Buildium: A Killer Property Management Software Solution

April 24 2011

Buildium LogoWe’ve been searching for an online property management software solution, and we found it…

We (well, my lovely wife, Francy) spend far too much time preparing owner statements, collecting rents, processing applications, etc., etc., etc.

Enter Buildium. What can it do?

How about:

  • Maintain complete accounting records for each property
  • Track tenants, association owners, charges and payments
  • Run credit and background checks
  • Give property owners online access
  • Receive maintenance requests and generate work orders
  • Accept and issue electronic payments
  • Give residents online account access
  • Give online access to your property management team
  • Market and fill vacancies online
  • Generate reports
  • Generate 1099s
  • And more… much more

The interface is user friendly and intuitive. We managed to set up all our properties and tenants in just a couple of hours with zero training or even perusing the help files. (Buildium offers extensive training and help if you need it.)

In a matter of hours we were able to process rental applications, market properties and collect electronic payments – all from the comfort of our Internet connection.

Buildium sets up a semi-customizable website for you – ours is at ThompsonsPM.com – and from here both property owners and tenants can log in and make payments, request repairs, print reports, and view account balances. Prospective tenants can search for properties and fill out a rental application.

It’s all wrapped up in a tidy package, at very reasonable rates.

Not a Property Management Company?

If you own investment property and do your own property management, Buildium has you covered! Their Landlord Edition covers everything you need.

Heck, they even have a product for Home Owner Associations (HOAs), too!

Highly Recommended!

It’s not often that I get all gushy over a piece of software, but put simply, Buildium gets it. They have managed to tie together a huge variety of functions into one fully integrated package that will solve all your property management woes. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it works.

Check out Buildium, you won’t regret it. They have a free 15-day trial – no credit card, no obligation, no nothing. I suspect if you give it a chance and take a few minutes to explore the wide set of features and functions, that you will see how using Buildium can simplify your life and take your property management business to the next level.
