Property management software, what's best!?

[Cody F.]

I'm looking for a good property management software. We have 42 units to manage without plans to manage much more than that for a few years.

Features that are most important to me:

- nearly automated Application processing

- vacancy listing

- affordable background and credit checks

- income insight if possible

- online lease and forms docusign

- ACH payment collection ability.

There are 3 that I've learned about that seem to continually come up.

-Appfolio ( Doesn't have an option for my size of management but seems to be the most thorough. However it's complexity makes it less intuitive to operate from what I hear. )

- Rentec Direct ( Heard this one has stellar customer service and it has most features as well)

- Buildium ( I tried a trial of this one and it seemed interesting but it was kind of expensive, and the application process is with my smart move by transition. If I wanted my smart move by transunion,

I could just pay for it and keep doing the rest in excel how I'm doing. I'm looking for a better application process than smart move offers, so buildium is lacking in that category for me.
