easiest/simple property management software for landlords/owners
I grew kind of fast with the amount of units I had. I had a very manual system (but accurate!) to track my payments and who owed me what. I probably was reminded you of a bookie or something from back in the 60's running numbers LOL.
However, all jokes aside, I ended up growing to 50 units and still growing. I hired someone to help me do property management and collect payments. Then I had to fire them. Then I got very busy with my other businesses. Now I'm faced with having to do my books again. and it seems like a very daunting task if I don't leverage myself with with some type of software.
here is the problem, and the solution I am looking for:
1. I need a system that's very very easy to learn
2. The system would need to be able to take either partial payments, or accept entry twice a month (some of my tenants pay every two weeks instead of monthly. this is one of them markets I cater to with some of my portfolio)
3. I don't need it to do a million different features, (what seems to make most of these softwares soooo confusing) I just need it to be extremely great at ONE thing, and that's just tracking my payments where I know (in a easily pull-able report that I can gather)
a. what was owed in a month
b. what was paid
c. who didn't pay
...so I can easily know who take action on
like I just really need this software to to track and organize payment history for tenants and run simple reports monthly
Another reason I want this to be super simple, is because I want quickly hand this function over to my assistant, so all I have to do is run reports to get the oversight I need.
Can somebody please help me with the best solution out there? PLEASE HELP!
(side note: I tried buildium (and it seemed too complicated. and I didn't feel I had enough support onboarding.
then I tried RentMerchant (and that system was too clunky, and it wouldn't give me the snap shot reports I needed. let alone was not simple and easy to read)
