OP: interested to hear the story behind this. Did you come across a landlord who needed these problems solved, or are you one yourself? How many users do you have?
Getting people an extra 7-10% out of their investment is no small feat. I live in a country (Australia) where the major cities are, in my opinion, slowly transitioning from primarily-owned to primarily-rented housing. That's a lot of property management money coming into circulation!
There is a lot of value to be captured if you can provide a better service than a property manager at a real estate chain... but those people are likely to be much better at handling worst-case scenarios involving bad tenants.
