What's On Your Property Management Software Wish List?

I read this blog post today by Bill Szczytko:

Property Management System Crisis: Why You Probably Want to Switch ...

Bill has a great way of calling out issues and generating discussion about them. I recommend following his blog.

In this post, he brings up the current issues and gaps in the property management software arena. I thought it might be interesting to hear your take on this.

What is on your property management system wish list?
How can property management software providers make it easier for you to learn and operate their systems?
What could they leave out?
How do you feel about data ownership and fees to retrieve your accounting data?
Which software do you use? What are its strengths and weaknesses?

Let's Talk. What do you think about the current state of property management software?

Share here, or pop over to Bill's blog and post a comment. Thanks Bill for initiating the discussion.

I was down at the NARPM convention and I think across the board all of the various companies do a great job. That being said I believe there are a few things they could all add that would be of great help to our industry.

1. I would love to see the companies open up call centers to answer owner and or tenant questions on how to read their statements, reset password or find a specific report. I know we all try to pick software solutions based on our own training, but in truth it is really our owners and tenants that need the intuitive simple interface through their portals. (I can drone on about this if anyone like the idea)

2. Expand to include property inspection that can be directly uploaded into the system from a droid or iPhone. This is an under serviced market place.
