STOA Verdict	Buildium is best for small landlords and property managers who want one place to handle rent, maintenance, and tenant records. The accounting tools and tenant portal are genuinely strong, saving you real time each month. The downside is that pricing starts at $55/month and gets expensive fast as your unit count grows, so it may feel like too much if you only manage a handful of properties.
