This presentation will focus on RentOptimum, new software developed by WinOptimum.com and longtime MassLandlords member Alex Narinsky. The platform combines Alex's experience with Airbnb and VRBO in the Boston metropolitan area. Alex pivoted his rental business to concentrate on long-term apartment shares, in some cases room-by-room rentals. We will review:
- Reasons why "apartment sharing" is in demand like never before.
- The policy framework in towns that regulate renting by the room and apartment sharing including Boston, Worcester, Newton, Arlington, Cambridge and more.
- Renovations landlords can make to increase the availability of rooms for rent.
- Is it a lodging house?
- Do I sign joint and several or separate agreements?
- How RentOptimum can help you manage longer-term room rentals.
Attendees will leave having seen Alex's software and given feedback. Attendees who subsequently try RentOptimum and give Alex feedback will have their service charges eliminated for one year. There is no expectation or requirement that anyone use the software. MassLandlords receives no affiliate commission for promoting RentOptimum. There is no sales pitch in terms of pricing or hidden conditions, Alex is just looking for people to try his platform and give feedback.
Part of this event will be presented by Alex Narinsky. Alex has been working as an engineer for many years in various fields (software, chemical engineering, applied mathematics). He began investing in real estate in 2001 and has expanded as a family business to several apartment buildings in Cambridge and Newton. Alex also produced several building renovation projects (Build Optimum). Alex is a licensed Professional Engineer and also holds several professional software certifications from Oracle, Microsoft and Amazon. In 2021 Alex joined the company WinOptimum as a Principal Software Engineer leading the rental applications.
You can volunteer for a future event.
Networking time will be moderated by Patrick Sullivan. Patrick has been an avid landlord since 2007 primarily focusing on multi families in the greater Worcester area. Having worked in high level IT his whole life he looks at things from a different perspective which he applies to real estate. He became a Real Estate agent in 2015 and now primarily focuses on Sober living facilities for people recently out of drug and alcohol treatment centers. Patrick sits on the statewide MassLandlords Board of Directors.
