"Landlord Studio started as a private tool for me to have better insight and clarity around my first major property investment, after moving back home to New Zealand from London about two years ago. I couldn’t find anything that was specifically designed and built for someone like me, so I quickly put it together and put it up on the app store. Unexpected amounts of enquiry and feedback led me to take the product and develop it into a fully-fledged service."
"While there are small business accounting software tools out there, like Xero and Quickbooks, they’re not designed for individuals managing the finances of their rental properties, and can feel clunky and overly complex. On the other side of the scale, simply tracking income and expenses via a spreadsheet or more analogue methods, is time consuming and rudimentary. Landlord Studio is the only SaaS of its kind."
Charles Chan, CEO & Co-Founder of Landlord Studio
