Websites and software · Union City, Tennessee
I’ve been in residential real estate for more than twenty years, and before that I worked in healthcare informatics. When the tool a job called for didn’t exist, or cost too much for a small operator, I designed my own. This is everything I’ve shipped, and most of it is running today.
6 live sites
Sites for my own companies, plus one for a small business close to home. I design and write each one, then build it and keep it running.
Landlord life, finally tamed.
The marketing site for my property management software. It explains the product to independent landlords in plain terms and walks through setup in four steps. Early access is open to landlords in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Hosted on Netlify
TameGuideHosted by Marlo
The content side of TameRent. Articles on the questions independent landlords actually ask, published inside the app and fronted by Marlo, the same AI assistant landlords meet in the product. New pieces go out to social media on a schedule.
Built with Next.js on Vercel, Claude API
I build with AI. Let’s build something for your business.
The site for my software consulting practice. Beyond the pitch, it takes orders for self-service business reports and handles client intake for custom work.
Built with Netlify Functions, Supabase, Resend
Everyone will advise you. Nobody else will write it.
The site for my compliance firm, which writes bids and grant proposals and keeps small water systems in compliance. Every desk has flat, published pricing, and there’s a plain list of the work we won’t take and why.
Balloon artistry, arranged like a garden in bloom
A site for a balloon and event decor studio in Union City. The owner posts her own work from a password-protected admin page, so new photos go up without waiting on me.
Built with Netlify Functions, Netlify Blobs
Equitable deals. Real outcomes. Twenty years running.
The site for my real estate company. It covers distressed property purchases, management and investor financing, and it sends anyone who wants to run numbers straight into the Deal Analyzer.
5 products
One product I’m building for every independent landlord, and the tools I built to run my own operations.
Property management software
I got tired of chasing rent through Venmo, Zelle and sticky notes, so I built the software I wished I had.
TameRent puts rent collection, leases, maintenance requests and the books for a rental portfolio in one place, with a portal for tenants. It’s priced for the small landlord: no monthly software fee when your tenants pay electronically.
tamerent.com| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rent | Bank transfer or card, with automatic late fees |
| Leases | Renewal and expiration alerts |
| Maintenance | Tenants file requests from their portal |
| Books | Rent by property on one dashboard |
| Messaging | Tenant conversations kept in one place |
| Marlo | An AI property management advisor, built in |
The AI assistant inside TameRent. A landlord can ask it a property management question and get a straight answer in plain English. An admin version answers my questions about the platform’s own data. I liked the personality enough that Marlo is now the starting point for the other agents I build.
Underwriting for fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold deals. Enter the numbers for a property and it returns profit, cash flow, cap rate, DSCR and the 70% rule price as you type. It works offline and installs on a phone. When a deal looks good, it carries the numbers straight into a financing quote.
Tracks rehab spending by property and by line item, from demo through exterior work. Snap a photo of a receipt and Claude reads it and pre-fills the entry for me to confirm. My contractor has a separate login with limited access, and a single file defines the categories for both the database and the app.
An order-to-delivery report product. It pulls a business’s Google listing and runs its website through PageSpeed, then turns the results into a branded report with a prioritized action plan. Reports go out within 48 hours, and I’ve hand-delivered them to local businesses around Union City.
3 more
Things I built for my own use, and the first product I ever shipped.
A weekly job that looks for the TameRent name across the web and keeps a running log of what it finds, with a digest at the end of each run. If a run fails, my phone gets a push notification.
A Chrome and Edge extension that saves threads and long-form articles from X as Markdown files, plus an iOS Shortcut that does the same from Safari’s share sheet.
Recruiting and scheduling software for my healthcare staffing company. It handled nurse and physician recruitment end to end, with background checks built in and open shifts offered to staff by text message. I plan to bring it back on a modern stack.
Method
I run a software project the way I run a rehab. I walk the job and write the scope before anything gets built, and I stay on it until it passes my own inspection.
The crew is what changed. AI writes most of the code now, so my time goes to the parts that decide whether anyone uses the thing: the workflow, the screens, the words on them, and testing against real work. I design each product and direct Claude Code through the build. That’s how one person keeps all of this running.
About
I’ve rehabbed and held residential property for more than twenty years. Since 2022 I’ve done it from Union City, in Obion County, through my company, Lael Properties.
Before real estate became my full-time work, I spent my career in healthcare informatics, and I owned a healthcare staffing company. That’s where I built my first real product, a recruiting and scheduling system called Staff Station.
Most of my time now goes to Reelfoot Compliance Group, where we write bids and grant proposals and help small water systems stay in compliance. TameRent is my long game. When another business needs software built, that work runs through TameBuild.AI.
What I’m best at is product design: working out what a busy owner needs on the screen and cutting the rest.
