Property Management Software for Investor That Self Manages

[Noah Swank]

Hello Fellow BP Users,

I'm an real estate investor that self manages a portfolio of SFH/MF and small commercial. I've completed demos and research of several of the programs out there (appfolio, propertyware, buildium) but haven't found the comprehensive tool that I am looking for and was wondering what other users like best. My primary goals are as follows:

- Have a tool that automates the tenant mgmt process (the programs mentioned above seem to have this functionality

- Be able to leverage the tool into a property management service provider in the future, also seems to be in realm of these programs

- Be comprehensive for an investor and provide financial analysis. For example, I want to be able to include my cost of acquisition, manage my projects (schedule, bids, communication, drawings) and apply ongoing performance to the basis to calculate IRR, hold value, levered returns, mortgage paydown, etc.

- A tool that has everything in one place for a investor and a fee based property manager. After all, why wouldn't my future investor clients want the same financial information that I want?

Any feedback or experiences are appreciated.

Thanks,

Noah
