What We Like about Quicken Rental Property Manager (continued from Part 1)

As we have mentioned earlier, Quicken Property Manager is actually an all-in-one personal finance and accounting program for your financial life... whether it's savings, taxes, businesses, investments or rental properties.

We like the "Accounts" column which displays all your account balances in one place and gives you a quick snapshot of your overall financial health.


Considering that Quicken currently goes for $149.99 $99.99 (with free shipping), it is a great bargain if you are looking for a complete program to manage your money. On top of that, they have a 60 day money back guarantee so that makes your purchase totally risk-free.

The good thing about buying a Quicken Product is that you can expect first class customer support from Intuit (developers of Quicken), a company that has been in the accounting software business since 1983.

If you need help with your Quicken property management software, you will find it within easy reach - You can read their extensive FAQ, discuss your problem with other users in the Quicken Community forums or contact the Quicken support team directly by email, live chat or phone.

To test the speed and quality of the Quicken support team, we sent them a total of 4 emails with different questions and requests. 3 of the emails were answered within the same day while they replied to the last email the next day. Their replies were short, but they gave good advice that solved our problems. Overall we were very pleased with their support.

What We Don't Really Like about Quicken Rental Property Manager

While this program offers more than enough for the average landlord or part-time property manager, it does lack some of the advanced features that a power user or someone with more than 10 rental units will appreciate.

For example you cannot upload pictures and documents such as tenant photos or bill receipts. This limits the depth of details for your tenant and property records. While this isn't a big deal for most people, someone who is dealing with a large pool of tenants and rental properties will need it to avoid any confusion.

If you have a property management business or your rental properties are being managed by a team of people, Quicken property management software may fall short of your expectations because it doesn't allow you to share your program access with others.

However if you own more 10 rental properties or you are looking for a rental property software with more powerful features and detailed accounting, then you should consider the more robust Buildium Online Property Management instead.

Our Conclusion and Recommendation for Quicken Property Manager

Quicken Rental Property ManagerAt the end of our gruelling two week review, we find that Quicken is well designed and offers great value for money especially if you want a software that handles all your personal finances as well.

This rental property software is also remarkably simple to use. In fact it is the easiest program that we have ever reviewed. If you are using a property management software for the first time, this program allows you get right down to business without wasting time on user manuals.

To sum everything up, Quicken Property Management Software 2010 is targeted at the average rental property owner and it does an excellent job of making property management easier and quicker for them.
