From spreadsheets to streamlined: 48 units managed in half the time

Clearview Properties was drowning in spreadsheets and email threads. After switching to Trurentra, Sarah cut her admin time by 60% and eliminated the communication gaps that were causing maintenance delays.

Annual savings

I used to spend my Sundays catching up on emails and updating spreadsheets. Now I handle everything from one dashboard during business hours. Trurentra gave me my weekends back.

Property Owner (3 states) · Rodriguez Real Estate Holdings

Multi-state portfolio visibility without the Buildium price tag

James owned properties in three states and was paying $180/month for Buildium just to get basic reporting. Trurentra gave him real-time financial visibility and direct messaging with his property manager — for a fraction of the cost.

Owner portal satisfaction

I was paying Buildium $180 a month and still calling my property manager every week for updates. With Trurentra, I open the owner portal and see everything — financials, maintenance, leases — across all three states. And I'm paying half.

Property Manager · Maple Street Management

Outgrew the free tools — found a real platform that's still affordable

David started with TurboTenant's free plan but quickly hit its limits as his portfolio grew. He needed maintenance tracking, financial reporting, and owner communication — without the enterprise price tag of Buildium or AppFolio.

Tenant adoption

TurboTenant was fine when I had 3 units. But once I hit 8, I needed real maintenance tracking and financial reports. AppFolio wouldn't even talk to me — 50 unit minimum. Trurentra gave me everything I needed, and the free tier covered my first 5 properties.

Before Trurentra

  • TurboTenant lacked maintenance tracking and financial reports
  • AppFolio required 50-unit minimum — not an option
  • Buildium too expensive for an 8-unit portfolio

After Trurentra

  • Started on Trurentra free tier (5 units), upgraded Pro for remaining 3
  • Full maintenance tracking with tenant-submitted requests
  • Monthly financial reports auto-generated for owner
  • All 8 tenants onboarded to the portal in one day
  • Total cost: $72/mo for 3 paid units (5 free + 3 × $24 annual)
