Owner Autopilot connects to your PMS and turns every monthly statement into a clear, plain-English owner brief — payout math explained, maintenance explained, lease status included — reviewed by you before anything goes out. Fewer "why is my payout short?" emails. Fewer termination letters you never saw coming.
Get early access →Built with founding PM companies now. First 20 companies lock in $99/mo for life — and get a direct line to the founder.
"Why isn't my payout the same as the rent?" "What's this $340 line?" Every answer means digging through the PMS — the work order, the invoice, the ledger — and writing the same explanation, owner by owner, month after month.
The owner never complained. They just stopped understanding what they were paying for — and one day a letter arrived. Now their doors, and their monthly fees, belong to someone else.
Maybe your biggest owners get a hand-written quarterly note. The other 90? They hear from you when the statement lands — or when something breaks. That silence is where churn grows.

Honest math: doors lost × your revenue per door × 12. The industry sources most often cited put average owner churn around 20%/year — well-run companies get under 10%. Not every lost door is saveable (sales and 1031s happen). But the ones that left confused or unheard? Those were yours to keep.
Want fewer of those letters? →Native API where the PMS offers one (Rentvine, Buildium, DoorLoop, Rent Manager). On AppFolio, we use its built-in Scheduled Reports: a one-time setup that sends your saved reports to Owner Autopilot automatically — no API access needed, works on every AppFolio plan. Read-only, always: we never write to your PMS.
Alongside the raw statement: a branded, plain-English Owner Brief — the payout walked through ("rent came in, this went to maintenance, here's why the number is what it is"), maintenance events explained, lease status, year-to-date picture. The numbers are computed directly from your PMS data; the writing is drafted around them. You review and approve before anything is sent.
A big work order closes, a lease renews, a delinquency turns — Owner Autopilot drafts a short explanatory note for that owner, ready for one-click send. And when an owner emails a question, the reply assistant drafts an answer from that owner's own data, in your company's voice.
Your PMS stays the system of record. Owner Autopilot does one job: it keeps your owners informed so they stay your owners. Keep AppFolio. Keep Buildium. Keep your workflow.
At a typical ~$200/mo revenue per door, keeping two doors a year pays for Growth twice over. Do the math →
Yes. AppFolio doesn't open its API to everyone, so we use its built-in Scheduled Reports feature instead: you set your saved reports to email themselves to Owner Autopilot on a schedule — a one-time, ~30-minute setup we walk you through. It's the same route other established AppFolio-adjacent tools use. Native APIs are used for Rentvine, Buildium (Growth/Premium), DoorLoop and Rent Manager.
Read-only access, always — we never write to your PMS and we never touch funds. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold or shared, and deleted on request when you leave. Straight answer on certification: SOC 2 is on our roadmap, not a badge we claim yet — founding companies will get our current security practices in writing before connecting anything.
No — because the AI never produces the numbers. Every figure in a brief is computed deterministically from your PMS data and placed by code; the AI only writes the explanation around numbers that are already fixed. And nothing goes to an owner until you've approved it.
At the start, yes — and that's deliberate. Your owners' trust is the product, so the first months run with approval required on everything. Once you trust the output, you decide what goes on autopilot and what still crosses your desk.
Fair. Two honest differences: PMS AI is usually gated to top-tier plans, and it lives and dies inside that PMS — switch systems and your owner communication history resets. Owner Autopilot is PMS-agnostic: your briefs, tone and owner history come with you.
