I'd recommend Appfolio since you're managing more than 50 doors (their minimum criteria). 100% of the PMs I've worked with for my own rentals have used Appfolio, and it's always produced great owner reports.For overall bookkeeping/accounting needs, I always recommend QuickBooks Online since my bookkeeping firm uses it exclusively for our clients who are all REIs.But, for a PM company for the trust accounting, I usually recommend Appfolio.Hope that helps!
