Self-managing landlords with small portfolios struggle to find property management software that fits their scale, as most tools are built for 200+ unit companies, leaving them relying on manual spreadsheets.

Existing property management software is overbuilt for small landlords and feels like overkill, while spreadsheets lack features like rent tracking, lease management, maintenance requests, and compliance date reminders, but no tool bridges the gap between simplicity and functionality.
