Pros/Cons
Pros
- If you are looking for a reliable software to manage your own properties or you are a property manager who wants a nice solid software for a good price, I highly recommend Buildium.
- I think this is the best bang for your buck. You get full accounting, great tenant and property management, and great customer service all for a very good price.
- Thanks for making this app. Good job for the owner of this also your admin very reliable to fix some issue and that the one I really love so far.
Cons
- If you accidentally miss a document or upload them in the wrong order (as is required in my agency) you have to delete them and start all over again.
- It has also been glitchin from time to time and that can delay applications and tasks and it's very frustrating.
- Hard to set up late fee charges for each unit. Even tenants paid on time and their balance is $0, the software post late fees and no option to modify settings.
Pros
- Outstanding customer service; great value. The program is intuitive to use and has many useful features.
- What I like about Rent Manager the most is that it is easy to use and the customer service is amazing.
- Good program with excellent support, affordable price and great functionality.
Cons
- Fundamental usability flaws mean frustration and unnecessary time spent especially with repetitive tasks, and sore wrists from all the mousing that shouldn't be necessary.
- It's not web based yet...but then again, I tried a web based site and it was terrible. I had such limited features.
- Inexperienced tech support makes it frustrating when they do not know how to handle.
