Yardi Breeze is the small-portfolio product from Yardi, a vendor better known for enterprise systems. The residential edition covers listings that syndicate to sites including RentCafe.com, online applications, screening and leases, text and email with prospects and residents, and rent collection by debit, credit card, ACH or cash at PayNearMe retailers. Accounting is the strong suit: payables, receivables, general ledger, escrow and trust accounts, budgets and 1099 e-filing. Owners get customizable report packets, pro rata statements and a secure portal, and maintenance requests come in online with photos and can charge tenants automatically for completed work. Pricing starts at $1 per unit per month with a $100 monthly minimum, based on an annual agreement, so 100 units cost about $100 per month. The Premier edition adds a CRM queue, state-based lease documents, invoice approval workflows and customizable owner financials, but its price is not listed on the page.
