Fund safety auditor for residential property managers

The problem

Residential property managers and small landlords using apps like RentRedi, Innago, RentCafe, and Zillow Rental Manager experience recurring fund theft, deposit withholding, slow processing, and zero visibility into payment reconciliation. Reviews show $4k+ stolen in single incidents, multi-day processing delays, funds held without explanation, and no way to audit whether deposits actually reach bank accounts. Incumbent apps offer no proactive fraud detection, anomaly alerting, or fund-flow audit trail—only reactive support that comes too late.

Who has it: Independent residential property managers and small landlord syndicates (50–500 units across 1–20 properties) in the US using third-party rental payment platforms.

Why now: Residential property management is shifting to digital payment rails (deposit collection, rent processing, payouts) but the apps themselves have no embedded fund-safety layer. Fraud is accelerating as more money flows through weaker platforms. Landlords are desperate for a third-party verification system that sits between their properties and payment apps—a trust layer they can audit independently.
