 Hi Steve! Do you use the same email address for your BiggerPockets Pro account as your Stessa account? If so, you can log into Stessa using your BiggerPockets Pro credentials and it will access your Stessa account with the additional Pro features. If not, please PM me the email address associated with your your Stessa account and I will work with Stessa directly to get you set up.


 Thanks, it is a different email, so I'll PM you.

Answer to the question to the question: We're managing the property ourselves.

Thanks to all for your input. I've realized that 1) there is no single software unicorn to handle all of this, and 2) I'm complicating things by trying to track an unnecessary layer. I'm going to track the overall property and each unit, and start with a combination of Stessa (for financials) and TenantCloud (for property management) and see how it goes.

We're buying a development of 10 duplexes (20 units), and I'm trying to figure out which landlord software to use.

  • 1 purchase/mortgage
  • 10 tax lots/tax bills/buildings/insurance policies
  • 20 units/leases

Some transactions will be per unit (such as rents and appliance repairs), some will be per duplex (such as tax, insurance and roof maintenance), and some will be for the entire development (such as the mortgage and common area maintenance). So I need to be able to track and report per unit, per duplex, and overall.

I also need the system to pull transactions automatically from our bank and card accounts. Some manual entry is inevitable, but I do not want to manually enter all transactions across 20 units.

I've poked around in the free version of TenantCloud, but that system does not pull info from our bank/card accounts.

I'm now poking around in Stessa, which looks nifty, but it expects properties and units, and I need one more level.

Is something like QuickBooks Online my only option to get the structure I need, and if so, how would I organize it? (The $35/mo version of TenantCloud connects to QBO, but I'm not sure that solves the structure problem for easy reporting.)

I appreciate any advice the community can provide.
