Stessa is Quicken for Real Estate

I absolutely adore Stessa and tell everyone about it. I'm probably their biggest fan though I'm a small time investor. It is literally the single best accounting app I've ever used and better then working with a CPA or accountant. It's made my life significantly more simple around tax time and for that I am eternally grateful.

PROS

The auto import from my connected accounts including bank and credit card accounts. It also is the biggest help with my taxes that I could ever dream of. Every year I just print out the tax report for each property and my tax guy barely has to ask me any questions.

CONS

To be totally honest there is nothing I don't like. I will say I haven't tried their mobile app in over a year because it used to be pretty weak but I hear it's been updated and very nice now.

Amazing App For New Real Estate Investors

This has really helped me start organized as I start up our real estate investing portfolio.

PROS

I love the ease of use and ability to connect to my business checking account as well as my business credit card.

CONS

Inability to do split transactions and didn’t know how to pull reports until recently.

Reason for choosing Stessa

It was real estate specific so way easier to categorize expenses and income.

I wanted to love Stessa, unfortunately the features fall short

The major issue I have with Stessa is when Stessa downloads your transactions from the bank it will remove some automatically. Customer service said it was just removing duplicates. Anyone that is in property management or owns and operates rental housing knows many transactions are going to be the exact same. Rent doesn't change by month, and many bills are the exact amount each month, like mortgage payments. Stessa would regularly remove 10-20% of the transactions, and the even worst part is it wouldn't say it did. They just wouldn't show up. I only noticed it as the reports looked WAY off. To get correct reports through Stessa I would have to download the CSV file and compare it to my bank CSV file. Then I would have to enter the transactions manually. It isn't worth it. At the VERY LEAST we should have the option to turn off "removing duplicate transactions". I've mentioned this to customer service more times than I can count and they never do anything.

PROS

The design of the site was very intuitive. Useful and pretty reports.

CONS

Pretty reports are useless as there is a serious bug in Stessa software, specifically how it processes transactions downloaded from your bank. I noticed it when I first signed up to this site several years ago and have messaged customer service numerous times. Occasionally it gets fixed but then goes right back to being broken again. I'll describe the specific issue below.

Excellent for tracking financials and leases across rental portfolio

Love it. It's central to the management and tracking of my real estate portfolio.

PROS

Well-designed, good UX, great reporting on property performance. Stessa is critical for tracking income and expenditures for tax time. Lease tracking and document aggregation across property managers is also done very well.

CONS

Some bank integrations are broken and Stessa does not seem inclined to fix them. I have to enter some transactions manually, which is annoying.
