I have recently doubled my rental units from 2 to 4 and am in negotiations for another 6 units. Im trying to be a little proactive and find out what software investors are using for basic property management tools, mostly task management. Are buildium and appfolio my best options? I just dont want to spend a ton of money for software above and beyond what I need. Maybe all I need is a to do list app.

Any Recommendations?

We similarly use multiple platforms to build out our systems, rather than using one larger property management software. For instance, we use Cozy for rent collection and maintenance tracking. Our marketing is handled independently with a local ad agency we've partnered with. The actual maintenance tasks are tracked in Asana with team collaboration. We use Dropbox for secure storage as a simple "owner portal", and we integrate HelloSign with it to automate lease signing at a distance. Accounting could be your choice of Wave, Quickbooks, etc, whatever feels right for the kind of tracking and reporting you're looking for.

We like the flexibility of breaking out tasks into different platforms...some may disagree (it can be a complicated tech stack) but for us it allows us to pivot products when we need a better fit or specific feature.
