Property Management Software- Buildium/ Landlord studio/ Stessa

[Matthew Wright]

Hi BP members! This is quite a debated topic, and I was hoping to get some insight from some more seasoned BP users on property management software. My requirements are: 10 properties presently, (looking to grow a lot more!) two which are Airbnbs and have constant ongoing expenses, the others fixed tenants. The properties are held in various different LLC's, with different ownership %'s.

I really like some of the Buildium features for tenant screening/ payments etc and dealing with some of the above, however one of the core requirements is super easy expense management. There are up to three users that could be uploading Amazon receipts etc, venmo payments, and ideally I would like a mobile option that can do this and also integrate with bank accounts etc with different user views/ permissions.

Does anyone have any experience doing this in Buildium and is it easy or cumbersome? Landlord studio and Stessa look like they have quite strong offerings on the expenses side, any recommendations or similar use cases to mine?

Thanks!!

Appfolio requires minimum of 50 properties.

Buildium is perfect for DIY owners. It does have it's limitation, but most are related to 3rd party managment of other owners properties.
