The Thoughtful Landlord Toolkit

$79.00

For landlords who give a damn. Whether it’s your first rental property or your tenth. 

Whether you’re managing one rental property or a few, you’re not here to wing it. You want to stay organized, look legit, and create a great experience for your tenants.

But let’s be honest — landlording can be a lot. 

The Thoughtful Landlord Toolkit is everything we wish we had when we started. It’s your shortcut to running your rental business with less stress, more structure, and better tenant communication. 

This digital landlord toolkit was built by two small-scale landlords (that’s us) who were tired of sticky notes, clunky spreadsheets, and last-minute guesswork. 

It’s packed with rental templates, checklists, tracking tools, and communication guides we use in our own business to stay organized and keep great tenants happy.

Why it’s different

This toolkit is unique because it was developed by two real-life landlords, Krystle and Travis, who actually use it. We’re giving you the exact rental tools we use to stay organized, communicate clearly, and keep tenants happy. 

What makes it work:

  • Created by small landlords, not a big software company

  • Built in Google Drive, not some platform you’ll forget to log into

  • Designed for real-life rental situations

  • Customizable and actually useful

  • Made to grow with you, whether you have one rental or five


Why being a thoughtful landlord pays off

Running your rental like a business doesn’t mean treating tenants like transactions. In fact, the opposite is true. When tenants feel respected, supported, and clear on what to expect, they’re more likely to:

  • Stay longer

  • Pay on time

  • Communicate issues early

  • Take better care of the home

That adds up to fewer repairs, fewer turnovers, and more stable income. Good landlording is good business. 


Why this toolkit is worth it

We’ve already done the hard part — now you don’t have to. 

This toolkit is the result of months of real-life landlording. We couldn’t find one place that had everything we actually needed, so we built it. 

You could keep piecing together free templates and generic forms. Or you could use a system that’s been tested, refined, and used by two small-scale landlords who care about doing things right. 

Here’s what you’re really getting:

  • A complete rental management system organized in Google Drive

  • 30+ hours saved on setup, tracking, and communication

  • Rental property spreadsheets, editable templates, and step-by-step checklists

  • Professional tenant-facing materials that help you make a great first impression

  • A repeatable process that works across rentals, tax seasons, and tenants


The price?

Frequently asked questions

  • Everything is designed for free tools like Google Drive and Canva. You’ll just need a Gmail account to access the Google files, and a free Canva account to open and edit the welcome guide. You can use Canva in your browser or download the app.

  • After checkout, you’ll get a PDF with instant access to the full digital landlord toolkit. That PDF includes clickable links to everything — templates, spreadsheets, guides, and more. No shipping. No course to unlock. Just download and start using it.

  • The Tenant Welcome Guide is fully customizable in Canva. You can update the colors, fonts, text, and layout to match your property and your voice. Once you’ve edited the template, you can create as many versions as you want. Perfect for sending personalized guides to every tenant, now and in the future.

  • No. We don’t include lease paperwork in this toolkit. Every lease should follow your local laws, so we recommend using one provided by your property management platform, local housing authority, or a legal professional.

    Inside the toolkit, we share the online platform we use to handle lease signing, rent collection, and tenant screening. It works alongside everything we’ve built to keep things simple and professional.

  • It’s especially helpful if you’re just getting started or feeling disorganized. We built it for ourselves because we couldn’t find a simple, repeatable system that worked. If you want tools that make landlording clearer and less chaotic, this will help — whether it’s your first tenant or your fifth.

  • Your purchase is for personal use only. If another landlord you know would benefit from the toolkit, we’d love it if you sent them our way.

  • No. We’re not lawyers. This toolkit is for informational purposes only and should be used alongside your lease and local laws.

  • This version is yours to keep forever. If we build new tools down the road, we’ll let you know where to find them.

  • Definitely. These tools are made to be reused for every property and every tenant. You just follow the same system each time — copy the folder structure, use the tracker again, and create new versions of the welcome guide for each tenant. It’s designed to scale with you as your rentals grow.

  • You don’t need to be. This is an easy landlord toolkit designed to work with free tools like Google Drive and Canva. If you can open a folder and fill in a form, you’re good. And if you get stuck, we’re here to help.

  • This toolkit was created for U.S.-based landlords and works alongside your existing lease and rental agreements. It’s not legal advice or a replacement for local requirements, so always double-check your city and state laws to make sure you're covered.
