchant provider and our dev team to support Canada.

I can let you know ASAP of any updates. Just give us your email via rentpost.com/contact form.

thanks for the input :)

Awesome suggestions!

We haven't thought of the 2nd concept at all. I'll have to bring this one up to the guys.

thanks :)

About 1/3 of our city's population is students as well.

I have heard nightmare stories about 'Turn' taking weeks to complete because of the high turnover rates in our city.. As well as managers being at whits end 1/2 the time because of workload. We really tried to develop our software to ease these tensions. In some of the companies we have studied, we were able to reduce the workload of the company and reduce the stress.

And in doing so, hopefully we make a happier rental env for everyone :)

Thanks ryan.

This does bring up an interesting concept though we can look into... The ability to disable the work order functionality.

Thanks Dan :), and if you ever want go w/ us, just hit me up and we can work a special price up for you for your contribution - Lee

Good feedback.

Setting up tenants for an online account is optional. Heh, I wouldn't want to create more work either. However, if tenants are setup w/ an online account w/ rental collection online, the amount of paperwork would be slashed to a fraction. Every thing would automatically be digitized and collected, and your staff that normally collects the 800+ checks a month (400 units * 2 tenants) will have more time to sit at the local starbucks and browse hacker news :). Oh, and that is for non 'turn' months. 1000+ unit managers spend weeks during turn. We can turn those weeks into days :)

Hah, good point. Probably should add a plan w/o the online payments to cut down on the internal cost so we can push out a cheaper plan.. Heck even a freemium plan

heh, and looks like the MS word of software :P

Massive potential here.. Only real competitor in this field looks to be charging hundreds more a month min.

Yup, all my hedge fund friends that actually make money use it :p

for technical analysis: 1)World famous Dan Zanger (turned ~30k into 42 million in 2 years) http://chartpattern.com/

for options 1) cboe.com has the best online education around (free too).. including video cast and other media

2) option training: dan sheridan: http://www.sheridanmentoring.com/ , mark: http://www.option911.com/ both Dan and mark used to work w/ the najarien brother's in their huge market making firm on the CBOE.. both know their stuff backwords and forwards

yup for me too.. even their status.linode.com is down :P

congrats on the inheritance. Look into government TIPS: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/RI/OFNtebnd

However, I would suggest taking 1% of the inheritance and work on trying to increase this amount consistently more than 5%. Prove yourself with a small amount and gradually grow larger. Don't bury your talents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_talents_or_minas
