Seeking Recommendations for Property Management Software for LTR and STR

[Bubba McCants]

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

We are in the midst of an exciting period of growth for our property management company. Currently, we have a portfolio of 35 long-term rental properties, and we're managing these with the help of Yardi Breeze. Our team has been quite satisfied with its capabilities for long-term rentals.

As we look to the future, we're planning to expand into the Short-Term Rental (STR) market within the next few months. With this new venture, we are seeking advice on the best software solutions that can efficiently handle both Long-Term Rentals (LTR) and Short-Term Rentals.

I'm reaching out to fellow property managers and real estate professionals here:

• What software are you using that adeptly manages both LTR and STR?

• Are there particular features that you've found indispensable for managing STRs?

• How does your software of choice streamline operations and enhance guest/tenant experiences?

• Is there one that integrates smoothly with Yardi Breeze, or would it be better to switch to an all-in-one platform?

I'd deeply appreciate any recommendations you can share based on your experiences, as well as any tips or potential pitfalls to watch out for as we navigate this expansion.

Thank you all in advance for your time and insights!

Best Regards,

Don Cooley

I use Appfolio in our business for LTR and we really enjoy it. It also has STR capabilities that I have never used but I am sure is good. I think something to look for if you are switching is the ability to integrate with other software. That alone has made our lives so much easier.
