Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use property management software payments or separate processing?
PM software payments (AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager) are convenient and integrated but may charge higher fees. For larger portfolios, dedicated ACH services often save money. Compare total costs including integration time.
ACH or credit cards for rent collection?
ACH costs much less (flat fee vs percentage). Most property managers push ACH for rent, allow cards for tenant convenience at higher fee. Some pass card fees to tenants where legal. ACH is standard for larger amounts.
