I’m working with a company that’s setting up a shared workspace and we’re looking for software to help us manage the rentals of our cubicles, lockers, meeting rooms, offices and shared IT resources.

We’d prefer something that would allow the tenants to reserve meeting rooms and cubicles online and also helps with the billing and on-boarding of new customers.

We’re looking at WUN, Essensys, and Cobot currently. Anyone that’s used them mind giving a quick review?

Any other software you’d recommend?

Thanks for the help!

I'm far from an expert but my family does own a small 50 acre farm in East Texas. But Austin may be a difference experience.

A few tips from our experience:

• Make sure the land will qualify for a agricultural property tax exception. The difference in Texas between paying taxes based on market value and agricultural value can be the difference between $75/yr per acre and $7/yr per acre. 
• For it to qualify for the exception you don't have to farm the land yourself. We lease our hay field to the neighbors. You probably won't make much, but it can cover the property taxes and justify the agricultural exception. 
• There are banks that specialize in land/farm. You may have better success with them than a traditional bank. Heritage Land Bank is popular bank here, but I don't think they have a office near Austin.
