Buildium referral for 15 unit multifamily property

[Sara Hopson]

We just purchased a 15 unit multifamily property and are looking into a good property management software and tenant portal.  The current tenants are paying rent by walking to the previous landlord's backdoor and dropping off cash like they have been doing for the past 20 years.  We are wanting to get this place brought up to the current times and try to automate payments and accept them online.  Possibly adding Paynearme if we need to .  Can anyone tell me if they have used Buildium and how they like it?  I have researched several and this one seems to be the best bang for our buck for how many units we manage.  We also love the idea of having a tenant portal.  Can anyone share a Buildium referral with me and tell me their experience?

Hi Sara, 

I have been using buildium since December 2016 and i love it! They update constantly with new features that can do more and once you get it set up to your liking everything is automated. 

Tenants pay online, if a tenant is late they get an automatic late fee added and email sent their way. Maintenance requests are handled online as well, if a tenant submits a maintenance request, you recieve an email with the address, unit, tenant contact info, and their detailed explanation. You can then forward that email to your maintenance contact to have them reach out directly to tenant to get things handled. 

I use buildium to send leases electronically, handle inspections and just about everything else. (if you cant tell, i'm a bit of a fan haha). Would be more than willing to hop on the phone with you to discuss further.
