Rentec Direct vs Rent Manager Comparison

This product is very easy to use. It is easy to correct entry errors, and it allows you to attach a variety of documents.

The software needs a tenant sorting feature and the ability to break down rent by rent, parking, storage etc.

The cost compared to others. Customer service is awesome. I like the tenant portal, it was one of the things I had to have when looking for rental software.

The set up cost for accepting rent payments is really high, considering there are other on-line rent companies that have free set up.

How entries are posted to the journals immediately and I can run a new report on the spot. Nothing has to post overnight.

I don't like the format of the rent statements, I have to explain it to most of my tenants. I think that it should start off with the rent amount for the current month, then the late fee for the current month, then the past due rent as a whole not broken up. Then the balance due. When my low to mid income renters get behind, they pay on the past due balance for a few months and pay the current rent. The option to create how the statement will show would be nice.

An all in one product that handles bookkeeping, tenant screening, communications and electronic rent collection.

Needs a better way of bulk editing transactions. Maybe some of this can be done by importing into quickbooks, but seems clunky on the platform.

Ease of use; e-signing; great potential tenant reports.

Accepting security deposits for a new tenant is not as straight forward as accepting monthly rent payments.

Thank you for your feedback, Robert! We really appreciate it. Remember, we're here for you if you ever have questions. Cheers!

Reasonable price for a small startup, easy to learn, good accounting piece, website is included, customer service is very responsive to inquiries.

On-line application limited to 5 custom fields, included website could use a bit more functionality, nothing more at this time.

Rent Collection for tenants to pay online, Marketing features and Credit/Background Checks will be very helpful!

Only been using for a few days so none so far. I will know as I utilize the software the areas most important including customer service.

reasonable cost, easy to learn and use looks professional , even for a small time manager

Tenant on line credit card rent payment option has too high fees But, payment from checking accounts very fair

All in one software to collect rent from the tenants using easy Pay and trusted accounting software by hundreds of clients

Report gathering and generation as well as customer support are two main issues needed to be concerned.

Rolling rent calculations are easily understood. Putting in owner expenses is relatively easy. As well as charge backs to the tenants.

Owner reports are not descriptive enough. Online portal takes too long to process and receive funds into our account.

Has greatly simplified my record keeping and lease process. The EasyPay option for online rent payments works great along with the online application process.

The con to using any cloud or online based software is not having the ability to work on anything when without Internet connectivity.

The customer service and ease of use! The system is extremely versatile and has lots of features to implement!

There’s a lot of features the keep track of! Also, if your tenant doesn’t pay rent on the first the system isn’t set up for that.

It's simple to use, and accounts can be used for several things, such as bank statements reconciliation and keeping track of payments. It does that math for me, and all I have to do is make sure I entered the right amounts. Rentec does the rest. Screening is also easy, and it's a one stop shopping. I also like the tutorials.

There are still some updates I would like for it to have. It doesn't track emails to owners. This is an important tool because our personal or business email address is cluttered. If we could check on the owners notes, I can tell quickly if they received an email from me or not. I also don't like the fact that I have to pay for tenants using the tenant portal to pay rent. The tenant should pay for using the portal, not the property manager.

Ease of use and allows us to do every thing we need to manage our properties effectively from rent collection, maintenance, application validation, marketing, reporting and more! The customer service is excellent!

The right click to get to menu items was tough without a mouse but now it is seamless.

We're happy you joined the Rentec Direct family, Patti, and that you're enjoying all your tools. Wishing you great success!
