Property Management Software Reviews

Okay, after about 43 bagillion emails from loyal readers of The REI Brain… we’ve finally added a page on property management software reviews our site directly dedicated to ONLY property management software reviews that we’ve done.

To date we’ve done a big handful of reviews based on requests from readers all the way from lower end property management software like Real Tools , Quicken Rental Property Manager , etc… to mid-range software such as Landlord Max and Tenant File … to online based solutions like Buildium , iRealtymanager , Rentec Direct , and others.

Browse Our Landlord Software Reviews Below(some have discount links):

Below our property manager software reviews are broken up into price range and our recommendation for the number of units it is best suited for… as well as the name of the product.  Keep in mind that many of the software programs will physically handle many more units than we suggest… but our “unit” suggestions are based on how many we feel it will best handle taking into consideration:

  • The features of the product and whether it will handle the tasks that goes with managing that number of units
  • The record keeping capabilities for that many units
  • The ease of use as you scale it to manage more and more units

… and other factors.

Here are the reviews… enjoy :-)

Browse By Price Range:

$0 – $100:

$100 – $200:

$200 – $400: (currently working on more reviews in this pricerange)

$400-$1,000+: (coming soon… please send in your review requests)

Browse By Number Of Units We Suggest It Is Best For:

Keep in mind, all property management software is subjective… so what we feel will handle only 10 units comfortably… may actually handle many more units for your needs.  What we suggest is to go through all of our reviews in your price range and try the free trials and find out what’s best for you.

1-10 Units:

11-50 Units (or less):

50-100 Units (or less):

100+ Units (or less):

Browse By Software Name:

    I came across this web based rental property management software, and would like to have you review it in the future.

    Thaks for all your hard work and reviews. I am so grateful that I came across your website.

    Thanks

    HI There,

    My partner and I are just starting a property management company. I am soooo confused by the abundance of options out there. I am in need of easy to use, background check options, maintenance and notes, ability to communicate with tenant and owners via the site, etc…

    I am wondering if you have reviewed properytware or rentomatic. We definitely need something geared towards property managers and not just landlords. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am checking out Buildium and Irealty too.

    Thanks in advance for your guidance.

    Hi Trevor,

    I would love for you to review RentRight version 4 and or version 3 and the latest version of Tenant Pro.

    Basically I have no experience with Property Management Software, but have been manageing my own 16 units for a while. I was ready to purchase Rent Right 4 when I discovered they had been bought out and version 4 no longer has customer support.

    Thank You for your reviews

    Hey Robbi,

    I’d love to review Rent Right also… but the Rent Right people have been infamously avoiding talking to me about getting the review going.

    What I do know is that when Domin-8 bought Rent Right a little while back… they were planning on launching the new version in 2008. That was when I was originally trying to get a hold w/ them for months to do the review and they would never follow through.

    Anyhow, long story short… they canned the new version of RentRight because they felt it was an inferior product and they have discontinued support for all previous versions of RentRight (as far as I know). So… for now… until they get things rolling w/ their new RentRight version I’d probably stay away from them until further notice.

    I do know that Domin8 does have some great products and brands like Tenant Pro… and I’m again trying to get in contact w/ them to do full reviews of their product lines as a result of a lot of review questions we’ve been getting from readers.

    As of now… we’re again in limbo w/ Domin8 as far as getting the ability to do the reviews goes. I’ll keep everyone updated on those.

    Hey Gloria,

    Thanks for the comment!

    We have Propertyware and rentomatic on tap for reviews in the next 30-60 days.

    I totally agree, up to this point we’ve focused on the landlord focused software reviews… but we’re working w/ getting permission to do the reviews from the other companies for property management focused software in the next 30-60 days.

    Keep checking back!

    And everyone else… keep submitting your property management software review requests in the comments area below and we’ll get to them asap.

    Thanks for the great comments!

    - Trevor

    Thank You Trevor for your response in regard to Rent Right and Tenant Pro. I think I will play around with RenTec in the mean time.

    Hi there;

    I just found your website and I am finding your information very helpful. My question is do you know of a software called TenantPro 7. Well I downloaded it. The download took me 2 trys and 4 hours…well I finally got it to download. I have been trying to use TenantPro 7 for about a week now and found when you input information on one screen it dosn’t automatically input on other screens. So I have to re enter the same information on different screens. I am very frustrated with the software. What is your take on it. Plus it is very expensive.

    Thanks
    Cynthia W

    Thanks Again,

  8. Eva on Feb 25th, 2009 at 2:03 am

    Please review Propertyware. We are debating between Propertyware and Buildium. Thank you so much

  9. John Hanson on Apr 3rd, 2009 at 3:51 am

    Can you please check out propertythree software and give us a review.

    It is at property3.com

    Thanks so much.

  10. Cammy McNeil on Apr 10th, 2009 at 4:10 am

    I just have one question I have looked at Quicken and at Landlordmax , I’m just getting started in this, well not just getting started but.. ON MY OWN STARTED. Can you let me know if either of these two software products have the ability to e-mail any of the reports from my computer right from the program? I hope this makes sense. Thank you for your help

  11. Louis on Apr 17th, 2009 at 6:31 am

    Propertyboss.com

    Thank you very much for your work and this site, makes it very easy to get an advantage before having to commit to a product.

    Hi Trevor, what do you think about our property management software ?

  13. Alan on May 15th, 2009 at 3:55 am

    Hello
    I am a professional property manager and I am personally responsible for approximately 100 units. The company I work for (about 10 employees) manages over 1000 units with over 30 different bank accounts etc. We use Rent Manager from LCS http://www.rentmanager.com. This is a VERY functional piece of software, I researched all the major providers including tenant pro etc, and rent manager is by far superior. They have a 10 unit or less license for only $150 and this is more than capable. I am not looking for a review as I use the software every day, but I wanted to make others aware of the software. Once you learn how to use it, it is extremely capable with a accounting package built right in.

    Hope this helps!
    Alan

    I’d love a review on propertyware.com I’m trying to decide between it and Buildium.

  15. Jamie on Aug 19th, 2009 at 1:56 pm

    I am currently looking at Buildium, Appfolio, PropertyWare, and Property Boss. Personally I like PropertyWare the best, but I am not the one making the final decision. My company is a third-party management company for 650+ single family homes. Any input you could provide on these products would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for all your efforts!

    Hello

    I am REAL new at this property management task. We are growing and I need something to help me in the are af tenant management. I have ran across a program called, “Property-Software” by SpiritWorks. It is an online program and allows for 10 days free use but I wanted an experts opinion for what I should be looking out for that I just may not be experienced enough to know to be concern about. After the free period, it only cost $199. I like the concept of Rentec but I think we are going to outgrow it before I get started good. We have a 12 Unit apartment bldg and 8 SFH already…if the max is 20…I will need some else by October. As I know the final choice is personal preference but trying to avoid buyers remorese (smile). Thanks in advance.

  17. Joyce Smotherman on Sep 14th, 2009 at 11:43 am

    I would strongly advise no one to buy Tenant Pro; the software is corrupted; reports cannot be done in a manner to help you get them done; support is terrible; they make it seem like you are the problem; use up all your minites and you still don’t have an answer to a question; or they you refer you to the tutorial; which of course is not the answer; it is because the software is not written correctly.

  18. Doug on Sep 28th, 2009 at 6:41 am

    Please review Propertyware (www.propertyware.com). I’ve heard great things about it and I’d like to see how it matches up before I make my decision.

  19. Wesley Luk on Oct 26th, 2009 at 1:51 am

    Hi Trevor,

    Have you heard of Property Center from http://www.propertycenteronline.com? Would you be able to do a review on it? Thanks in advance…

    Hello,

    Could you do a review on DIY real estate solutions.
    http://www.diyresoluions.com

    Thanks,

    Liam

  21. Alison Cavano on Nov 20th, 2009 at 7:11 am

    Can you include a review of our property management software, DIY Real Estate Solutions. I wanted to make sure you had the correct url: http://www.diyresolutions.com.

    Thanks so much.

  22. Renee on Jan 2nd, 2010 at 12:20 pm

    I’m the bookkeeper for a property management company with about 400 doors. We are currenltly using Yardi Genesis. I’m very familiar with it and reluctant to change unless the pros outweigh the cons. Our current version is not web based and we’d like to move in that direction. Yardi offers a web based version but it is very expensive.
    Would you recommend RenTec Pro Version? Any other suggestions?

  23. Kathi on Jan 14th, 2010 at 7:37 pm

    Hi,

    Are you familiar with a web based vacation rental software called liverez.com? I would love your insight?

    Thanks

  24. Brian on Feb 10th, 2010 at 11:53 pm

    Do not go with LiveRez. Great sales speech, aweful hidden costs and extremely bad tech support.

  25. Lois on Feb 16th, 2010 at 2:21 pm

    i am looking for a good software program for my HOA of 800 properties
    maintained and owned by individuals within our HOA
    i was told that genesis by yardi is far superior than quickbooks which
    i have been using successfully for several years
    we mostly do payroll, payments, and accounting of maintenance payments
    petty cash, and material outlays – should i keep what i have, thanks

  26. reibrain on Feb 19th, 2010 at 11:18 am

    Hmmmm… ya, we’re still looking for a good software for HOA’s… I haven’t seen Genesis yet… but we’ll put it on our review plan.

  27. Amy Soto on Mar 4th, 2010 at 6:57 am

    I had Propertyware for several months and never could get it to work right. It seems way to complicated and is not intuitive. The do provide many training videos but if you need that many training videos something is wrong! To top it off they charged my credit card a week and a half after I cancelled my account and I can’t reach a live person to help me get it back, I just have to keep leaving messages.
    I am currently trying the Buildium product under the free trial and so far it has been far easier than Propertyware. I think I have finally found the product for me!

  28. William Bennett on Mar 22nd, 2010 at 10:33 am

    Hello! FullHouse Software offers products throughout your prices ranges and size limitations. Take a look at Investment Property Manager!

    We’d love a review, and are always looking for feedback. If there’s a better place to submit our software, just point me in the right direction.

  29. Brenda Mims on May 19th, 2010 at 2:10 pm

    I have used Tenent Pro from Domin8 for over 6 years now and recently suggested to the Property Management Department to try it out. In an attempt to keep our landlords better informed we ordered through the Domin8 website Crystal Reports. Now this software is supposed to be easily integrated with our TenantPro 7 software, but when I installed it I had difficulties so I contacted TenantPro who in turn told me to contact the people at Crystal Reports. When I contacted the makers of Crystal reports they stated that because I purchased the software from a third party entity I would need to go to them for help. No one will take responsibility and if I would like any kind of assistance from the makers of Crystal Reports I would have to pay an additional $150 for tech support on top of the $500 I just coughed up to purchase the software which was touted as compatible with TenantPro and easy to integrate. Could you please investigate these people and see if there is any remedy here. I do like the TenantPro 7 system but I would really like to be able to have the Crystal Reports integrated or would like to return the Software that they are telling me is non returnable and non refundable. In this economy no one has $500 just to throw out the window.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Would like to know if you have any updated reviews for quicken 2010 rental property. I’m trying to make a decision between quicken 2010 and landlordmax. Unless you recommend there is another rental property software that is better.

  31. Debbie on Jun 13th, 2010 at 10:03 pm

    I would be curious for you to review PROMAS and how it compares to appfolio.

  32. Edwin on Jul 15th, 2010 at 10:41 am

    What do you recommend for 400+ units ? Staying within a modest price point.

  33. Tommy on Jul 22nd, 2010 at 12:14 pm

    I am curious to know any software that will track weekly rants. I purchased the Quicken software buy was disappointed to see that it will not do weekly rentals. I am also disappointed with the Quicken software as I bought it after my tenants had been living in my apartment and paying rent. There is no way to retro the rent backwards… if I enter the past few months rent (even selecting the proper dates) it then tells me I should not expect rent again from them for many months! I can’t enter in partial payments and I have tenant who is currently behind and I entered the information and it shows him as current… even though I entered his move in date as months ago and have not entered any payments.

  34. ruth on Jul 30th, 2010 at 11:00 am

    Please review the following software: Yardi, TOPS, Property Blvd PM
    thank you
    How soon can I expect to see the reviews?

  35. rosi on Aug 11th, 2010 at 8:39 am

    after 2 months of research…we may go with rent manager. we reviewed MRI, rent manager, maxwell-colonial, spectra, yardi and onsite. mri wanted minimum of $20k. onsite is by far the cheapest but you get little to no support. yardi wasn’t impressive. spectra was nice but twice the price of rent manager (web-based). maxwell good but no web-based version. heard good things about rent manager. they seem to be very responsive and helpful.

    We would love for you to review resident Interactives Streamnest for Property Management software.

  37. Shawn Lederman on Aug 18th, 2010 at 2:29 pm

    Can you review Resident Interactives “Streamnest” Community web portal and PMS system. Please contact me I would like to get you set up for an evaluation.

  38. Eastern Management LLC on Aug 27th, 2010 at 2:49 pm

    In my opinion Domin8 is a failing company. They have been unable to bring their outdated systems up to date with the needs of the modern management company, despite buying other companies to steal their solutions. Ultimately they can’t manage to integrate any of them and waste a lot of time and money – ceasing to support any of them to a degree of usefulness. Although they will sell you them and take your money. Once a company starts throwing money at trying to buy solutions, its a good indication it is a company in trouble, and at the very least a poorly managed company.
