Thank You, I have heard their accounting system is very good. I hesitate a little because of the price. I only have 36 units. 

I use Buildium, and it works well for the property management side of things. I did not try out enough of the others. Buildium's rep sold me on the fact that it would handle the Accounting side of the business as well. I was was Tenant Cloud and Quickbooks. Quickbooks was pushing everything to online, with what would have been a pretty decent price increase for me because of all the different classes. Anyway, the accounting side of Buildium is very clunky to use. I'm an accountant by trade and i have it working for me in a way i can use but wouldn't recommend it if you need all your accounting on the platform. I will in the future be looking at other platforms that include a decent accounting side as well as property management 

You can do all your accounting in Buildium, it is very clunky and I wished I had had better advice when I purchased it but I'm able to do everything.  It's not good but possible.

I use Buildium, the Property Management side is nice, but the accounting is not very good. Needs to be more flexible with reports and credit cards are a work around. Of I’m an accountant by trade and would like to be able to do more with it. Accounting side just clunky. 

I will do my best to be there. 

Hello all,

Just to get my 2 cents in here.  I am an Accountant by trade and love QBs.  I ran the accounting for about 15years using QB with each of the 35 units as a separate class.  Could combine what classes I needed at year end for all the schedule E's.  My Depreciation was sit up one time and then an auto entry for each month.

Recently have switched to Buildium for the management platform.  I find the accounting part of Buildium pretty clucky truthfully (I love everything else about it).  Being a bean counter all my life I guess I'm to cheap to have both services, and all the double entry of rent and expenses, just not worth it. Tried a few on the free on cheaper online systems but they didn't seem to be as solid as Buildium?

I've been looking for a group as well.  Nothings seems to last here.  Like the rest of you I'm always busy but will give it me best to get there

Good Morning Collin,  I have tried several, TenantCloud, Rentredi, are two. I used Quickbooks for years and loved the accounting side (however I am a CPA by trade so I probably lean on accounting more than most) I have lately settled on Buildium. I think the PM side is pretty good and easy for tenants to use. But I do miss the accounting of Quickbooks. Buildium is pretty different in accounting. I can use it but it frustrates me because it’s not near the accounting software that Quickbooks was. The best possible solution in my opinion anyway is combine Buildium and Quickbooks into one software :).
