BuyerZone user comments: property management software purchasing requirements
"Initially I will only manage 1-5 individual residential apartments, located in different buildings in NYC. I am looking for a user-friendly program/software with a modern interface. In the future I will likely manage more individual units (not buildings), so there needs to be room for growth (not large scale)."

"I like how the accounting end of Peachtree works for my needs. What I am really loking for is a automated rent roll that the properties can record their rent payments and a delinquent list can be generated. We usually have at least 3 rent drops in these economice times and often there would be more than 1 posint ot an apartment unit due to roomates paying separately. I would also like the ability to integrate online payments but not sure how to accomplish this. I am a novice at this and a small property managment firm with as simplistic programs as possible."
