PayHOA vs Rent Manager: Which is a better fit?

James: I'm James. I'm the treasurer of a homeowners' association. We use the PayHOA accounting app to keep our financial records and I would overall rate that at about a three. Prior to using PayHOA, one of our homeowners who had been a math professor created a lot of Excel spreadsheets. They worked fine, but they only worked for him. As we started to think about someone else becoming treasurer, we looked outside to find some cloud-based app that could help us and PayHOA stood out. We chose PayHOA because it was inexpensive. It had some wonderful customer support, fantastic people to speak to who could have held our hand in getting on board and stayed in touch with us, or were available for many, many months afterwards. It's done its job very nicely. It's a good app, simple record keeping. We've been happy with it. It was very easy to onboard and integrate our homeowners records with PayHOA made all the easier by the fact that intelligent, very courteous staff people took much of that work on for themselves. Something seems to have happened to PayHOA. I don't know what it would be like to come aboard today. I'm going to assume the coming aboard may be excellent. We've now been clients of theirs for about a year and three quarters, and in the last year, pretty much they have been completely unavailable to service us. Calls are not returned, emails are not responded to, and that courtesy and that exquisite interpersonal manner that they shared with us simply is absent. I hope it comes back. The service is still wonderful and valuable, easy to use, but in having a problem which we've had, we just can't find answers to them whatsoever.

Jordan C.: My name is Jordan. I am a leasing and marketing manager of a company with less than 100 employees, and I give Rent Manager a five out of five. So we are a newer company, so we did have a few systems that we tried before Rent Manager, but nothing that really stuck. Since we have both multifamily and single family properties, Rent Manager was one of the only options that offered both capabilities for us, so we have used that very strongly since almost the inception of our company. Rent Manager has worked great for us to both manage single family properties as well as multifamily properties. We love the customization options that we have, and in addition, it has worked great for us. Being able to get started with Rent Manager has been great. In addition, you can really customize your own reports, which we have genuinely appreciated. Additionally, any questions that we have, we can work with that customer service team and they are very quick to answer and always willing to help. I think the biggest thing for us is that we genuinely have to work to customize those reports. So working with your team and working with Rent Manager's team to make sure that you can get the information needed.
