Bulidum is used to track all financials, along with lease terms, tenants and vendors. These 100 units are split between the ownership of 5 LLCs and 8 different bank accounts. Buildium is user-friendly for basic management uses, however, this software is inefficient and difficult when attempting to communicate between the various companies. Specifically, a note between LLC A and LLC B will only register on one LLC ledger, and therefore must have 2 accts. to show the debit and credit for each company. Also, the Bills feature when paid with the Check feature, locks any information regarding the Bill, and cannot be undone, unless the transaction is un-reconciled. Also, you have to un-reconcile all months up to the desired date, meaning if you want to fix a date from May, and it is August, you have to un-reconcile July & June to get to May. It is really not as fun as it sounds. The software also poses problems with credit/deposit transfers. Crediting a tenants deposit to a different unit, will not be transferred into the security deposit liability acct. of that new unit. Overall, Builidum lacks on the financial side but is good for very basic transactions.,It is visually pleasing.
I am able to see the rent roll and tenants easily.
Warnings for leases about to expire are convenient.
The custom date range is very helpful.,Reconciliation adjustment, please enact a password setting. Having to un-reconcile 4 months to get to the desired date is ridiculous.
Fix the notes & loans to have communication between separate companies.
Allow for duplicate vendors to merge.
Give a re-send option for tenant portal use/creation.
Allow to search by Invoice # (reference #)
Fix the credit system, allow the transfer of deposits from one unit to be moved to another.
When ending a lease, show the ledger adjustments as you add charges/refund deposits etc.
Option to see duplicate transactions!!,1,I have spent 50 hours trying to get a clear P & L and it is ridiculous.
It is not well made.
I can only send 10-99s through one company, so I had to HAND WRITE 50 1099 FORMS.,AppFolio Property Manager,QuickBooks PremierMadison VojakProperty Maintenance Coordinator - Software Review2017-02-16T18:36:39.799ZI work for a residential property management company. We have been using Buildium for about the past 5 years, company-wide. Buildium allows us to communicate with other departments of the office, as well as our tenants and home owners. In our company communication is a key component in our success, as there are many different parties involved in the company, from employees, management, and clients. Buildium allows us to all stay updated, informed and in touch.,It documents the date and time of all updates and communications, which are essential to the companys records.
It allows external clients to communicate and stay in touch with our company, as well as access information.
It serves as a large database for all of our customer and client information that is very user-friendly.,The emailing feature is difficult to use.
We are not able to update buildium directly of our communications, so we must manually input our email communications.
We are not able to upload files larger than 12 MB.,8,Buildium creates ledgers that include any missed payments so we are able to keep track of these instances, and collect payment.
Buildium allows me to get more timely responses in my department, through task management and reminders.Zaina KroschinskiManaging Through Buildium, Juggling over 500 properties2017-02-16T18:07:36.349ZBuildium is being used by every employee at Rental Advisors. We use it to track every interaction we have with our clients and tenants. It allows other to see who had contact with them last, and what is still in progress so that everyone is up to date. This helps to readily present to every member what is going on without needing to talk to every employee in person.,Provides a forum of communication between team members.
Tracks progress on all tasks with reminders for follow ups.
Quick access to important documents are always available to all members rather than going through the filing room.,If I have one task open under a property address, I am unaware of recent updates made to other tasks under the same address. A quick sidebar with recent updates for that property would really improve communications.
If one task is open and assigned to me, I would also like a sidebar that shows the titles of other tasks I have under the same property under my name. This way I can send 1 email about all inquiries, rather than 3 emails to the same person about 3 separate subjects.
Emailing "compose" button would be great if we could link it directly to our Gmail company server. I would like to eliminate the "copy and paste" functions for emails and titles.,8,Unfortunately, I do not have access to our ROI numbers. However, in terms of management, the program has made us all more efficient in our work.
We have seen an increase in customer satisfaction with our response time.Yanna BonderBuildium review as the best Property Management software2017-02-16T18:12:01.402ZBuildium is being used across the whole company.
