Property Management Software

[Rob B.]

I'm buying a property management company in San Jose, CA that manages about 100 units, all SFR or Condos. I am looking at the automated software such as buildium, propertyware, appfolio, etc. I am wondering if anyone on here owns a property management company or has a large number of units and has a recommendation for one program or another? Cost is not as important as the program that is going to make my life easier. I'd rather pay $500/Mo for a great program than $200 for a mediocre program.

Any software you choose - make sure you keep time aside for training, consulting and learning curve.

Make a list of your requirements, create an excel sheet and go from there.
