Pros

“I use it internationally, and it doesnt have options for multiple currencies , i have to switch all accounts to euros, and back to dollars, depending on what account and property. ”

David B.

Manager

“I wish it had better options for expanding our business, as we are moving from only house and apartments to motels and hotels as well and Buildium doesn't have great option for that, so we will have to switch some of our properties when we find another option for those.”

Alexis R.

Property Management

“The different types of reports that I can pull, customize, filter and export are wonderful for providing to our Rental Owners.”

Kelli M.

Manager

Pros

“The software lets me create and customize leases from templates, which feels much more official than making something up myself. AND it saves the lease in my account with my edits, so that when I want to renew it I can just copy what I had last year.”

Alyssa E.

Landlord

“The features are practical and save me time from screening tenants to tracking expenses, I feel like I have real control over the details.”

Danielle D.

Owner

“The thing I liked least about Avail was that some of the leases did not seem to be as thorough as having a certified lease, but avail allows you to upload your own lease if you don't like the free options they provide.”

Loan T.

Project Manager

Cons

“The reports are very boiler plate and require you to download them as an Excel in order to Change the names manually in excel reather than having customizable options.”

Ally N.

Condominum Manager

“My only complaint is that we use Buildium for a commercial portfolio, one of our strip malls has separate fire (street) numbers for each unit.”

Cassandra D.

Real Estate Specialist

“In Canada we use the words Strata or Condominium ... but everything is the program is "Association" and many of the verbage in reporting is also "association" which is confusing for clients.”

Ally N.

Condominum Manager

Cons

“It can get expensive if you are managing multiple properties because there is a fee for each unit managed, and if you don't cover the fee then the tenant will have to.”

Michael H.

Owner

“Not ideal for managing a single property with people who are not great at jumping through multi-stage online processes.”

Marc M.

scientist

“Emails receive no reply, and talking to someone is not an option.”
