The best property software fits the work you do.
An agency, a self-managing landlord and an owner with an agent need different tools.
Start with who manages the property.
Shortlist within the right kind before you compare features.
You manage your own rentals
Landlord software: properties, tenants, agreements, inspections, repairs and dates.
You run an agency
An agency platform: trust accounting, owner reporting and processes for many owners.
An agent manages it for you
Perhaps nothing new. Ask what their system shows you, and what you keep if you leave.
Then put each option to three tests.

Questions about choosing property management software.
It depends on who manages the property. Agencies need trust accounting and owner workflows; self-managing landlords need a simpler record of their own rentals. Shortlist within the right kind first.
The work you repeat: agreements, inspections, repairs and dates. Then the mobile app, the exports and the cost over a year.
Yes, if you need its financial controls and portals. If not, the extra setup and price can get in the way.
Price one year at your size. Include the tier you need, message and payment charges, setup, and what happens when you pass a limit.
No. Software keeps the records and organises the work. A property manager does the work and makes decisions for the owner.
Answer the next question.

Start with one property.
Add it and the people who live there today. The rest of your rentals can follow when it suits you.
