Does anyone else think that the vast majority of Property Management/Investment/Ripoff software on the market today generally sucks?

If so what sort of features would you like to see in your ideal product, and what sort of price would you be willing to pay, provided that you were getting the best on the market?

Love to hear thoughts from like minded individuals..

I purchased Jan Somers PIA software. It has a lot of good features on it, so Im lead to beleive. My only problem I have with it is that I dont know how to use it.

A software package that would enable you to do the DD on a complete wrap would be good, ie you cost and the cost to the purcahser.

Hi Folks,

agree with your comments. I’ve been looking at contact management tools recently (as opposed to property management)

I’m looking for something that will help me manage my list of contacts but also allows me to attach files ie Letters and faxes that I send, and makes notes of telephone conversatione etc.

Act! is something that looks good, but it’s a bit pricey.

Any ideas?

Regards

Marco

I use PIA for Analysis. It’s easy to use and produces a number of good reports. Also good for analysis of multiple properties (ie Portfolio)

I’m currently testing a programme called POSH for managing my properties. It was recommended by API magazine. POSH also has good anaylsis tools but not as detailed as PIA.

Good Tenant database, expense tracking, house details, rent, house details etc…

Hi,

I’ve downloaded the ez-rent program. It’s a very nice application, simple to use with good instructions.

Cheers.

Hi jempire

If you’re having problems with your PIA software could I suggest you email Ian directly. He’s a fantastic guy to talk with (I have met him personally ) and is very patient and understanding
