Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

All-in-one real estate marketplace for Latin America

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

Houm is a platform that helps landlords in Latin America find tenants, collect rent, and manage their properties from a single place. Our product combines listing, tenant screening, rent collection, and property management into one integrated system tailored to Latam markets.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Santiago, Chile, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

This is where our market and user base are. We understand the local real estate dynamics and legal frameworks best, so it makes sense to build here while expanding across Latam.
