I built property management software. Can I mention it once in a helpful comment?
No. Rule “No self-promo.” covers software products explicitly, so a founder post about your own tool will be removed.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Be decent.: This is a professional forum. Be good.
- No self-promo.: Refrain from promoting your software products, real estate, vendor services, etc.
- No AI Slop.: Use your own brain. Use your own words.
- No data farming.: Do not solicit free advice for developing software, startup ideas, programs, etc. You are welcome to create posts to collect data in r/pptymgmtsoftware or use an adjacent real estate subreddit that permits this.
- No software advertisements.: No software advertisements. You are welcome to share these to r/pptymgmtsoftware instead.
- Use r/pptymgmtsoftware for all PM software matters.: We make an effort to keep this sub free from software advertisements, data farming, and overall discussion for a more pleasant & consistent user experience. Please limit posts about software to r/pptymgmtsoftware.
- Tag NSFW: Tag your NSFW photos as NSFW appropriately
Works well
- A question post about a real operational problem, like handling a difficult maintenance situation or screening tenants, written plainly in your own words.
- A firsthand story about a lesson you learned managing property, with no product mentioned anywhere in the post or your comments.
- A genuine discussion starter about day to day work, like how people organize vendor relationships or handle late rent conversations.
- Thoughtful comments on other people's threads where you share experience purely to help, with no link and no brand name.
- If you want feedback on your software, the same idea posted in r/pptymgmtsoftware instead, which the rules point to directly.
Avoid
- Promoting your software, real estate listings, or vendor services in any post or comment under “No self-promo.”.
- Posting anything written with AI tools, which violates “No AI Slop.” and gets content removed on sight.
- Asking the community for feedback, feature ideas, or survey answers to shape your product or startup under “No data farming.”.
- Slipping a link or brand name for your property management tool into a question post, which trips “No software advertisements.”.
- Trying to debate where software talk belongs, since “Use r/pptymgmtsoftware for all PM software matters.” already answers that.
- Being rude or unprofessional, since “Be decent.” sets a professional bar for everyone.
What r/PropertyManagement Is For
This is a community for property managers, their team members, renters, vendors, and landlords. The public description invites people to build community, ask for advice, start a discussion, or just say hi. The rules frame it as a professional forum, so the tone is working people in the property world talking shop. It is not a place to sell anything to that audience, and the moderators keep it that way.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules here are unusually explicit about what a founder cannot do. “No self-promo.” bans promoting your software products, real estate, and vendor services, which covers most marketing posts outright. “No software advertisements.” repeats that point for software, and “Use r/pptymgmtsoftware for all PM software matters.” tells you exactly where that conversation is allowed to happen. “No AI Slop.” requires you to use your own brain and your own words, so AI-drafted posts and comments are off the table. “No data farming.” bans asking for free advice to build software, startup ideas, or programs, which rules out survey and research posts dressed up as questions. “Be decent.” sets the professional tone for everything else.
What To Post
Write in your own words, with no AI help, and leave every mention of your product, company, or services out of it. Share a real lesson from working in or around property management, ask a genuine question about an operational problem like tenants, maintenance, leasing, or vendors, or add a thoughtful comment on someone else's thread. A vendor or landlord perspective is welcome here as a person, not as a pitch. If you built something for this industry, take that entire conversation to r/pptymgmtsoftware, which is the subreddit the moderators set up for exactly that.
What To Avoid
Do not promote your software, real estate, or vendor services in a post or a comment. Do not post anything written by an AI tool, because the rule says to use your own brain and your own words. Do not solicit free advice for developing software or a startup idea, including surveys and interview requests framed as questions. Do not post software advertisements or start software discussions here at all, since the moderators keep this sub free of that and redirect it. And do not be rude, because this is described as a professional forum.

Common questions about r/PropertyManagement
What about asking which software people use, without naming mine?
Rule “Use r/pptymgmtsoftware for all PM software matters.” sends all software discussion there, including questions and comparisons, not just ads.
Can I post a helpful article I wrote about my industry?
Yes, but rule “No AI Slop.” means it has to be entirely your own writing. If your drafting process involves AI tools, the community does not want the output.
Can I interview people here for user research?
No. Rule “No data farming.” bans soliciting free advice for developing software or startup ideas, and it points you to r/pptymgmtsoftware or another real estate subreddit that allows it.
Can I share a lesson from building my company if I do not pitch anything?
It depends. Sharing your own hard-won lesson in your own words fits the community. Steering the thread toward your product or asking for validation crosses into “No self-promo.” or “No data farming.”.
