Topic: Can someone recommend a Property Management Software please?

Hello, I am new here. Hopefully I am posting to the right place.

I work in a Property Management Firm that has about 300 units. We have a really old software that we need to get rid of.. aka TenantPro, they are bankrupt!

What is a good software that is easy to use and gets the job done?

Thanks every one, I am trying to save this outdated office.. I feel like I'm in the early year of 2000 when computers/internet became a hit :huh:

Are there particular features you're looking for? (Is robust screening more important than accounting?)

We have found an amazing cloud-based solution called ResMan that is easy to use, has fantastic functionality, integrates seamlessly with YOUR CHOICE of vendor partners (like the screening company you want to use, or the water billing company you already have a contract with), and they have the absolute best training! Best of all, our Managers LIKE IT!
They are also a "one-stop shop," so you have accounting, property management, prospect management, leasing, work orders, inventory, EVERYTHING all in one great system!
I have used them for over a year, and when we chose them I figured they'd be good, but they aren't just good, it has been GREAT for us!
Look 'em up at www.ResManCloud.com!
:silly:

accounting is more important for us

thanks will look into resman. there are so many different types of softwares, i don't know where to begin.

right now we are looking at Appfolio, Propertyware, Yardi, Realpage. What are the differences and how do we choose one? It seems like most of them have the same functions.

Anita,
Of the ones you mention, probably ResMan, Yardi and RealPage have the strongest accounting solutions. Make sure you develop a checklist of things you want, and then let the vendor partners educate you on what they have, and if they have those features.
Best to you in your search! :side:

Thanks Mary!

Where we work at we are missing a lotof tenant payments and our dated software doesnt help. We do a lot of things by hand and excel.

The office is also extremely old school, a lot of paper files. What is a good way to hold tenant files?

Not sure I understand "hold tenant files." Can you explain?

We do all lease signing by paper and have a file for each tenant in each building (300 units). Every time a work order is done by email or anything that is related to the tenant for charges and etc. We put that into their file. Is there an easier way to access files?

We use Yardi voyager - It's expensive to go directly through them, but our accountant has a licence and the fees are much more manageable that way. He does all the accounting - bill paying, check register, monthly reports etc. Office staff does the input of deposits, and all resident info. The software also has resident screening built in as well. It's web based, and both managers and owners can have access to live data. Also have mobile apps available.

We worked with OneSite for a short period, but I found it very "clicky" in that there was a lot of steps to get through the input of information. We went back to Yardi
