Favorite software for a Landlord?

[Jeff Schroeder]

I'm relatively new to REI, but have had a single rental property for ~3 years that does well. My father on the other hand, has ~20+ properties and tracks everything manually in a spreadsheet. While I could likely write some decent landlord software, I'd rather see if someone else has done a better job than me.

What, if any, software do you use to manage things? I've seen Appfolio, but it seems like buying a Porsche when a Volvo will do as it is a bit overpriced.

Jeff -- there are a bunch of softwares out there. It depends on what you want to get from them. I went with Hemlane, in part because of their auto-verification for tenant bank setup (I did not want excuses for tenants not to pay on time) and also because of their vendor coordination. But I also checked out some other softwares that were good: Buildium, RentPost, Entrada, and Rent Manager.
