which is pretty much how I used to get things done but with a notebook. it's v1.0 and very simple but the simplicity is on purpose (all other todo apps require a bunch of clicks to add a task!)
feedback is appreciated.
PS: don't sue me Marc, I checked the trademark for pmarca and doesn't exist, also the real name of the app is pmarca productivity porn aka PPP
In my experience the price is always the same, the house never loses. If the landlord paid the broker fee then they put that amount amortized in the rent, if not then the tenant pays the broker fee but the monthly rent is “cheaper”
In cities like NYC is common for a landlord to own 8-9 buildings with multiple units, they tend to be older and don’t want to deal with tenants, so they hire property management offices, their work is simply to rent the place and maintain the place. To maintain the place they hire a super and to rent the place they get brokers that “volunteer” to bring them quality leads. They get paid by the tenants an unofficial broker fee that amounts to 10-15% the total annual rent. It has worked so far for the landlords and the demand mostly pay the price
Agree, but I provide incentives to the supply (landlords/property mgrs) to use my app/accept my leads. I will not mention more details because it the “secret sauce”
The landlords in NYC don’t like to do anything so they hire property managers, and those are approached by brokers/agents that work for “free” and bring leads to them. In reality whoever brings a solid lead to the property manager wins. I have rented all my apts without paying broker fees by finding who’s the property manager, called them directly, and sign a contract at their offices. Of course I have good credit/finances. I just automated that manual process in software
This is good feedback, I code faster in swift so i decided to build the mvp there, also apartment hunters like me to tend to scroll through listings to see if there is something better out there.
The fee is always paid. No Fee = paid by landlord. Usually those no fees are non desirable units (lack of light, etc). In my case tenants pay a transaction fee (3%), lower compared to 15% that brokers charge. I just provide financial validation, a non bias system (software is unbiased, brokers are biased), a digital contract and I provide the lead to the landlord
I recently launched an app to rent in NYC without paying silly broker fees. Just find a listing, apply, we validate your financials, create the contract and send the lead to the lanlord/property manager.
If you’re looking to rent in NYC give it a try and give me some feedback.
I’m also looking for a cofounder, either technical (so I can focus more on sales/ops) or sales (so I can focus in tech)
MatchMerry lets you date anonymously without revealing your identity.
All faces get blurred for all posted pictures.
Of course you can eventually reveal your identity via a video or in person date setup programmatically within the app.
we also took the liberty to determine a match rating, so users don't waste time trying to meet up somebody they're not compatible with, but of course you can prove us wrong, we just want you to save time
