The rest of that week, on autopilot
Porter works the night shift, the morning shift, and the first of the month. You see decisions, not busywork.
Wednesday · 7:02 AM
You approved Hugo from bed.
By the time you woke up, Porter had triaged Maya’s water heater, queued three licensed plumbers, and gathered estimates. One tap to approve. Hugo was there by 10, and the ticket closed with photos and a receipt.
Wednesday · 9:02 AM
Routine stayed routine at Pine Cottage.
A jammed disposal is not an emergency, and Porter knows the difference. It classified the request, matched your preferred handyman, and sent you the estimate. Two taps. No contractor showed up unannounced, no invoice surprises.
Friday · 8:00 AM
June rent. Four doors. All collected.
Reminders went out on the 28th. Four accounts debited on the 1st. One tenant ran two days late; Porter applied the state-mandated grace period, logged it for your audit trail, and collected without a single phone call from you.
What Porter handles
The operational backbone of a small rental portfolio, for owners who manage 3–5 doors without a property manager.
Porter answers tenant messages around the clock, triages urgency, and logs every exchange. Emergencies reach you immediately. Routine questions get handled without waking you up.
Porter classifies every request, matches your preferred contractors by trade, gathers estimates, and sends you a dispatch request. No contractor moves without your explicit approval. Every job is logged with photos and receipts.
Porter collects rent via ACH on your lease schedule, applies grace periods and late fees per your state’s statutes, and deposits to your account. Every enforcement action generates an immutable Fair Housing Act audit trail.
Answers to your questions
What exactly is Porter? Is it a property management company?
No. Porter is an AI co-pilot for independent landlords. We automate the day-to-day work of property management — answering tenant texts, triaging maintenance, dispatching vetted contractors, collecting rent — while leaving you in full control. Think of it as a competent, round-the-clock assistant for your portfolio, without the 10% monthly fee of a traditional property manager.
Does Porter reply to tenants at 11 PM?
Yes. If a tenant texts at 11 PM about a leaky disposal or a rent question, Porter responds immediately, triages the issue, and logs it. Non-emergencies get a polite note that a contractor review happens in the morning. True emergencies — burst pipe, no heat — alert you instantly. Either way, you wake up to a resolved ticket or a clear action item, not a missed call.
How does Porter handle maintenance requests?
Porter classifies the urgency, diagnoses the likely cause, and matches the request to qualified local contractors in your network. It gathers estimates and sends you a dispatch request. No contractor moves without your explicit approval. For true emergencies, Porter alerts you immediately and follows pre-approved safety protocols.
Who are the contractors, and how are they vetted?
Porter works with local, licensed, and liability-insured professionals. Before any contractor joins the network, Porter verifies trade licenses, background checks, and reviews. After every job, you and the tenant rate the work — keeping the network quality high over time.
How does rent collection work?
Rent is collected via bank-to-bank ACH through Stripe. Tenants connect their bank account once; rent debits automatically on the lease schedule. Porter handles reminders, processes the payment, and deposits directly to your account. Built on NACHA and CFPB compliance guidelines.
How does Porter handle state-specific landlord laws?
Compliance is built into the core engine. Porter is pre-configured with landlord-tenant laws for California, Texas, New York, Oregon, and more — automatically capping late fees per state statute, enforcing grace periods, and generating an immutable Fair Housing Act audit trail for every enforcement action.
Porter launches soon.
