This logic is flawed in the sense of completely misunderstanding of "progress". Sure, the 900sqft home argument might be somewhat valid. But in the majority of the situations I've …

We use php b/c of previous experience, availability to scripts, compatibility with existing technology, and we like its licensing.

server was getting hit HARD there for a bit.

Well, if that's the case, this probably isn't for you.

Couldn't agree more, I appreciate the input on things! I am a very harsh critic myself ;)

What happens if your support is bad? Turnover increases and finding new tenant is not cheap. There is always a flip-side.

Now, what if they were automatically reflected on the tenants account balance and all notifications were handled, etc. Also, if they didn't pay on time, they'd get an automated rem…

yours truly ;)

It's undoubtedly a legitimate fear. But compare this to a company like ATT for example who has way more clients than most any property mgt company. Do you think they would prefer t…

We use the Symfony framework and jQuery.

ouch, I knew about this, forgot to put in a fix... thanks for reminding me!

bingo, you nailed it. At least that's how we see it ;)

You make a good point on the work orders. You have full control over deleting, closing out, changing the priority, etc of them. Think of work orders as a support request for an onl…

We're targeting both, landlords are smaller, and property management companies are larger. Their needs a very similar though. To get our base established, we are mostly targeting s…

We'll review this, thanks for the input!

Well, we have hundreds of beta accounts currently. I'd say that is something. Also, the interest has been quite high, not to mention, we aren't pioneering anything in this space, t…

yep, and there are others too, even web based ones. This isn't anything new, we just think our service is and will be better.

This is also how your units end up with leaking sinks and tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs. It depends on how you want to run your business. Many companies WANT work or…

thanks for that. We do realize for deeper market penetration we will likely need an active sales team. We are happy with healthy online, technical user, adoption at the moment thou…
