From one duplex to five hundred doors.
Rentomatic didn't start as a property management company. It started because Madhu was tired of paying hundreds a month to his own manager to do basically nothing.
The annoyed-landlord moment.
Madhu owned rental properties in Sandy. His property manager had missed a leak, misfiled a deposit, and raised the rate "for inflation." He did the math: he was paying thousands a year for inbox-forwarding. That was the last straw.
First ten doors, friends only.
Madhu built a simple management stack — software for the boring parts, a Sandy contractor network, a flat-fee promise — and managed 10 doors for friends at cost. He told his friends.
Hit one hundred doors.
Hired a second full-time manager, Tim. Moved out of a home office into our Sandy space at 9565 S 700 E. Added Provo and SLC coverage.
Expanded across the valley.
Lehi and Draper came online as Silicon Slopes rentals exploded. Crossed 250 doors managed. Started the quarterly owner newsletter.
Five hundred doors.
Now 500+ doors across 17 Utah cities. 10 full-time people. Average owner saves $2,400/yr vs. 12% managers. Still $159/mo. Still Sandy-based.
What's next.
We're rolling out a new owner portal, expanding small-multifamily coverage (up to 12 units), and staying exactly what we are: a Sandy company that charges one honest fee.
