## How to choose property management software

1. Match tool to unit count1-50 units (small landlords / DIY): RentRedi, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, Hemlane. 50-1000 units (property managers): Buildium, AppFolio. 1000+ units (enterprise): Yardi, RealPage. Match to scale; tools fail outside their target range.
2. Audit rent collectionACH (cheap), credit card (expensive but convenient), rent reporting to credit bureaus, late fees. The rent collection feature set drives much of the day-to-day value. Test on a real tenant flow before committing.
3. Plan for accounting integrationProperty management generates accounting entries (rent income, expenses, depreciation). Tools with strong QuickBooks integration or built-in accounting (AppFolio, Buildium) reduce monthly close pain.

## Honorable mentions

- [RentRedi](https://toolradar.com/tools/rentredi) Best for small individual landlordsRentRedi is affordable, mobile-first, and covers rent collection + tenant screening cleanly. Strong for 1-20 unit owners.
