Rentec Direct Property Management Software: Anyone use/d it?
I have read all the forums/etc that I can find out PM software along with online review/comparisons. I want to make a final decision. I think I have landed on Rentec Direct, but I've not heard anyone mention it on BP.
Does anyone have experience with Rentec Direct? Please chime in if you do.
This is what I would like to use it for:
-Individual rooms within single family homes.
-50 units and under
-paperless system to accept application, screen tenants, background checks, sign documents/leases, accept rent payments, auto reminder to tenants, accounting/bookkeeping software, produce basic financial reports, and auto post to craigslist/etc.

@Grant Shipman - I've used Rentec for many years. Also I've tried some of the others, Buildium/Appfolio, etc. The latter tend to cater to the larger property managers who have thousands of properties. They really don't care much about us small guys with a couple hundred or less units. After experiencing too many customer service nightmares from the others, I've stuck with Rentec Direct. They have the same features, but they focus specifically on guys our size and their support is spectacular.
My advice, spend a day trying them all out and go with whichever one works best for you. Try out their support too, give them each a call and see what happens.
