Software for real estate industry

[Gary Layng]

Those packages I listed were indeed property management software.  If you're 
dealing with a lot of properties and an active property management scenario, 
you probably want something like MRI or Newstar.  Medium to smaller sized, 
then Yardi or Spectra will do nicely.  If you're dealing with a small handful 
of condo units that you're renting out, with everything largely managed by 
the condo corporation and you just collecting rents and doing occasional 
small in-suite repairs, then there's a Real Estate version of Quickbooks that 
will do.
