    Hello everyone,

    I am a residential property investor for quit a few years. I have been managing my properties by myself including my tax return preparation. Normally I use spreadsheet Excel helping me to work out the figures. I wondering are there any good  online property management software available to use. I know some windows based software like POSH are available. 

    If anybody can drop a site link or give me some ideas why no this kind of site is available, it will be highly appreciated. I searched on the internet but I didn't find any reasonablely good one.  

    Best Regards,

    Peter

    Not sure totally what you mean? But with gmail email accounts you get access for free to google docs for editing spreadsheets online and documents, PDF's etc.

    It's brilliant for spreadsheets and documents and all that sort of thing and very simple to use. I'm doing a lot of my property portfolio numbers and feasibility on there now days.

    It's not specifically designed as a property management software though. It's for managing your documents online and collaborative functionalities.

    Thanks for your reply. What I mean is any online software (I don't have to install it on my own computer) I can use to generate a rent payment schedule based on the rental contract and using that schedule to record the rent payment and track the payment history. I also can use that software to load my rental property related expenses and get my tax position for the property based on the rental income and property expenses(how much profit or loss in the financial year).

    I agree, spreadsheet can do a lot of things to help manage the numbers about the properties. Even doing some feasibility study and cash flow forecast but it can't use the history data to analysis. I hope I do make some sense now what I am looking for.

    Cheers,
    Peter

    I am not aware of any freeware style of property management software. There are issues with using public domain software of the nature that you want eg: all of you financial transactions are not stored on your computer and might be accessed by others (this should be considered as part of your risk management strategy).

    What objections do you have against installing the software on your computer (most PM software packages are quite small or can be installed on a portable hard disk costing less than $200).

    Personally, I would consider the Rentmaster system (http://www.rentmaster.co.nz) – it has a 60 day free trial so you can run as many simulations and real property scenarios on it for 2 months before you purchase it. You can also subsribe to get quarterly updates if you wish to however the system is quite robust and the mods which are being added are only minor.
