Buildium allows property managers to post vacancies, fill rental properties with reliable tenants, and manage operations with ease. Since Buildium is an end to end property management system, you can manage payments, repair requests, and vacancies all in one platform.

Buildium’s layout is clean and organized. It’s easy to navigate the platform and find the tools you need. You can toggle between sections using the green bar at the top. The shortcuts bar at the bottom gives you quick access to commonly used functions like adding a new tenant or recording a rent payment. Under the Rentals section you can view information on rental properties, tenants and applicants, and listings. When you click on specific property, you can see an image of the property and information like financials and maintenance requests.

Under the Accounting section, you can view a general ledger for all accounts, or you can view financial information sorted by property and property owner. In this section, you can also record bills, payments, and other financial information.

It’s a powerful property management tool that can be used in many capacities and is especially useful for medium sized businesses managing 5,000 or more units. Buildium is moderately priced for an all-in-on property management solution. Pricing is based on the features you select and the number of units you manage. One limitation we discovered while reviewing Buildium is that it may not integrate well with other back-end systems. Since it’s an all-in-one solution, it’s meant to replace other tools and systems.

Also, some users wish that the accounting features were more advanced. In summary, Buildium helps businesses Post and fill rental vacancies, manage accounting for multiple properties, and track tasks like repairs and complaints.
