I used to think that real page and Yardie were easy. Hands down you have them beat > > **Cons**: I wish there were some customized letters that we could generateWith your program. It would make it easy when I'm trying to do delinquency letters > > I learned something new every month. It is very easy to pull reports. Regardless of whether they are maintenance or rent reports. ----- ### "A Bookkeeper's Perspective" — 4.0/5 > **Lisa** | *20 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buildium is super easy to use for the most part. It has a great layout that is user friendly. For the accounting forms and co-owner forms, one only needs to enter the requested information, everything else is done behind the screens. The speed of transitioning from page to page and updating of information is excellent. Recurring transactions, that on our previous software had to be processed on a certain day of the month, have now all been automated with Buildium. > > **Cons**: Closing work orders is not yet being closed by our maintenance staff, so I get a stack of them to close. I have tried several different ways to just go back to the list. The program will not take me back to the list. The best way that I have figured out how to do it is on the first time in the work orders list is to put in a filter for the work order number, then after closing that work order, go back to maintenance tab, then work orders, then putting in the new work order number. Basically, going back to the beginning for each work order, except that the filter will stay as long as I work on them consistently at that time. On our previous software, there was an option to search for a dollar amount, which was very helpful, especially in the banking area. Buildium does not have that option except to use the computer keyboard functions and only on the current page. When paying a vendor by an EFT payment through Buildium, they each have to be paid separately so the exact amounts so up in the banking area to balance the bank statement. If they get paid all at the same time, Forte will put the total amount into the bank account in Buildium instead of posting them individually. I was unable to link the auto reconciliation for the bank statement because there was an issue with app that is being used for that purpose. Buildium could not help me resolve the issue since it is not their app. There was no support for the other app. The lock-box files from the bank also have to be entered manually into each individual co-owner ledger account. Our previous software allowed that process to be done through a list and searching for the account number. > > Overall, Buildium has been mostly helpful. Buildium would be wise to give some review and consideration to the additional accounting apps that are being connected through their system to make sure that they are functioning as they are meant to. The normal payment processing of co-owner payments and also making vendor payment is quick and easy. Customer support is always eager to help. I cannot say whether or not it is a good value for the money since I do not use all aspects of the system. Based on the news letters, I feel that it is geared more for rentals than for a condo association that has only 10% rentals, which are only rented through the co-owner of the unit. Therefore, I cannot comment on any portion of the lease management either. ----- ### "Buildium is not what I initially signed up for." — 2.0/5 > **Deb** | *1 July 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to keep track of expenses and income. It made end of the year much easier at tax time. > > **Cons**: I tried to talk to someone about my subscription. NO ONE wanted to talk to me. Yes I know we are a small operation, but I requested to speak to some one about my subscription and no one had the time to talk to me or did not want to talk to me. I do not like that you have to start with a 25 unit subscription and that the price kept going up. > > I dropped out of the program. No one was interested in hearing what I had to say or to address my concerns. ----- ### "Solid Platform with a little room to grow" — 5.0/5 > **Naomi** | *9 March 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for money customer service I love the user interface. The rent collection is amazing. The reporting is extremely helpful > > **Cons**: The platform doesn't allow me to customize different contract templates- so i cant create distinct leases for my houses and separate agreements for my camper rentals. In the ledger when the tenants pre pay before rent is due the pre payment entries are confusing. > > Amazing\!\!\! Buildium nails customer service, handles small and large businesses, and keeps improving with new features- tax season is smooth\! ----- ### "Good Value for the Money" — 4.0/5 > **David** | *24 March 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for money. Allows a reasonable price as you grow your portfolio. The 1099 process and statement of Owner's accounts are pretty easy and straight forward. > > **Cons**: Reconciliation often has problems. I have to unlink and link bank accounts or wait a couple of days for it to get fixed. Always works eventually, so not too terrible. Also, when collecting mgt fees and maintenance income fees, they get charged on two separate account lines and since there is no way to automatically pay them out like a bill, I have to manually transfer those funds through my bank accounts in multiple transfers or they will not match my Buildium Reconcile. ----- Page: 1 / 90\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1154/buildium-property-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1154/buildium-property-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
