Our Impressions
Overall, the LandlordMAX property management software was a solid product. It lived up to its claim to be "the easiest property management software on the market today". It was very easy and intuitive to set up and use.
The sticker price feels a little hefty at first but when you consider all the different software packages that this is combining and replacing, and the fact that it is a one-time expense, the price seems fair.
We did find the interface to be a little spartan and lacking a certain level of visual appeal. I am not sure if I'd want to have to look at this program all day long.
Pros
We really liked how quick and easy it was to instal and set up up. Installation was fast and flawless. Within minutes we were up and entering information. The software is well laid out and we felt at home right away.
Cons
If you have never used this type of software before, you may not find it very intuitive. The manual is helpful but it would have been even better to have a wizard guide us through entering the basic information such as our management company details, the details for our first building, unit and tenant - just so we would learn the correct methods and know how to do it for the rest of our units.
Our Final Word
The LandlordMAX property management software has many useful features and was easy to install and use. For what it is, it works well. Our feeling is that it is missing some of the bells and whistles that their competitors offer. But, if you are looking for a reasonably priced, workhorse tool with no fluffy bits, then this product should be an excellent addition to your business.
