I hadn't heard of Tellus App. There's so many! How many properties do you have?

Thanks, David. I'm in a similar situation, but for kinda complicated reasons need to switch away from Quickbooks now. I'm looking at AppFolio, because I've also heard good things about it; but you're right, it's a little spendy for fewer units. 

Trying to decide on a property management software for 50+ doors or so. If you manage that number of doors, what software do you use? What do you like about it? What do you wish was better about it? What are its pros and cons from your experience?

We are setting up a new brokerage. Currently using Quickbooks for everything. Plan is to keep the properties indefinitely. Currently we have tenants pay directly into a bank account. I mentioned that because in a software we wouldn't necessarily benefit greatly from features such as online pay and such. Thank you for any help and recommendations!

The company is currently at around 50 units; looking to double that in the next year, and probably more after that. Deal mostly with lower-income, and lower-tech tenants (i.e. many tenants do not have a bank account). Looking for software recommendations.

The management I do for a fee. The owner did talk about perhaps deeding it back to himself to do the FED, then back to the LLC. We wondered if this might complicate the insurance if there were a claim. Thanks for the thoughts!

I'm looking for creative options to evict, without incurring an $850 atty/court fee every time (and that's one of the cheapest!)

On properties I own I can file my own evictions, but ones I manage for an LLC, Alaska law requires I hire an attorney to file. This is mundane, routine work that most attorneys don't really want to do anyway. Any creative ideas to get a non-paying tenant to move out?
