Yes — if you want online rent collection + accounting + owner statements, you’re basically looking for property management software (often better than generic accounting tools).

Good options to consider

1) Buildium

Best for: small to mid-sized property managers and landlords
Why it’s good:

  • Online rent collection
  • Automated owner statements
  • Full accounting built in
  • Tenant/owner portals
  • Maintenance tracking
  • Strong reporting

Good fit if you manage a portfolio and want an all-in-one system.


2) AppFolio

Best for: growing property management businesses
Why it’s good:

  • Very polished online payments
  • Strong accounting and trust accounting
  • Automated owner distributions/statements
  • Leasing and maintenance tools
  • Great mobile experience

Usually best if you have a larger or growing portfolio, but it can be pricier.


3) DoorLoop

Best for: smaller landlords and property managers who want something modern and simpler
Why it’s good:

  • Online rent payments
  • Owner statements
  • Accounting features included
  • Easy to use
  • Good for residential and mixed portfolios

Often a solid choice if you want less complexity than AppFolio.


4) Propertyware

Best for: single-family rentals and larger portfolios
Why it’s good:

  • Online rent collection
  • Owner accounting
  • Reporting and maintenance tools
  • Good for scaling single-family operations

5) Yardi Breeze

Best for: small to mid-sized portfolios
Why it’s good:

  • Rent collection
  • Accounting
  • Owner statements
  • Easier than full Yardi Voyager
  • Built for property management

If you only need accounting + statements

If you already have another rent collection system and just want accounting, you might also look at:

  • QuickBooks Online + a property management add-on
  • Stessa (good for smaller landlords, but less robust for owner statements)
  • REI Hub (real estate-focused accounting)

But for automatic rent collection and owner statements, dedicated property management software is usually better.

Quick recommendation by size

  • 1–20 units: DoorLoop, Buildium, Stessa + QuickBooks if simple
  • 20–200 units: Buildium, AppFolio, Yardi Breeze
  • 200+ units: AppFolio, Yardi, Propertyware, enterprise tools

What to look for before choosing

Make sure the software supports:

  • ACH and card payments
  • Late fees and autopay
  • Owner statements/distributions
  • Trust accounting / IOLTA-style handling if needed
  • Bank reconciliation
  • Tax reporting (1099s)
  • Tenant and owner portals
  • Maintenance workflows

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a side-by-side comparison chart, or
  2. a recommendation based on your number of units and budget.
