Our Story

One Platform for Owners and Managers

Porchyard was born from a simple frustration: running rentals meant juggling separate spreadsheets, inboxes, and bank statements, and owners and managers never saw the same picture of the books.

How It Started

Like many landlords, our founders started with a single rental property and a simple spreadsheet. One property became three, then ten. The spreadsheet grew into a tangled web of tabs, formulas, and color-coded rows that only one person could understand.

Bank statements piled up. Receipts got lost. Vendor invoices sat in email inboxes. And when tax season arrived, it meant weeks of reconciliation, manual data entry, and the nagging fear that something was missed.

We looked at the existing tools and found they were either built for massive property management companies with hundreds of units, or they were too simple to handle the real complexity of managing a growing portfolio. There was nothing in between.

So we built Porchyard: one platform for the people who run rentals. Owners, landlords, and property managers get the tools they need in a single, cohesive experience, instead of scattered tools that do not talk to each other.

Our Mission

Give everyone who runs a rental, from solo landlords to property managers and the owners they work for, a cohesive experience, so every relationship runs smoother and less time is lost to busywork.

Simplicity First

Every feature we build must make your life simpler, not add another thing to learn. If it takes more than a few clicks, we go back to the drawing board.

Trust & Security

Your financial data deserves strong protection. We encrypt data in transit with TLS 1.3 and encrypt your documents and backups at rest, and because you import your transactions from CSV files, Porchyard never needs your bank login.

Built for Owners and Managers

Landlords, owners, and property managers each get tools made for them, working together in one shared place. When everyone is in sync, the whole relationship gets easier.

What We Believe

1

Every relationship deserves great tools

Landlords, owners, and property managers should all have a first-class experience, not an afterthought bolted onto software built for someone else.

2

Automation beats busywork

Every hour you spend on manual data entry is an hour you could spend finding your next deal, improving a property, or spending time with family. We automate the tedious stuff.

3

Transparency builds trust

Simple pricing, clear data policies, and honest communication. We tell you exactly what we do with your data, how much things cost, and what to expect.

4

Automation should save you time

We automate repetitive tasks like recurring owner invoicing so you can focus on your portfolio. But the decisions are always yours.
