My least favorite thing is the lack of a full API to allow for more customization.

they tried but should not advertise themselves for commercial

Cannot access login from search engine, locked out.

Simple enough and still has lots of power

I just make suggestions on improvements wherever I feel something could be improved or implemented....

Multiple users can access and work on the same documents simultaneously,

You have to text or email, response time can be an  hour to a day.  

Even though we jumped to Buildium for most of our Property Management activities, we stayed with Rentec for the marketing aspects as their system is probably the most flexible out there for that.

It has all the functions you need and more, it just lacked in some areas.

Support is always delayed, phone is never answered.  

This has helped us greatly in our marketing, especially for properties that we will only lease and not manage.

It would be better if we had 1 system doing everything but we are picky and want the best best of both worlds are willing to pay for it.

Their processor, Forte, often sends you back to Rentec, and Rentec sends you back to Forte, and the pricing of the merchant options is not clear or transparent until you get your bill.

The software is very intuitive and has many features I wasn’t even looking for in software but couldn’t imagine living without now.

Assistant property manager

It was not so easy to use and once you have too many properties it become more of a problem.

Partner

Rentec has been wonderful to work with from the initial point of contact regarding software questions prior to our subscription and as we continued to move forward with the set up and use of the software.  

I have email chains with OVER 15 EMAILS AND THE QUESTION STILL HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED.

Took me 20min on the phone and I knew this was it.

SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] reached out and stated even if you do not need nay help I would still like to welcome you and see how everything is going.

Just wish the tutorials were a little more thorough

What I like is the cost and thoroughness of the program.

So it is very affordable, and some of the software is pretty simple to set up.
