Ziprent

What Ziprent does

Ziprent is a technology-enabled property management company that provides flat-rate residential rental management services to individual landlords and small real estate investors across 18 US states. The company manages 4,546 units and has completed 9,848 tenant placements, 201,190+ on-demand showings, and processed $591M+ in rent through its platform. Ziprent's two core offerings are a recurring property management subscription ($150/month for the first unit, $100/month for each additional) and a one-time tenant placement service ($1,500 per lease signed), with an optional ZipGuarantee premium tier ($250/month) for high-turnover landlords.

The platform is built around several proprietary technology components. The ZipScore system ingests credit, income, rental history, and background data to score and recommend qualified applicants. An on-demand showing system uses smart lockbox technology with IP and phone verification to enable self-service property viewings. Automated lease generation produces jurisdiction-specific (city, county, state) contracts based on property and tenant parameters. An owner dashboard delivers real-time P&L, rent rolls, maintenance status, lease documents, and year-end 1099 tax forms. The company integrates Plaid for ACH bank verification and syndicates listings same-day to 20+ real estate platforms including Zillow, Trulia, Hotpads, Zumper, Redfin, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and Apartments.com.

The business model combines subscription revenue with transaction-based fees. Marketing and customer acquisition run through direct-to-consumer channels — the company website, SEO-optimized city landing pages, content marketing (blog), comparison pages against competitors such as Doorstead, Mynd, and Belong, customer reviews across Google (4.6 stars, 429 reviews), BBB, Yelp, Trustpilot, and Zillow, plus a referral program paying $350 per conversion. The company sells direct via self-service signup supplemented by an inside sales team for larger landlords. Founded by Arvand Sabetian (an active real estate investor who personally owns 100+ units managed by the platform) alongside co-founder/COO Nick Bokaie, Ziprent is privately held and bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding or M&A activity.

Emerging players

• TurboTenant: TurboTenant is a free/affordable property management platform for DIY landlords and small-portfolio owners. It overlaps with Ziprent on the SMB landlord customer base but is software-led (listings, screening, rent collection) rather than full-service management.
• Roofstock: Roofstock is a marketplace for buying and selling single-family rental properties, with an integrated property management arm. It overlaps with Ziprent on the managed-asset side but adds an investment marketplace, positioning it as an adjacent peer for portfolio landlords.
• FirstKey Homes: FirstKey Homes is a large institutional operator of single-family rental homes backed by Pretium Partners. It overlaps with Ziprent on the managed single-family rental category but serves institutional owners at much larger scale rather than SMB landlords.

Direct peers

• Poplar: Poplar is a residential property management platform targeting individual landlords and small investors. Named as a direct competitor on Ziprent's comparison pages, with comparable service offerings and SMB landlord customer base.
• Belong: Belong is a tech-enabled residential property management company offering full-service management for single-family and small multifamily rentals. Named as a direct competitor on Ziprent's comparison pages, with a comparable tech-forward, customer-experience-driven positioning.
• Doorstead: Doorstead is a tech-enabled property manager that offers guaranteed-rent services to single-family rental landlords. It is one of the named direct competitors on Ziprent's comparison pages, operating in the same long-term residential PM category with similar target SMB landlords.
• Mynd: Mynd is a property management platform focused on single-family rental and small multifamily properties, serving individual landlords and small investors. Directly cited as a competitor on Ziprent's comparison pages, with comparable tech-enabled positioning and similar target customers.

Others

• Offerpad: Offerpad is a direct-to-consumer real estate platform enabling home buyers and sellers to transact quickly. While adjacent in residential real estate technology, it does not compete directly in property management but is thematically related as a proptech disruptor.

Broad incumbents

• AppFolio: AppFolio is an established property management software platform serving residential and commercial portfolios. It is a broader incumbent in the same category, providing the software backbone many traditional PM firms run on, but does not offer the full-service layer Ziprent provides.
• Buildium: Buildium is a leading property management software platform serving small to mid-sized landlords and property managers. It overlaps with Ziprent on landlord services but is software-only rather than a full-service manager, making it a broader incumbent rather than a direct substitute.
