AppFolio - Electronic Cash Payments: No More Cash Or Money Orders

Did you know that 24% of U.S. families don’t have a credit card or debit card—they use cash or money orders to pay rent each month. AppFolio’s Electronic Cash Payments offer an alternative to the risky business of accepting cash or money orders in your property management office. Renters who pay in cash or money order from a 7-Eleven or ACE Cash Express can avoid going to your office during business hours or worrying about dropping a money order in the after hours drop box. This service is completely built into AppFolio Property Manager, allowing your staff to avoid manual data entry and eliminating the risk of money order theft.

RUBS

Ratio Utility Billing

Ratio Utility Billing (RUBS) allows you to recover utility costs rather than simply absorbing them as a cost of doing business. The property manager receives additional management fees because there is an increase in revenue on the properties and the owner collects more revenue each month.

No painful integrations, spreadsheets, or manual process

Maximize your revenue (it's free!)

Simplify with convergent billing

Residents use fewer resources when billed back for utilities

Bulk Tenant Charges

Bulk Tenant Charges

AppFolio - Bulk Tenant Charges

When you have multiple units with similar charges each month, such as utility charges, you can create tenant charges in bulk by uploading a pre-formatted spreadsheet with charge details into your AppFolio Property Manager database. Simply download the template to your computer and fill our charge amounts per unit, or send the spreadsheet to your utility company to fill out with charge amounts on your behalf.

Once the spreadsheet is completed it can be uploaded directly to AppFolio. All of the charges entered on the spreadsheet will be automatically created as Tenant Charges in your database, saving you time spent on manually entering multiple Tenant Charges.

CAM Tracking

Common Area Maintenance (CAM) Tracking & Reconciliation

AppFolio - Common Area Maintenance (CAM) Tracking & Reconciliation

You no longer need to wait to reconcile CAM once a year due to the time it takes to compile bills and calculate the amount tenants are responsible for based on their lease terms. AppFolio’s CAM functionality allows you to easily track, bill, and reconcile the shared common area expenses and income for your commercial properties whenever necessary based upon your business practices and agreements with commercial tenants.

Holding Deposits

Simplify the Management of Holding and Security Deposits

AppFolio - Simplify the Management of Holding and Security Deposits

AppFolio gives you the ability to set a key account for holding deposits. Easily manage multiple applicants to fill vacancies for future tenancy and move the deposit from a holding account to security deposit account. The holding deposit will reside in escrow until the unit becomes available. The hold deposit may be refunded in full or in part to applicants who do not end up moving into the unit.

Online Security Deposits

Online Security Deposits at AppFolio

AppFolio customers with online payments enabled may select to also enable online payments of security deposits. This reduces the hassle of managing security deposit payments and helps encourage tenants to set up online rent payments.

AP Approval Process

AP Approvals

AppFolio's Invoice Approval Feature

The AP Approval feature prohibits a bill from being paid until it is approved by an authorized user. This helps streamline your payables process and prevent unapproved or incorrect bills from being paid in error.

AppFolio's Role-Based Security
Role-Based Security

When using AppFolio Property Manager you can define roles that provide different levels of access to your users. Depending on the role, the user has access to view and modify specific items, giving you increased security and control. This allows you to distribute more work to the on-site staff in a controlled and managed environment.

Two-Factor Authentication

AppFolio cares about keeping your sensitive business data protected from phishers, fraudsters, or unwanted users.

When two factor authentication is enabled, an additional step is added to your regular AppFolio login process on any device. Instead of only entering your email and password, you will be required to enter a verification code received via SMS text message to the mobile phone number of your choice. Even if your email and password are acquired by an unauthorized user, they would not be able to log in without the verification code.
