20 years in real estate. Now with AI leverage.
I'm Jeff Goddard. Before I built software, I built a real estate portfolio: over 20 years of fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold investing through Lael Properties in West Tennessee. Everything I build, I build to solve my own problems first, starting with TameRent.

Built by an investor, not a vendor
I'm not pitching real estate software I've never used. I built this to run my own portfolio, and Lael Properties is the proving ground behind all of it.
01
TameRent
A full property management platform: rent collection, tenant communication, e-signature workflows, and a three-tier billing engine. Built to handle everything I was already doing by hand as a landlord myself.

Lael Properties Deal Analyzer ↗
A full underwriting tool my contractor and I both use to evaluate deals before we buy: cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, DSCR, and 70%-rule targets for flips, plus a soft-quote financing request with no hard credit pull. Works offline as a PWA and runs the same numbers I've underwritten with for 20 years.

Lael Properties
The real estate operation behind everything above. Twenty-plus years of buying, renovating, holding, and managing property in West Tennessee, the track record this whole business is built on top of.
Ongoing since 2000sThree phases, in order
Most engagements start with a look at how your portfolio actually runs today, then move into building the piece that saves you the most time.
Portfolio Audit
One conversation about how you currently collect rent, screen tenants, analyze deals, and handle paperwork. You walk away with a concrete plan for where AI actually saves you time or money.
Implementation Sprint
Get set up on TameRent, a custom deal analyzer, an automated tenant screening flow, or whatever the audit points to. Built and working, not just recommended.
Ongoing Partnership
A monthly arrangement to keep improving what's built as your portfolio grows: more units, more deals, more complexity.
You know real estate. I know both sides.
- Landlords & property managers still chasing rent and paperwork by hand
- Fix-and-flip & buy-and-hold investors who want faster, sharper deal analysis
- Real estate agents & brokerages curious about AI but unsure where to start
