Military landlords don’t have it easy.
One day you’re loading up your gear for deployment. The next, you’re on a video call about a broken water heater in your rental three time zones away. You’ve got tenants texting about late rent, neighbors calling about noise, and somewhere in the middle, you’re trying to serve your country.
At RentRisk, we understand that kind of chaos. Not just because we work with military landlords every day, but because we are military landlords. This business started with family, service, and the kind of lived experience that turns frustration into something useful. Helping the military community isn’t just a feature. It’s the reason we exist.
Built on Real-World Experience
RentRisk was founded by Rich and Angie McDaniel, a husband-and-wife team who know the landlord’s life inside and out. While Rich served in the Navy, Angie handled the family’s rental properties back home. She was the one taking late-night calls, dealing with maintenance issues, and keeping everything on track even when Rich was stationed far away.
They quickly realized that small landlords, especially military families like theirs, didn’t have the right tools or support. Big platforms were built for large property firms, not for people managing a few rentals from a base or a living room.
So Rich and Angie decided to build what they wished they’d had. RentRisk was born out of service, experience, and the drive to make renting less risky for landlords who do it all. From day one, it’s been a platform made for people like them, and people like you.
Military Landlords Face Real Challenges
Let’s be honest. Managing a rental is never smooth sailing. But for military landlords, it can feel like a full-blown storm.
You might not even be in the same country as your rental property. You can’t drive by to check things out. And when something breaks or a tenant acts up, you’re depending on shaky Wi-Fi or a late-night call to fix it. On top of that, you might be dealing with a PCS move, a temporary assignment, or trying to transition back to civilian life.
We’ve seen how complicated it can get. Late rent, emergency repairs, lease violations. It all adds up. That’s why RentRisk is built for landlords who need real support. We don’t make things harder. We make them easier.
Tools That Actually Work for You
RentRisk is all about keeping it simple. You don’t need a degree in property law or a tech team to manage your rentals. You just need tools that work the way you do.
Start with tenant screening. We use Experian to pull credit, criminal, and eviction records. We also use Plaid to verify income and identity, which helps you avoid fraud and protect your property. Military landlords can feel confident about who they’re renting to, even if they’re on the other side of the world.
Next is rent collection. Tenants pay directly through Plaid, and the funds go straight into your account. You don’t have to wait, wonder, or chase. Both landlords and tenants get reminders and receipts automatically. Everything is clear, simple, and real-time.
We also offer access to landlord insurance through our partner, Steadily. It’s fast, it’s designed for landlords, and it covers things like damage, liability, and even lost rent. If a pipe bursts while you’re away, you’re covered.
And yes, we support tenants too. Our optional renter’s insurance helps tenants protect their belongings. That reduces disputes and brings more professionalism to your lease agreement. It’s a win for everyone involved.
Why Supporting Military Landlords Matters So Much
This isn’t just business for us. It’s personal.
There are thousands of military landlords across the country who are doing their best to build a future for their families. They’re serving their country while also trying to manage rental properties, deal with tenants, and protect their investments. Most big rental platforms ignore that reality.
We don’t.
We see you. We’ve been you. And that’s why we’ve stayed committed to helping the military landlord community. Whether you own one unit or ten, you deserve tools that work and support that makes sense.

Built with You in Mind
We aren’t a huge tech company with a complicated dashboard. RentRisk is easy to set up, easy to use, and made for small landlords who don’t have time for fluff.
No subscriptions. No long onboarding. Just simple tools that help you screen tenants, collect rent, and protect your investment.
Everything we’ve built was tested and used by real military families. We’ve dealt with time zone challenges, emergency repairs from afar, and tenants who seemed perfect until they weren’t. We took those lessons and built the kind of platform we wish we’d had from the start.
If you’re managing property while serving or supporting someone who is, we’d be honored to help. Because when military landlords win, everyone wins.
