The real cost of Buildium

You're paying enterprise prices for a portfolio you don't have

What small landlords are saying

Sound familiar?

“Already a little weary about the $40/month price tag… they hiked it 25% and offered nothing extra. Seems they don’t really care about small landlords.”

Landlord, 6 units
BiggerPockets forum

“The transaction fees add up fast. $1.99 per incoming payment means my tenants paying on time is literally costing me extra every month.”

Landlord, 4 units
r/Landlord

“I just need to track rent, log expenses, and not panic at tax time. I don’t need software built for a 300-unit property management company.”
