Hey guys. Long time lurker and first time poster.<p>I currently have a San Francisco roommate matching site (think Grouper but for housing) called BunkSF.com. While working on Bunk I have noticed that people searching for housing are having to fill out multiple rental applications at $30 bucks a piece. It seemed crazy to me because each application is asking for the same info. Because of this, I created myRentr.com.<p>The idea of myRentr.com is like the common college application but for apartments. Users buy our application for $30 (this may change) and we do the background check, employment check and credit check. Afterwards we put all the info in a nice little document (also includes photo, social media links, and personal blurp) so the user can give the application to whoever they choose.<p>We have also created a Craigslist Widget, so people who have spare rooms and are posting on CL can ask that their potential applications bring a completed app. It seems crazy to me that property companies spend the time to run their tenant's credit when it would be much easier to ask the tenant to bring a completed app to the showing.<p>Any feedback/criticism would be wonderful! Thanks for you time
This looks fantastic. I live in a duplex, and I would most definitely consider using this when my tenants move out and I have to find new ones.<p>How do you plan to make a good profit? It seems like you not only have to maintain a website, but also do a bunch of schlepping for each $30. So much so, that I'd happily spend $30 to avoid it.
