Pros from Real Users Pros Intuitive, Allows for files to be downloaded and easy search. Tenant portal is easy for payments and tasks. We have been using Buildium for 8+ years. It streamlines all of our processes from tenant screening, rent collection to work orders. I love the Resident Center in which our tenants can submit work orders, upload pictures and videos of issues, they can communicate through the system as well as pay their rent and view documents. It is phenomenal. We recently started using the reconciliation function which will save us so much time that we can then spend on growing our business. One thing I can attest to, is over the years, the improvements that were made based on feedback of users like us. It's hard to find a program that will evolve as an industry evolves to stay ahead of the learning curve. I like all the integrations in one app for bookkeeping, leasing, memos, maintenance requests, billing etc. Buildium is easy to setup and use. I like the accounting features in Buildium better than some other accounting software products. I have been using Buildium since 2010 and I love it. We started on Buildium with couple of residential units. Today we manage huge portfolio of commercial real estate. I like the financial reports, EFT features to receive the rent as well electronic payments to vendors are huge time saving features. For the most part it’s user friendly, easy to navigate & communicate with tenants. I love the templates & ease of running reports. Buildium has adapted and added features and integrations that have been very helpful. The customer service has always been excellent. Support team is responsive and helpful. The software itself is easy to use and makes maintenance requests, rent collection and tenant communications a breeze. Buildium Academy courses and articles were especially helpful to get our company up and running. It's easy to set up as a "user" with one property unit managed by CornerStone, some of the Co-owners in our community could own more units. I have been using Buildium for over 10 years and it is user friendly and keeps thorough records and offers many user options. I am not very tech savvy and the system is fairly easy to understand. You can either look at charges by date or by account. You can keep up with tenants' insurance fairly easy. The report is easy to follow.		Pros from Real Users Pros Rent Manager delivers great value for medium-to-large portfolios, though it’s pricey for small landlords—customer support is responsive but slower at month-end, and while the desktop version is powerful once you learn it, the mobile app still has occasional bugs and crashes; that said, tenant and rental management are excellent, with reliable rent collection and deep customization options. Incredibly smooth implementation process, really set me up to be able to go out on my own after the 3 months. Very good program for managing tenants and reports for the real estate management firm. easy to use. If you want great customer service that is what you will get. Not only are they quick to solve the issue but they go extra mile and are very patient and kind. user friendly and intuitive software. Boost your team's efficiency with a seamless, easy to use interface I really find texting to be huge, as it allows for seamless and fast communication with all of our tenants in the building, as well as other properties. Rent Manager provides clear oversight to those in management about what's going on with tenants and prospects, which means anyone can pick up where someone left off with full clarity. The ability to integrate with our leasing software is essential. The UI and graphical aspect of Rent Manager is easier to grasp and more straightforward than Yardi. The initial setup was also very easy. The system brings leasing, maintenance, accounting, reporting, and tenant communication into one easy‑to‑use platform. The search tools, workflows, and automation options save a tremendous amount of time. I also appreciate how smoothly it integrates with third‑party tools and how powerful the reporting features are. The IT person was very helpful and very polite. He went in to use my computer to double check to make sure everything was correct. It was. user friendly & I can always call support if I get stuck. Rent manager university was a huge help to me coming from QuickBooks. I did quite a few tutorials. Great customer support, they are willing to help with anything and are super joyful to speak to. As well as the reporting is top-notch
