CEO/President/Owner, Other Business Services, Lehigh Acres, FL
"WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC PROGRAM-We own rental property. We co-own rental property. We also manage property that we do not own. For this reason we must treat our property management and maintenance as its own company, because we extend its services to other companies besides our own properties. Therefore we need a software that effect multiple reports simultaneously. For ex./ If we collect a single rent check for $500, it would add $500 to the property report, add $500 to our holding companies report, subtract $50 (10%) from the property's and holding company's report for management fees, add $50 (10%) to our management companies report, effecting each report simulataneously-so we dont have to open and close each report and manually add and subtract them."
