The playbook for a rental finder

Where a rental finder's clients come from: renters comparing units and landlords adding a unit, reading the town's rental rules and the records for each address.

The kind of business: Rental finders and scouts. Page reviewed 4 Nov 2026.

Where clients come from

  1. Searching and financing

    Renters comparing units read the town's rental licensing and short-term rental rules and the records for each address. The rental check reads one address; the rental comparison reads up to ten side by side.

  2. Adding a unit or renting it out

    Landlords adding a unit read the extra-unit rules and the rental licensing by city.

OfferDue's tools for this work

Each is sold once, at a flat price that is the same for every business; none is billed monthly. One that is not open to buy yet says so on its page.

What OfferDue does and doesn't do with this business:

  • Listing is free and shows in the order businesses were checked: no business pays for a place, a label or an order on any page.
  • OfferDue takes no fee for a client who finds a listed business, and pays none to anyone for a client.
  • OfferDue's pages say what each record shows and where it comes from: never legal, financial, insurance or inspection advice.

Public-record information, not legal, financial, insurance or inspection advice. A listing on OfferDue is not a recommendation; check licences and references yourself.
