deesims Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Is there a standard software package that most people use for managing rental properties? I have a few too many Excel spreadsheets and think there must be a better way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugsy Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Landlords Property Tax Manager - pretty foolproof really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 The one we use is called Landlord Enterprise - they just released a new version for 2009. It does all of the accounting, scheduling, maintenance logs, and manages all of our tenants, units, and leases. It tracks all of my payments, late fees, and expenses. It contains lease and application forms. The tech support is pretty good and they have a free trial at www.landlordenterprise.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkirk Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Having just suggested Excel, I'll clarify that a bit more. As said I only have a few properties but I still only use one spreadsheet, you are probably not using them to their full capability. The software I've come across is basically excel or an excel based database and i don't feel the need to have this just for all the front end stuff. Each to their own . cheers Selkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardifflandlord Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I use EZPZ software. Full SAGE nominal ledger. Quite difficult to navigate at first but does what I want. Support Excellent. Very patient and helpful even for a complete numpty like me. Have used Landlord Manager as well: Glitzy Desktop - not convinced reporting accurate. Support IMHO Crap. You pays your maney and takes your chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson C Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 The first step in choosing rental property management software is to choose a program that is easy to use. It is also important to find property manager software that is tailored to your unique needs. It isn't worth paying for features you will never use but you want to make sure you have all the functionality you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Dewsberry Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 jeeeeez How difficult can you make this eh ? all you need is 5 columns 1. Income (rent) from prop, signs, garages, parking etc 2. Mortgage payments (& rem, finance legals etc) 3. Improvements 4. Running costs (gas lecky etc) 5. Repairs let the accountant do the rest, then the only program you need to worry about is what time "Homes under the hammer" starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
