Newly and Improved RentersQ, Coming Soon!

In the last few months, we’ve been busy, redesigning RentersQ, and later on this year, we plan to unveil the newly redesigned and improved RentersQ with more cool features and tools designed to make your rental experience more efficient and seamless simple.

We’ve added new features and tools such as RentersQ Valuation, a new and patent pending tool, designed to provide free rental market rate valuation, combined with the RentersQ proprietary residential community rating technology, for the millions of apartments and houses for rent in most areas around the world in order to enable you to easily learn more about each specific community and its rental market rate at the point of your rental housing search anytime, anywhere.

We’ve taken all your feedback, which we greatly appreciate, and combine it with our core technology to improve RentersQ. In doing so, we hope and plan to make RentersQ the place for you to check before you sign a lease agreement to rent anywhere in the world at any anytime.

We value and appreciate your comment and feedback. Please stay tuned for our newly redesigned RentersQ.

Regards,
Jeff Tate, General Manager, RentersQ, LLC.

Tenants from Hell, Slum Landlords, and Run Down Rental Houses

So, you’ve been working for years, you’ve saved up some money, and you’ve decided to invest it in a more secure market, the myth of unsinkable real estate investment, by buying certain residential properties, houses or an apartment complex, in order to generate some steady, passive income, so you think.

You spend additional money, let’s say $45,000, improving the property; you paint it, put in new carpets, new kitchen cabinets, washer and dryer, and everything else, hoping to entice your prospective tenants. So, you’ve bought some ads in your local newspapers, and little did you know, you’ve finally found someone who’s willing to sign your lease agreement.

Now that he or she has moved in, you don’t have to worry about fixing stuff inside the property, because everything was new and in super working condition when your tenant first moved in.

You’re now reaping the benefits, just as you’ve planned it. Your tenant pays the rent on time each month; so you have nothing to worry about. The money is good, right? Yeah, right. A few months later, the police is called for domestic disputes at your property, but no big deal, right? Right! A few more months, the neighbors complain about loud music from your property, but it’s okay, no biggie.

The time goes by real fast, sooner than you thought, the lease comes to an end, and it’s time for him or her to move out, and you go do the final walk through, inspecting the property. To your surprise, the house is a mess, it looks like a zoo, there’re holes in the walls, the carpet looks nasty and filthy, the new kitchen you had renovated is gone, the walls are red-and-brown from cigarette smoke, and everything in the house needs to be replaced.

Wow, what went wrong? He or she always looked clean, drives a nice car, and paid his or her rent on time. So, what went wrong? You’ve charged the fair market price value, let’s say $3,450 a month in rent, plus a deposit of one month’s rent, that’s $44,850 a year, and that’s good, right? Right!

After your tenant has moved out, you called up your contractor to give you an estimate of how much it will cost to fix up the property and get it ready for the next tenant. The quote your contractor brought you is in the amount of, let’s say $56,940, that’s how much it’s going to cost you to fix up the property, again, in order to make it ready for the next move-in.

But that’s $11,940 more than what you’ve initially put in, so did you make any money from your first year of rental property? Then, what went wrong? What is it that you did or didn’t do before signing the lease agreement? But you checked his or her credit report, and he or she had great FICO scores? Then why? But you’ve also checked his or her prior rental history with the former landlord?

Yes, you did, except, it was not as a detailed rental history report as it was supposed to be. RentersQ™ (http://www.rentersq.com) makes all that painless possible, so you know exactly whom you’re renting to, before you rent.

RentersQ provides the RentersQ Record, a patent pending web-based comprehensive and innovative rental history reports which may contain complete and personalized rental history, tenant screening, and prior rental report for every tenant from anywhere in the world.

The RentersQ Record is easy to use and the best of it all, it’s fast and free. It helps you get to know your tenants, any tenant, in great detail; it even warns you if the tenant smokes, makes excess and unwanted noise, reveals his or her housekeeping habits, personal characteristics and behavioral traits towards other tenants.

So, be smart, be well-informed, next time you rent to anyone anywhere, just run a RentersQ Record, get to know your next tenant better, before you rent, it’s easy, safe, free, and fast.

a Cool New Joint-Venture

Tip-Mart is joining forces with a really cool IT company in Southeast Asia to launch a really cool joint venture.

We are re-assigning all of our programmers and only a few of them will be working to complete the rest of the current sites, but the majority of them are being assigned to a new venture. Shhhh, it’s secret. Oops, did we say this venture is poised to generate over $500 million a month within just 18 months? Oops, the secret is almost out…!

This is not a social networking site, too much junk and the social networking industry is over saturated, crowded, and will burst soon, just like Web 1.0.

We try to stay out of this Web 2.0 frenzy, and rather focus on actual viable business ventures that may possibly see, an IPO, unlike these social networking sites which are surely headed the down spiral curve.

Advertisement revenue based alone without any other sources of income can generate so much in ad revenue, but will they really help pay your salary, and cover your operating costs in the long run, profitably, in order for you to stay in business?

Any way, we are working on one, the most exciting venture yet, due to go live in September 2007. Stay tuned…!

JAQQ, the ultimate online survey site

Our goal at Tip-Mart is to create innovative tools that add efficiency to industry, anywhere.

One of the ginormous problems currently facing most Internet users who just want to do work from the comfort of their homes and still earn a better living is finding the best “surveys sites”, where they can do surveys online and still get paid good money for it.

There’re many online survey sites, but what we have discovered is that most online surveys take too long to complete a simple survey and the pay is awful. One can do a survey which may take an hour to complete for just a measly awful $5 or less per survey, for the whole hour.

We have a better solution. Since March 2007, we have been working on a site, JAQQ, due to debut this fall. See the two screen shots below;

Our patent pending platform will allow users to do feedback reviews on many different products as posted by product owners, for just under 3 minutes to complete every feedback review and get paid instantly the shown reward amount.

Registered users will be able to do as many feedback reviews on many different products and services as they want, anytime, anywhere, and get paid the shown reward amount per each feedback ratings.

JAQQ will be free for users to join and use the site. Stay tuned for more info about JAQQ.

RentersQ Record, Just Another System You Have To Worry About?

Okay, so you already have enough to worry about, in addition to what’s already happening in your daily life, and now you have to worry about another credit reporting system.

If you want to open a credit card or account at your local bank or store, then you have to worry about your credit report and scores by the big three; TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.

And then if you want to open a new checking or savings account at your local bank, you have to worry about what’s listed about you in ChexSystems, which may prevent you from opening your new bank account.

And when you go to your local grocery store to buy some groceries, then you have to worry about if the check that you’re about to write to pay for your groceries will pass CheckCare. More and more stuff have been and are constantly being added, just to make your life more boring, yet miserable.

And now, here comes RentersQ, just another system to worry about when renting or leasing, any residential housing, anywhere.

All other reporting systems as noted above are not as detailed as RentersQ when coming to personal data reporting such as housekeeping habits, personality types and everything else on top of that.

So, what else is next? We’re not done yet, the most intriguing is yet to come, stay tuned…!
