Build Property Management Software in 21 Days
Tenant portal, rent collection, maintenance requests, and lease management — your Buildium, built for your portfolio.
Why Property Management Software development is hard to get right
Buildium, AppFolio, and Yardi charge $1–2 per unit per month — adding up to thousands annually for mid-size portfolios
Rent collection via ACH (not just credit card) is required for most landlords but complex to implement correctly
Maintenance request workflow (tenant reports → landlord reviews → contractor assigned → resolved) spans multiple user types
Lease document storage and renewal reminders seem simple but are always underscoped in property tech builds
What we build — in detail
Property & unit management
Property portfolio, units per property, unit details (size, floor, features). Vacancy status, move-in/out dates.

Frequently asked questions
How does ACH rent collection work?
Stripe ACH Debit lets tenants link their bank account via Plaid and authorize recurring charges. Funds settle in 3–5 business days at 0.8% (capped at $5) vs. 2.9% for cards — critical for rent amounts over $1,000/month.
