Stessa

Stessa is rental property software for individual landlords and investors. The free Essentials tier covers unlimited properties, automatic bank feeds, basic financial reports, maintenance requests and tracking, online rent collection, tenant screening, and vacancy marketing.

Reporting is built for rental owners rather than general small business: an income statement, net cash flow report, schedule of real estate owned, and tenant ledger, alongside real-time dashboards. Transactions arrive through live bank connections into single-entry accounting, and a tax package pulls the year together for a CPA. Tenant screening runs on RentPrep inside the product, leases and other documents can be edited from a template library and sent for signature through DocuSign, and rent collection is automated with reminders and late fees.

Paid plans add to that. Manage is $12 a month billed annually, or $15 monthly, and adds one eSignature a month, a Schedule E report, 60+ legal forms and templates, accelerated rent payments, and priority chat support. Pro is $28 a month billed annually, or $35 monthly, and adds unlimited portfolios, advanced reports and transaction tracking, budgeting and pro-forma analysis, unlimited receipt scanning, seven eSignatures a month, priority screening, and phone support. Cash balances earn up to 2.02% APY on the lower tiers and up to 3.49% APY on Pro.

A marketplace points owners to outside providers for property management, landlord and renters insurance, entity and tax planning, property tax appeals, and financing, and the acquisition tools are powered by Roofstock. The contact page lists an address in Walnut Creek, California.
