We love using Buildium, it keeps track of all my property management needs. From expenses to what tenants owe. We also love using all the reports. Highly Recommended!
The only con I would say I’ve had so far is I wish they would text alert you when a tenant pays online.
I wish I would of known about the company before using another software I was using for many years. The price is great and it does exactly what I need from a property management software.

The program itself is very good, I use it to keep track of my properties financial accounts, perform background screens, to coordinate and collaborate with tenants about issues going on with a property, and my tenants love being able to pay online. Plus, their are plenty of how to videos in case you get lost somewhere. The mobile app has greatly improved since my last review.
I would love to be able to customize the owner statements as I get frequent complaints from my owners about not being able to understand the way it’s done up. If I could customize or make it to where it gives me cash-basis statement reports where it clearly shows how much came in, how much went out, would be great. The mobile app has gotten MUCH better and my one and only gripe with it is that I can’t sort out tasks by property, which would be helpful for managing my tasks for my associations on the go do-able. Right now it just gives me EVERY task assigned to me which, with 13 different associations, can be a list of several hundred items, which is unmanageable when you can’t sort or filter out by properties. But otherwise, the mobile app is excellent. Finally, it’s kind of pricey, but it is a one-stop solution so I can’t complain too much.
That it had existed before I discovered them 🙂

Buildium is an amazing property management software. They are affordable and have such incredible features. Easy to use and set up.
They have improved so many features it is hard to say what they are missing now. They have a tremendously helpful set up for most property management companies.
I wish I had more knowledge of the use of Buildium …I switched to a very expensive program and since then they have improved so much that I may have stayed had I known and saved money.

Great Software! User friendly, built in accounting system and many other functions if you choose to use them (lease writing, inspection tracking, create maintenance work orders…etc)
I have had no issues with Buildium as a whole. Customer service is very pleasant and helpful.
The add-on charges for various items.

They are great at thinking ahead in what the users need. We do property management and it is so easy and quick to keep records. It does everything well.
Tech support was having issues with a long wait time to talk to someone. I do believe it has been resolved. And I haven’t had any issues to have to call them.
There website offers a free trial so you know ahead of time what to expect. So to answer that it would be nothing. They have all their bases covered.
