Eliminate vacancy for residential property managers

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

We built Tenant Turner to automate the rental process for property managers. Our platform posts listings on major rental sites, pre-qualifies tenants through web, phone, and email, and lets managers schedule showings using leasing agents, lockboxes, or smart locks.

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

We live and work in Richmond, VA, and would continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Richmond because our team is local, and our early customers are mostly local property managers. We want to stay close to users and to our network.
