Brooks Baskin, CEO. 2B Living manages 5,100 single-family, multifamily and commercial units. Bi-annual inspections on top of move-ins and move-outs had outgrown pen and paper, and inspections were getting missed. Residents now do them, synced with AppFolio, without adding headcount.

CUSTOMER STORY · ~68,000 HOMES ON RENTCHECK

From 20% to 75%.

Progress paid a third-party service $150 an inspection, and only 1 in 5 got done. Residents didn't respond, or wouldn't let the inspector in. So they built a resident-led Home Health Check and sent it to the homes they hadn't seen.
