You can call directly through vumber but the interface kinda sucks, which is why i just use it for call capture. 

I really liked the look of their interface and the ease of use for both myself and tenants. 

Any Podio experts please feel free to chime in if there is a better email integration interface.

Generally these management companies can put you in touch with property owners they know to be "shopping" assets.These businesses also interface between owners looking to develop new properties and VC or other private capital.

It has a slick interface and is setup like other software as a service options.

@Kurt K.In my opinion, the human interface and actually being on the ground and seeing the properties makes a big difference for out of state investors that goes beyond spreadsheets, virtual analysis and long distance communication.You have a much better objective that factors into whether you want to get in for a short term or long term or get out.It seems that you are leaning on the long term but at least you know the intimate details personally and you have a plan of attack.

I have tried the interface and it's functional; simplistic (read: easy to use), not a lot of bells nor whistles which is good if you're trying to bring up the grading curve in certain areas where cash/money orders/ mail payments are still the primary methods.

Also took basic quickbook course on Lynda.com which is $29.99/month for the service https://www.lynda.com/QuickBooks-Pro-tutorials/Qui....I do like tenant cloud vs cozy primarily because of the user interface.

Both are good with support and use the Cpanel interface.  

I find the interface and accounting horribly clunky.
