Post: Buildium... Ugh, should I use QuickBooks

I am a professional investor with over 100 tenants & 20 years experience. I recently switched from QuickBooks to Buildium exclusively and could not be happier! Unlike previous thoughts Buildium is a full service lease ledger and property management software. If used properly QuickBooks is not needed. I cannot stress enough how important this was to me as it has reduced my workload by at least a factor of five. Best of luck to you all!

Have you tried Helpbringer Mortgage in Columbus? Very investor friendly.

Thank you both! @Rachel Foster @Kenny Dahill
I am narrowing down and have a few calls scheduled with Tellus, Buildium, AppFolio and Rentec Direct.

@Ryan Swan @Jason Hartley et al, thank you for your comments. I am leaning Rentec but keep leaning different ways as I read about each option!

Any luck with Rentec @Jessica Hunt? I am in the same boat researching my next cloud based tenant portal.

Why two bank accounts, @Gita Faust?

Ok so I got Buildum and I'm not sure about it. Want some honest thoughts. Thinking of swapping to QuickBooks.
Keep in mind we are a small time operation an I do a lot of the hands on work my self 🛠️🛠️🛠️. I feel we have built a solid base for our business and we are about to try to move to the next level (level 2, haha). In this transition phase I'm trying to move more in a "work on, not in my business" role. I'm wanting something to grow with us, something that can help with books and payment.
First I got it to take some things off my plate but I feel like it added more.... The main push to get a program is to help with rent collection and the help automate the books and reports in our business. But I feel like I'm learning a new system that is more complicated than our Excel and I'm not seeing a lot of plus side. Im I being a lazy? Do I need to learn system better? Virtual assistant? Just need to get QuickBooks.
Second we build and flip houses also and I don't think that it will work well for that. Anyone have any experience with non hold property accounting in buildium?
Is QuickBooks a better option for us?
Wes
QuickBooks shouldn't be used instead of property management software. It should be used in addition to property management software.
Any updates to Buildium?

Thank you all! @Scott Klingman How do you fully implemented the software? I am curious if it could handle 27 units that I own and manage professionally
