Membership tiers (Pro / Pro+ style) for education & tools
- BiggerPockets sells community and investor education; Pro-style memberships are a separate monthly/annual spend.
- Calculator and investing tools do not replace a lease document vault and rent ledger.
- Worth it for learning—still not your tenant-facing portal.
Why that stings for small landlords: Paying for education memberships does not buy free lease e-sign and online rent collection for your doors.

What JustLease is
- Dead-simple lease and rent portal
- Free digital document signing included (not a paid add-on)
- Free for tenants
- Landlords: $9.99/mo for 5 units, then $1.99/unit
- Online rent via Stripe with no JustLease markup on processing
- No frills, no upsell store, no enterprise complexity
When to use both
Many owners still use listing sites, education communities, or a full PMS for other jobs. JustLease is the thin layer for signed leases, e-sign, and rent after you have a tenant—especially if you only own a few doors and do not want to pay full PMS money for that job.
