Property Management Software

[Adam Ahrens]

Looking at possibly switching PM software.

Curious to hear everyone’s pros/cons.

RentRedi

Buildium

Appfolio

Others?

We currently use RentRedi. 

[Jim Johnson]

Here’s a quick, practical comparison:

RentRedi
Pros: Very user-friendly, good tenant portal, maintenance tracking, affordable.
Cons: Limited accounting and reporting as you scale.
Best for smaller portfolios or simple ops.

Buildium
Pros: Strong accounting, owner statements, solid maintenance workflow.
Cons: More complex than RentRedi, less “lightweight.”
Good middle ground for growing portfolios.

AppFolio
Pros: Robust automation, strong mobile tools, great for larger ops.
Cons: Higher cost, more features than some need.
Best for larger or fast-scaling portfolios.

If you’re outgrowing RentRedi, most people step up to Buildium (or Rentec Direct) before jumping to AppFolio.
