I'm looking for ways to reduce the time/effort I spend on maintenance issues. I've looked into PropertyMeld and Vendoroo, and they are rolling out AI in their flows.

1. If you've tried either of them, what was your experience? Was it difficult/time consuming to get started?

2. Is there anything they actually don't do (or don't do well) which surprised you?

3. How do your tenants like working with it?

4. Any others you would recommend I look into?

Thanks in advance!

Also curious about the tools you use @Alyson Anderson. Sounds quite interesting

...and it's only Wednesday

Hi Simone - Don't know of any PMCs who handle this. Most cases I hear of are self managed. A friend does this through Zillow with good success. Another does it via Airbnb and it's always booked out (30 day min). 

One idea is if you are close to any university or hospital, there are often students or medical residents, respectively, who are looking for a room to rent for a short-med term. And they might have some internal forums/classifieds which you could share your property with. 

Buildium also comes to mind for the size.

But for your particular concern (keeping track of smaller details), that seems more like a reminder system or a workflow rather than a cloud CRM (property management system). I'm a fan of both Monday.com and Trello. Monday is a bit more expensive. Trello is free if you have fewer than 5 users, and can handle tasks very well. ClickUp is another alternative to Monday which I think is cheaper.
