Good luck with that. Most professional landlords would not contemplate managing a property themselves. To think that Rnt will end up in the same league as REA is hilarious to anyone within the industry. How are you proposing that Rnt will conduct valuations? All the things you list below would mean Rnt becoming an agency. And to use uber as a comparison ....well enough said.... Maybe you should look at the last company that tried to disrupt the rental market a company by the name of runcorp.......listed at $1 and how low did they go..... Maybe around 1c from memory. And who was the CEO of that company..... Do some research.

You are dealing with a tiny segment of the market unfortunately.]I don't think agents are the main game here - they just provide a nice annuity as per the REA model (and they aren't going away anytime soon).

I see the true disruption (not that I like that term) will be connecting renters and landlords directly, cutting out the cost of the middle men by providing those services or helping link/manage all those services such as payments, rent valuations, bonds, marketing, viewing and inspections, rental history, property management etc.

This is where the market growth should come, in the same way that Uber cuts out Cabcharge.
