Overview: Freshbooks vs Landlord Studio

Having an effective and efficient income and expense tracking tool for your rentals comes with some serious advantages and ultimately will result in you maximizing your tax deductions and saving you hours of admin time.

Freshbooks is accounting software which allows you to set up clients and invoice and bill them. The system itself is pretty straight forward and has several useful features such as time management and a helpful dashboard.

There are a few key issues that would eventually cause issues and endless frustration for a landlord. The time-saving software you are paying for could end up doing just the opposite. On a more integral level, it is missing a few features that landlords have come to expect from a property management solution. This lack could inhibit your ability to scale and result in you needing to switch over to a new system at a later date – a completely unnecessary and immensely tedious task.
