REI Hub vs Spreadsheets: Which is Best for Rental Property Accounting Software?
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I know what you’re thinking. Rental property accounting software comparisons?? This is not a regular RentRedi vs (Insert Competitor Here) blog.
However, we’ve been hearing a LOT lately from landlords trying to find accounting software. Not only to manage their expenses, but one built specifically for rental properties to easily and efficiently manage bookkeeping, and well…
We wanted to do a little research & comparison for you!
Normally, our comparison blogs feature RentRedi and other rental software. However, we decided it just wasn’t fair to pit property management software against rental property accounting software.
After all…wouldn’t it be much better if they worked together?? 😉
Instead, we’ve stacked REI Hub’s features against spreadsheets, another popular method of managing accounting for real estate!
