Legal Disclaimer
Rent Bumper does not provide tax, legal, investment, or accounting advice. Our blog posts, spreadsheets, downloads, articles, calculators, newsletters, and all other prepared materials are for informational purposes only. They are not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, tax, legal, investment, or accounting advice. Every investor’s situation is different.
Your use of the Rent Bumper website, calculators, spreadsheets, and other resources constitutes acceptance of our terms of service and represents your agreement to consult your own tax, legal, investment, and accounting advisors before pursuing transactions or making any tax, legal, or accounting decisions.
Affiliate Disclosure
We generate revenue through various affiliate marketing arrangements and programs. In practical terms, this means we may earn commissions on products and/or services you purchase through our outbound links to service providers, retailers, or other third parties. That said, our recommendations are true to our own experiences and are backed up by extensive research and testing. We simply don’t recommend products or services that suck as there’s no incentive for us to do so. If you’re unhappy and decide to return a product or ask for a refund, we typically won’t get paid an affiliate commission. In that way, we feel the system is self-policing and puts you in the driver’s seat.
The bottom line: we only recommend products and services that we’ve fully vetted and wholeheartedly endorse. If you have a negative experience with something we’ve recommended, we want to hear about it at: lordy(at)rentbumper(dot)com.
It’s Your Data
Most websites vacuum up huge amounts of data from their visitors in the hopes that one day they’ll figure out how to “monetize” it. In the meantime, many websites store your data insecurely and give too many people too much access, all while reserving the right to change their Terms of Service at any time. It’s a twisted Faustian bargain that’s become almost unavoidable online. We don’t behave this way!
While you’re of course free to “share” links to our content with friends and other investors, we’ll never ask you to do this. You won’t find social media logos anywhere on Rent Bumper, and that’s intentional. We’re simply not interested in promoting business models that are designed to capture your attention and sell it to the highest bidder.
Limited Data Collection
As a rule, we collect the minimum amount of personal information we need to operate Rent Bumper efficiently and make you a more effective rental property owner.
Our commitment to you is that any personal information you provide to Rent Bumper will be kept in the strictest confidence. We’ll use it to contact you only to the extent you have given us prior consent.
Specifically…
- If you join our email list, your email address and first name will remain confidential. No other company will have access to your personal information.
- We don’t rent, sell, or barter our email subscription list or any other personal data you provide to Rent Bumper.
- When you use one of our free mortgage or other rental property calculators, the information you input is not shared with third parties other than what is required to process opt-ins to our occasional email newsletter.
