Hi Dinesh

    The buildium is cheaper than Rent manager for smaller units and multiple people can use simultaneously. since u have 4 units that should not be a problem.

If you need multiple users need to login than you have to pay extra in rentmanager,which can become expensive than buildium.

Also Pendo rent  mentioned by Scott weaner seems ok to for what you need.

Good luck and happy landlording.

This is a good resource in BP itself

I have used buildium and rent manager both. Buildium is ok for small number of units. Its accounting is not as good as rent manager.

If you grow into more units more that 50 than you can think of rentmanager, It is much more versatile and reliable with lot more features.

If you are new to renting you may use a realtor but do the screening your self or ask the realtor to give you  a copy of the background report. Review the prospect and try to meet the prospect before deciding to sign the lease.

All adults(18 and above) going to live in the house should have an application filled out.

Also look for realtors who specialize in your area or in rentals. It is sometimes a learning or experienced process.

Make sure you mention number of people living in the house in your lease.

Good luck.

1 month before the lease expire date,the IHA will order an inspection of the property. You can tell the iha you are going to ask the amount of rent you are looking for.They may approve it if you show an example of the rent you are looking for in another similar property. They may talk to the current client and if she does not want to move they will approve it if it is reasonable and with in market range

Good luck  it works most of the time,if you show market rents in the area.

Welcome to BP. Lot of stuff to learn.Listen to the Podcasts. Very good information and ideas. Good luck.

I have used rent manager for 8 years. It is better and I have used buildium also.

I prefer rent manager.

It is a good idea not to provide icemakers in fridges for RENTALS.

Most of the time icemakers break for various reasons. I do not provide Icemakers in my fridges

Keep up the good work.

Congrats!!!! . Awesome podcasts. I listen to them everyday for my morning excercise.
