Rentec Direct pricing and features

Rentec Direct has three plans: Starter at $25 a month for up to 10 properties, then Pro and PM priced per unit with a $45 monthly minimum on yearly billing. PM adds trust accounting, an owner portal and owner payouts. Below 20 units, and between about 60 and 115, it is the cheapest owner-ready plan we track.
