Deciding on the right property management software is never easy. However in order to help you to get the right property software solution for your business we have identified the top five pieces of functionality you should look for:

Property Management
This one goes without saying. Your chosen solution needs to have the ability to set-up every property, regardless of location (i.e. overseas) and to then capture all property related expenditures. In particular you need to make sure the solution will allow you to set-up rooms with a property so that you can assign tenants to rooms and also register all your property related insurance policies and certificates.

Tenant Management
Tracking exactly how much your tenants are paying and when they are paying are essential ingredients for the success of your business. Every landlord software package should have a comprehensive tenant management module allowing you to manage tenants, generate tenancies & other legal documents, manage rents and generate tenant reminders.

Finance Management
Failure to manage your loans and mortgages properly could ...
... cripple your property cashfow. Therefore make sure that your chosen property software solution allows you to easily manage all your loans so that just by the touch of a button you can see how your portfolio is performing and your debt status.

Reports
No property software is complete without a comprehensive list of reports. After all, it is these reports that will allow you to track, monitor and assess how your property portfolio is performing. Some essential reports will include, profit and loss, cost history, rental income from tenancies, overdue rents etc.

Tax Management
Last but not least - tax management! Your chosen software provider should include functions that allow you to estimate what your tax liability will be on your rental income. Including this module your supplier will be reducing your accountancy and taxation fees.
