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.

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.

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.

This site has really helped me manage my rental properties much more easily and efficiently.... all of my accounting and info about interest rates/insurance/etc are all easily accessible in one spot. And their reports make it all easy to quickly review. Also great for doing my taxes.

Doesn't yet integrate with enough small banks, so I have to manually upload my transactions ever month via Excel.

It's ok. we wouldn't pay for it, not remotely. But it seems like they're trying to grow their business by solving the big problems only and ignoring the "small" ones. We will keep with them at least until the end of the year for ease of tax reporting, but will seriously look at other options as December rolls around.

Look, it's free, we get that. And it has added value to our business. But their inability to resolve a seemingly simple issue after 5 months is inexcusable.

For a software company, they are surprisingly not agile. Two examples:- For every nearly transaction that comes through, we have to attribute it to the property/tenant in spite of the amounts and ledgers being exactly the same every month. It appears the only AI they use is a checkbox that ties a bank account to a property. That's great for loans, but it should be able to handle rents too. - We can go on mint.com and enter all the log in credentials and that gives us every balance of every card. Stessa has continuously struggled with adding some credit cards attached to one of my banks. We have reached out to them for the better part of a year off and on and they seem perplexed and unable to wrap their heads around it. Now, after 5 months of us staying on them about it, they've ghosted us, or given us the "yeah we're working on it." If it's that hard to do, how can another company just do it with ease?

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

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.

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

With Stessa I can store all the financial, insurance and legal documents. I can enter and save and categorize every income and expense. I have a database of information that I can pull from or print. I have all the financial and business metric reports that I would ever need by various time periods. I love Stessa.

I like that I can store data, numbers, documents etc in a one stop shop.

It needs some expansion of categories and sub categories to cover common line items that it presently doesn't cover.

Worst Experience ever.

It was great at first until their customer service is the absolute worst and my link has not worked for 5 months and they just keep telling me sorry. They even told me if it does somehow work again, I will have to manually enter in EVEYTHING! It has been a nightmare.

Their customer service. Every time I received a response, it was very general and never helpful.

Love the software and you get a lot for a free program. There are items that can be improved but overall really happy with what Stessa is offering to their customers.

Free software that is very easy to use and set up. Running reports is a breeze and makes tax time extremely easy to manage as well.

The dashboard can be a little confusing since it considered capital expenditures in your cash flow. If you perform a roof replacement as part of your investment, it shows the average cash flow in a negative for a long time which can be misleading. Obviously, this is offset by a higher value of the property but I would like to see a feature to exclude extraordinary items in the cash flow analysis to see the property's sole operating performance. Lastly, the syncing of bank transactions can be up to a day delayed until they show up in the software.

Allows me to spend far less time managing the accounting aspects of my business. I am a small business owner with a full life and Stessa has allowed me to have a more enjoyable work/life balance.

Stessa is an easy to use, online real estate management software that is reliable, easy to learn, easy to use and almost fun. It had changed the way I look at accounting (a pain in the past), and I almost look forward to opening Stessa!

I wish I could force the software to "name" certain vendors the way I like when their info is automatically imported. It's a bit of a pain to have to go in and constantly update them from their "DBA" name to the name that I recognize in my daily business. Not a deal breaker, just a suggestion!

Excellent Software

Easy of use fantastic GUI.Dashboard has all the necessary basic information

The Connection with YODLEE is not good and needs tweaking.Different log in credentials still bring the bank institutions to the wrong log in.

Awesome. Well worth the time inputting​ the data.

Ease of use: It works the way it should. Automation: Once set up, the transactions of the download from owner each owner portal (when you own several properties), and bank accounts. User experience is similar to mint.com. Visibility: it creates a consolidated dashboard for the portfolio, and derivative clean graphs, giving perspective and showing trends. Amazing Customer support: hats-off to the reps, who have answered 10+ "hard questions". I only ask "hard questions" since the FAQ is also excellent. - Insightful newsletter.

No Cons per se. Just two humble recommendations. Users of Stessa would benefit tremendously if it: - it offered a function for marketing the property (i.e. find tenants or buyers). Stessa being a repository of information (location, yr built, sq footage, pictures), a few clicks should allow spreading​ the good news throughout the specialized sites (Craigslist Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, local websites...) - kept historical records of the tenant roll. Currently, it only offers a picture at the present time.

This is just a really well thought out application that allows you to track every and all expenses for the property. It can assign tags to all expenses to track them for each unit.

I really wish they would offer lease management in a way where you can create and edit the leases on the app and tenants can esign the leases.

It’s the first platform I’ve used that I have been able to use as a one stop shop for everything for our portfolio. We can manage our vacancies and tenancies, as well as our finances. It’s been great. Thanks [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the Stessa team!

This app is amazing. It’s the first platform that has allowed me to manage our entire portfolio directly from my phone if I want to. I can track all expenses and directly import from the bank, and assign to each property and even a specific unit.

I wish the transaction importing would occur in real time directly, versus having to log in and refresh the transactions.

Stessa is easy to use and keeps me organized. At tax time I am not scrambling to get information to my accountant.

No cons, I love this software and it allow me to focus on my business

The rental application process is simple

Rent collection. They fail to tell you to use it you have to use THEIR checking account. So you jump through hoops to set up a checking account you dont want. Then you try to get the money out of the account you didnt want in the first place and its a nightmare. And every problem is not their problem its your problem or your banks problem. Customer service is non existant. I wish I hadnt already asked my tenant to pay through them.

The easy expense and income tracking and that it's linked directly to our bank accounts.

Mileage and depreciation tracking would be nice but not necessary. CPA's do that.

Phenomenal. I've working in management consulting implementing technology systems for years and know what a pain it can be to transition data to a new system - and this experience has been nothing short of awesome. I am thrilled not to be using my Excel pivot table reports or having to manipulate Xero, Wave, QBO, Netsuite, etc. to fit my needs as a real estate investor. Really, incredible strategic move on Stessa's part and we are thrilled end-users.

Ease of use, integration with current banking systems, and focus on real estate investors. I was planning to drastically manipulate Quickbooks to make it work like Stessa - Stessa basically eliminated all of that work AND has a gorgeous user interface compared to QBO or my rigid Excel sheets!

Some features are still in the works (e.g. they just implemented new functionality to demonstrate sale proceeds from a flip, and are working to integrate to reporting) - but that's it. Really, it is INCREDIBLY simple to use, and any time I've had a question I've gotten a detailed answer within 24 hours.

I hate Stessa so much after a week of only broken links and inability to save tenants.

It downloaded super fast. Like there was no data downloading at all

Stessa turned out to be a scam! I wish I would not have waisted my time and money.

Positive experience to track trends and help with forecasting for portfolio

- Ease of use for product - Visualization of overall portfolio - Reports especially schedule of RE

- no integration with Buildium - no double entry accounting system

I came across this because I am a landlord of 6 properties and thought it would be extremely helpful to keep me organized. The idea behind it is perfect. It is fairly easy to use so I can stay organized.

What I did not care for is the fact that there isn’t a tool bar for me to change out other properties or add more properties. There maybe a glitch in the system. Once this is fixed, I can tell you I will be using this 100% of the time to keep my income and expenses organized.

Stessa has made the monitoring and managing of my multi-family rentals very easy. It gives you a nice snapshot of your properties performance at any time.

The software allows me to easily manage my multi-family rentals. Transactions can be automated and or easily entered manually.

I do not have any cons at the moment with this software.

Enables a snapshot view of the performance of my company that I didn't have in one place. Free solution and it's getting better every week.

It allowed me to get out of Excel manual entries for multiple properties for transaction reporting. The dashboards and added functionality such as better reporting, blogs, and downloads are a great plus. Owners respond directly to your questions. Great work!

I joined 2H of last year and the backlogged entries only went back a couple weeks (at the time). I had to manually enter all 1H transactions, which wasn't too bad. If I started near the beginning of the year it wouldn't have been an issue.

This software allows you to move from amateur to professional overnight.

Cash flow tracking Balance sheet Document storage and retrieval Dashboard of KPIs

Not much, they are always added new features

Just like the title suggests - so far so good. The customer support has been surprisingly quick and helpful. I had a few questions about future iterations and CSR was very quick to get back to me confirming that several suggestions would be available on the next release.

I am relatively new to using this tool and I appreciate the visibility that this tool offers me for my rental property(s) to look at different performance metrics. It kind of reminds me a hybrid of Mint and Personal Capital for Rental Properties. I see the potential of this tool platform and look forward to seeing where it goes!

I like how this tool allows for me to export different financial reports for different time periods, I just wish that it would give me all of the details of the summary data in the spreadsheet? Also, the data exported is appears to be just text data? If I want to modify any of the tables, I can't because there are no formulas?

Great product filling the void for small yet sophisticated investors to be able to track performance. Overall I'm very glad I found this product and plan to continue using it for future investments.

The interface is very easy to use and very powerful. Linking up the dedicated accounts to track expenses is a huge time saver for me. I can create professional statements and reports for my partners super easily.

I wish there was a more robust mobile app that was more than the expense inputs. Perhaps there will be one in the future.
