Solo Landlords Are Priced Out of Running Their Own Business

AppFolio charges $52/month minimum. Buildium charges $55/month minimum. For a landlord with two doors paying $1,200 each, that's over $300/year on software before collecting a single rent check. Most landlords with 1-4 doors use spreadsheets and text threads — because the "real" tools cost more than they earn.
