Property management software for single-family portfolios
Forty homes means forty roofs, forty water heaters, and forty owners who each care about exactly one address. The hard part is not the doors. It is that rent from every house lands in one pile, and every owner question means untangling that pile by hand.
Scattered houses, scattered money
A single-family portfolio has no lobby and no shared meter. Every property is its own small business with its own owner, its own lease, its own repairs, and its own results. Most software still treats the portfolio as one bucket of income and one bucket of expense, so the per-house story you owe each owner lives in exported spreadsheets and memory. When an owner asks why March was light, you rebuild the answer from bank statements.
A ledger for every address
AXYS records every dollar against the property and lease that produced it, on a real double-entry ledger. Rent in, fee out, repair paid, owner paid: each is an entry on that house’s own record, not a line in a shared pool. Ask what one address earned this year and the answer is already on its ledger, not a reconstruction project. See accounting and the tenant ledger.
Reserves that stay with the house
A furnace fund for one house should never blur into the vacancy cushion for another. AXYS holds reserves as a sub-ledger per property: every contribution and draw is a numbered movement on that property’s own record, so you can show any owner exactly how their reserve reached its balance. See operating reserve.
Owners paid from each payment, not a month-end run
Most tools accumulate rent all month and pay owners in one batch someone has to trigger. AXYS splits each rent payment the moment it arrives: the management fee is applied, the reserve is funded, and the owner distribution goes out from that payment. See automated distributions and why the batch run became the industry default in Why the batch run exists at all.
- Each house’s rent pays that house’s owner. Money never waits in a pooled balance for a monthly run.
- The fee can differ per lease, property, or owner, so one difficult house can carry a different rate than the rest.
- Every payout is recorded against the property and the rent payment that produced it.
What each owner sees
Owners get a portal scoped to their own properties: payments received, distributions sent, reserve activity, and a monthly owner statement built from the same ledger you run the business on. Because the statement and the books are one system, the numbers agree by construction. See Owner statements that reconcile.
Tax season by address
Schedule E wants income and expenses per property, which is exactly how a per-property ledger already stores them. AXYS categorizes expenses into Schedule E lines as they happen, so year-end is an export, not a sorting exercise. See the Tax Center.
Does AXYS work for small single-family portfolios?
Yes. The per-property model does not depend on size. Whether you manage ten homes or three hundred, each property keeps its own ledger, its own reserve, and its own owner reporting.
Can every house have a different owner?
Yes. Ownership is recorded per property, and each rent payment routes its distribution to that property’s owner or owners. A house with two owners splits by their recorded percentages.
How do owners see what their house is doing?
Each owner has a portal showing only their properties: rent received, distributions paid, reserve balances, and monthly statements generated from the same ledger the manager uses.
