Your property software is charging you rent.
Per-door pricing, unit minimums that bill you for doors you don't manage, a fee on every bank transfer. We build custom property management software for landlords and managers — tenant portal, online rent collection, maintenance requests, owner statements — that you own outright. The meter comes off the door.
One system. Two front doors.
You manage 150 doors. You're billed for 400.
Per-unit pricing comes with minimums: AppFolio's floor bills a 150-door portfolio as if it were 200 (quote-only rates, ~$400–$5,000 onboarding on top). Yardi Breeze Premier's $400 floor bills it like 400 doors. Grow to 300 real doors and the bill jumps 50% overnight — forever.
Then the small print: Buildium charges $99 to add a bank account, $2.35 per incoming transfer, $5 per e-signature on its entry tier — and "free" landlord tools bill your tenants instead: $55 applications, 3.49% card fees. A custom build hosts 300 doors for the same flat ~$25–$100 a month as 150, and charges nobody, ever.

Questions owners actually ask.
§1 — What does custom property management software cost?
Single-portfolio builds typically land $9,000–$25,000, fixed — the dev shops ranking for this query publish $15,000–$300,000 ranges and month-long discovery phases. Compare five years of per-door SaaS at $18,000–$24,000 for 150 doors, and the build pays for itself inside the first contract.
§2 — We're on AppFolio or Buildium. Can we actually leave?
Yes — tenants, leases, ledgers, and vendor history export and migrate free, the old system runs in parallel until the balances match, and tenants get one clean invite to the new portal. Leaving is exactly what per-door platforms bet you won't do.
§3 — We only have a dozen doors. Is custom overkill?
Probably, honestly — at 12 self-managed doors, RentRedi at $12 a month is fine (just know the "free" tools bill your tenants: $55 applications, 3.49% card fees). The math flips around 40–50 doors, multiple owners, or the day a platform's minimum bills you for units you don't have.
§4 — How does rent actually get collected?
Tenants pay by bank transfer at $0 per transaction — the money lands in your account, not a platform wallet. Cards are optional with the processor's fee shown up front, late fees follow your rules automatically, and every payment posts to the ledger and QuickBooks by itself.
§5 — What happens when a tenant reports a leak at 11pm?
They photograph it in the portal, it becomes a work order, your vendor gets a thread with the photo and access notes, and the owner sees the cost before approval if that's your rule. Nobody's phone number ends up on a fridge magnet.
§6 — Who owns the system — and the tenant data?
You do: code in your repo, database in your account, portals on your domain with your name on them. Any developer can maintain it after us, and 30 days of post-launch fixes are in the contract. No per-door platform can offer that — it's the whole point.
