Best Ways to Learn Appfolio, Buildium, and Other PM Software?

[Ryan Lane]

I'm a CPA with experience in QuickBooks, Xero, and other accounting softwares, but I understand the big property management softwares also have the ability to track financials and so much more. I've gone on to Buildium's website and Appfolio's website, but I can't find learning sections (similar to QuickBooks) with resources on the software. It seems you need to have an account.

I'd like to learn these softwares to better help clients, or at least be able to take clients on that mainly run off these softwares. 

I'm wondering how others learned the software and if people have any ideas of how to learn these softwares and get experience going through them?

Thanks!

@Stephan Mayer the companies don't make it easy to do this for free.

You may need to sign up for "free" promotional account as most give 7-14 days. Then download all their training materials and play with their software. Do one at a time!

The other option is to trade your assistance with a small PMC using the software. You help them while you learn the software.
