Reporting is important and Buildium lets you know who owes how much and what bills need to be paid. It simplifies the bookkeeping aspect and gives accurate accounting if used properly. Really enjoy having a dashboard with all critical information at my fingertips.
Pros
Buildium is packed with features to streamline property management and cashflow. There is no better way to accept tenant payments and pay vendors online with the click of a few buttons. Once we got our tenants and vendors using the payment portal, we drastically reduced time spent on processing paper bills and checks. There are so many ways to automate tasks and save time.
Cons
I'm hoping that the developers add the "Duplicate Invoice" feature in the Bills module. This would save a lot of time when entering several bills at once. Setup is difficult but key to make the software work for you.
Reasons for Choosing Buildium

We have enlarged our client base with Buildium's features thanks to their focus on speed and accuracy with payments, reporting, and accounting ease.
Pros
Online payments are a game-changer.
Owner/tenant/HOA access allows each respective person the ability to view important reports and property status in real-time.
The property database is completely searchable from anywhere on the site.
Cons
The task feature is a bit wanting. It's good for what it is, but dedicated project management or to-do list applications work just as well or better in most cases.

Mostly this has been a positive addition to our overall operations and management of all of the properties we look after. Residential , Condos, Trailer Parks and Country Residential.
Pros
The ease of loading properties and Tenants as well as owners.
Cons
Options available in Application. There should be a spot for required bedrooms at the beginning so you aren't looking over all applicants for every property.
Response from RealPage
Thanks for your review, Barb. Rental Applications are customizable, so you can create custom fields and mark them as required so all your applicants need to complete them to submit. Check with our customer care team for assistance on how to do this.

While using the mass email function to send owner reports I've had multiple issues with the system not recognizing owner email addresses. I've called customer service and emailed and still have no resolution. The first 1 1/2 I was with Buildium were fantastic. Customer service was helpful and always had the right answer. About a year ago something changed and calls to customer service no longer produce results. I'm considering switching to a new program.
Pros
I like the ease of use, little training is needed to make full use of the system.
Cons
The owner portal isn't as easy to use as expected.
