Property Management Software Review

[Tony Thompson]

There are two pieces of software I would like to hear reviews on. If any of our members have used the following software, please write a brief pro/con/conclusion about the software.

Trex Global's Simplify 'Em

Or

Quicken Rental Property Manager

I already have Quicken Premier 2009 but have seen sketchy reviews for the rental property manager upgrade.

[Gita Faust]

Instead of using Quicken, I would recommend QuickBooks Pro to manage properties for landlords and property managers.

Like anything else, you can customize the data file to be used for a specific industry, keeping in mind to reduce time, enter one transactions only once and customize your reports. So depending on your budget on software, training and support on a yearly basis and office staff, decide which software is the right option for your client.

But you can track all you info for owners, properties, units, tenants with a click print reports, lease details, rent roll, work orders, track time, and create statements and more. Here are basic steps.

Property owner = customer, class and vendor
Property = Job and subclass
Unit = Job of a property (optional) - use account no for unit no, and
customize you Customer Center to include the unit no.
Tenant = Job of a unit or a property

Products successfully integrated with QB - SmartVault or SourceLink, billing solutions, Intuit Merchant Service - specially with vacation rentals, blank check stock, industry specific websites - Would love to work with bill.com, Method Integration (which gives you a web portal, and integrates with QB) and/or QuickBase.
