It has accounts receivable and payable to manage vendor relationships, reports, allows you to choose between cash or accrual accounting, and budgeting tools.
Biggest Pitfalls
Dated Design
The Propertyware design is dated and old, reminiscent of UI trends from maybe 2010. It is one of the older players in the property management software space and it feels like it.
This might plausibly be an advantage if you or admins are most familiar with the Propertyware design and don’t want things changed up. But they could definitely make some UI improvements.

My Personal Recommendation
My broker’s brokerage uses Propertyware. I have experience with it from the owner side as my broker manages my own rental. It’s always been easy to get what I need from my owner’s portal.
My broker has also taken advantage of some of their additional tools like the rental insurance and vendor management.
They’ve been very happy with it and have between 400-500 units.
As mentioned, my tour of the software shows that it is definitely a little more dated than some competitors. I think it’s still plenty usable and shouldn’t frustrate a user.
I thought it was interesting that Real Page bought Buildium, Propertyware’s competitor. Their stated intent is that Buildium is a good entry level solution for smaller property managers while Propertware is designed for larger PMs. This is evidenced by their additional accounting features.
If you prize those features then Propertyware is a strong contender for your business, though Buildium is comparably priced and a nice too itself.
