Do any of the rental management suites sync with Bank account
Looking at Cozy, Buildium, Tenant Cloud, do any sync with bank accounts for expense tracking (trying to not do Quickbooks) I'm just setting up a simple 4-plex and I see that all of these do some level of accounting. Any experience out there?

@Nathan R. Cowger - I am just doing this as well for my sub-10 unit portfolio. I am leaning towards Rentec myself, but here are my high level thoughts with my goal being a single-platform Management and Accounting platform. I am demoing TenantCloud and Rentec right now. I currently use Tellus and Quicken Rental Property Manager.
Tellus: My current solution that lacks web so I have to do everything on a mobile app. It Is okay but I really just started to use it as it two years ago as it was free on all fronts (not anymore for screening) when I started.
Quicken Rental Property Manager: No management, Desktop Client only, extremely robust for business just short of QB
Avail: A nice looking product but it had a few missing pieces.
RentHero: A simple and low cost replacement for QBO built specifically for rentals
SimplifyEm: Looks good but has a bunch of fees when under 50 units that rule it out
AppFolio: Is good but needs 25+ units to be worthwhile
Propertyware: Looks promising but has implementation costs and wouldn't be viable short of 25 units
Buildium: Personal experience here that I am not a fan but will do all that is needed.
RentManager: enterprise class only
Skyline: enterprise class only
RealPage: enterprise class only
RentLinx: this is listing only software
Unit Trac: for Self Storage only
Stessa: A slightly more robust RentHero and free, could be viable but is a component to a solution with no management
TurboTenant: Free but only partial solution, similar to Tellus in this regard
TenantCloud: A very nice solution with most features, great application customization, missing Bank Sync
Rentec: A pricier version of TenantCloud but includes Bank Sync as a full QBO replacement
