I like their UI approach however with customizable widgets on home page. AppFolio Property Manager – $104/mth, but has $280/mth minimum. Too expensive. Buildium – $224/mth essentials only Easy HOA – $59/mth – too simplistic. Not much is integrated. No link between owner request and action taken by management, no link between invoice and owner request. ManageCasa – $139/mth starting price. Too high! Demo done Got demo […]
