Recommendations for Property Management Software - 10-49 units

[Ben Scott]

After toiling away with Excel lo the last many years, I'd like to invest in a property management software. I understand AppFolio but they won't manage anything under 50 units. I'm looking for a platform to manage 10-15 this year and manage growth for next year. I'm aware of Tenant Cloud and Avail but haven't dug into either quite yet.

Everyone is going to love the software they use, my best advise is to pick about 3 to 5 of them and setup test accounts. Then start putting them through your normal processes and see which one will work for you.

We used Avail but it had too many issues for us to keep. We paid the extra $5.00 to get rent payments next day. Well it really didn't happen and wasn't worth it. There were other system issues that hinder accounting process.

Tenant Cloud, we looked at it but you have to sign up to a separate service in order to offer online rental payments. Why? It should be part of the same platform.

We ended up using Innago. It met 85% of our needs and it has a very easy setup process for our tenants. Good Luck.
