Latest and greatest property managent software?

Question

Hello everyone ! Any reccomendations on a good rental property manager software. Where you can store leases, write rent receipts, manage service calls etc.??? Would greatly appreciate feed back

When I had fewer units, I used Cozy.co (now Apartments.com). It is free and it can do all you need to manage tenants effectively: pay rent online for free, maintenance requests, store documents, late fees and other charges, communicate with tenants, etc.When I crossed ~50 units I switched to Buildium. I knew I was going to keep growing my portfolio and I wanted something more robust. Apartments.com was easier to use in some ways, but Buildium is a better all around product. You pay for it though!  If you are getting started, I’d go with a free solution that offers free online rent payments, maintenance requests, document storage, and easy communication with tenants. Everything else are bells and whistles that you won’t be using on a daily basis when managing a fee tenants.

Hey Juan!I use TenantCloud for all of my properties.  It's not as "mature" as some of the other software out there such as Avail, Buildium, or AppFolio, but I believe they're all also a good deal more expensive (more "professional" oriented for PMs with LOTS of units).It does everything you mentioned, and everything we've needed it to do for our property management needs (electronic leases, electronic signing of leases, tenant screening with background checks and credit scores, electronic rent collection/payment with receipts, store leases and other files, a whole maintenance request/management module, and listing/advertising of available units for rent, plus I'm probably forgetting some things).  There is a very basic accounting feature in there too, but we actually don't use it anymore, instead we use Stessa (a free, but very powerful site) for all of our business' accounting.All this from TenantCloud costs us about $12/mo for unlimited tenants and units.They also have a free version if you want to give it a trial run, but the $12/mo version was well worth it for us.Comparison of their plans here:  https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing/I've also heard good things about RentRedi, but haven't used it personally so can't vouch for it.  From my research, it appears to be similar pricing (actually cheaper than TenantCloud at $9/mo if you pay annually) and features to TenantCloud, but maybe slightly more "polished".Their features are listed here:  https://rentredi.com/landlord-features/Give me a shout if you have any other questions!Cheers,Dean
