Pros:

I love the component of Property Management and Accounting together. For business utilize other softwares for accounting, AppFolio makes it so much easier. Also when you own or manage your own PM company this will be the best when having a big portfolio!

Cons:

It is much more loaded that other softwares. So for those that are not to technologically driven this will take longer to dominate

Pros:

What isnt there to like about appfolio property management. From the tenant and lease management. Which has everything right at your fingertips. To customer support and payment management. Its make it so easy to see what is getting done and how quickly its getting done. The onboarding process is very simple and if you ever need help. All you have to do is pick up the phone and they are right there. The low cost upfront makes it so worth every penny spent.

Cons:

I dont think there is anything that i dont like about it. And honestly i dont think there is anyone that will say differently.

Pros:

Easy to access for both property management and residents. I appreciate the reporting history so you can see direct actions of staff.

Cons:

It would be helpful to have a direct point of contact representative with the company. Sometimes you have a more complex issue you are facing and have to submit an inquiry first with AI.

Appfolio for SFR

Overall Appfolio really does make it simple, the platform is user friendly, and the support is great. If I don't know how to do something very specific, their system provides support to teach me, and if it doesn't, they have reps who can help.

Pros:

Appfolio makes management of our SFR portfolio simple and efficient. It gives us all the tools to provide a successful rental experience from lead to move out. It even tracks after move out things like turns and then marketing a home.

Cons:

Appfolio doesn't have many cons but for improvement purposes I would say, more automation would be great. In this day and age things like delinquency and lead management should be automated, and many other services are doing that. Their new product LISA does handle lead management but we haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

Reasons for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

The ease of use, and the ability to simplify the process for our team.

Started a new position elsewhere. They were using appfolio, and I like it better.

Pros:

AppFolio is a user friendly program. I used this program that I had multiple properties/communities and it was easy to switch between the different properties. One of the best features was the ability to complete move out inspection and attach photos through the mobil app!

At the time I was using the program, there was no way to do property while messaging.

Bad experience, be very careful, ask to try out the tech support

We came over from Rent Manager, where the tech support was superior. We could reach a live person to answer our questions for a project we were working on, Appfolio herds you into a AI chat que, then you can request to online chat with a tech support person that usually refers you to an article or the academy, then if you need further assistance you can request a call, but that gets scheduled out 2-4 days...not kidding... so if you are working on a project don't expect to complete the task anytime soon. The tech support is about as fast as mailing letters to each other.

It has been terrible. They do not answer your questions. They send you to AI for an answer. This weekend they took away the ability to schedule a call.

Pros:

Not a single thing. You cant see ledgers. You have to pull up a report. You cant see what has been deposited. Another report....

Cons:

We have just started using Appfolio. It has been a complete nightmare. Appfolio has removed their customer support. You can not speak with a human anymore. They are now AI based and what ever you ask they respond with an article. We have had trouble every step of the way and when we do get an email from someone for something random, we try to ask a question and they refer us to AI. There has not been any training for our staff. We are so frustrated after a month of use I am considering changing software again after 1 month.

Poor Multi-Family Experience

I first used AppFolio as a Single-Family property manager. I had not used AppFolio for 6 years, and when I used it again, it was as a multi-family property manager. The experiences as a customer for each of these asset types was drastically different. AppFolio has also been difficult to work with on solutions that we expect with our management software.

Pros:

Everything regarding the apartment is in one place like paying rent, viewing lease, etc. You can easily click the buttons, and you can log in just fine.

Cons:

The AI chatbot that took over the maintenance request section. It is very difficult to use and seems impossible to be heard when talking to the robot. Additionally, it is extremely hard to get into contact from a person at AppFolio. There is no email or hardly any phone numbers available.
