"Austin review investment manager"
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

What I like most about AppFolio Investment Manager is its exceptional customer support—dedicated reps who respond quickly with real solutions, making it feel like a true partner rather than just software. The intuitive investor portal stands out too, giving our investors seamless, mobile access to performance data, tax forms, and documents, which has boosted their satisfaction and loyalty. Finally, the automation for waterfalls, distributions, and reporting has slashed our manual work, letting the team focus on growth instead of grunt tasks. Overall, it's a game-changer for efficiency at a fraction of the cost of competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

What I dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager is its limited customization options for reporting, which can feel restrictive when tailoring data for specific investor needs. The onboarding process can be clunky, with occasional delays in syncing data or setting up complex deal structures. Additionally, the platform’s pricing, while competitive, can still sting for smaller firms with tighter budgets. Some advanced features, like deeper CRM integrations, feel underdeveloped compared to the core functionality. Overall, these gaps can frustrate users looking for more flexibility or seamless scaling.

"AppFolio is an excellent Investment Management Program"
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I appreciate many aspects of the AppFolio Investment Manager. I appreciate how each investment and its investors can be categorized and separated for emails, reporting, and communication. I like the fundraising feature that allows us to create and share an investment with others to gauge their interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I wish there was a way to personalize an email when requesting signatures. It just sends a generic reminder and link that cannot be edited. I also wish there was a way to take an asset from the

fundraising" section with committed investors and assign signatures without all the added steps of asking for accreditation and forcing all the steps to be complete before the asset can appear in the Investment category. Because of this, we use the fundraising feature, but then I manually enter all committed investors in the "Investment" side (that I manually create for the asset) so that I can directly manage what they complete and there is not a concern if they don't get all of their forms completed immediately. .

"Secure Platform for Investor Management"
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

AppFolio Investment Manager has streamlined our investor communications and capital tracking across multiple assets. The portal is professional and easy for investors to navigate, and it makes distributions and document sharing much more efficient. Their customer support is awesome and a huge part of why I like the product so much. Their team is knowledgeable and responsive, and new feature rollouts are typically thoughtful and relevant to our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

We’d also like to see more customization in reporting, Alpha charts, and communication tools without requiring a workaround. That said, the team is receptive to feedback and regularly improves the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game Changer"
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

We’ve been using AppFolio for over a year now, and it has completely transformed the way we manage our investments.

The user interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for both our team and investors to navigate. Investors love the convenience of having all their information in one place. Our team especially appreciates the time-saving automation features — recurring tasks, OCR capabilities, and the ability to communicate with investors in real time.

What really sets AppFolio apart is their customer support and ongoing development. Their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and always working to improve the platform based on real user feedback. Regular updates continue to enhance the software’s functionality, keeping us ahead of the curve.

If you're looking for a reliable, scalable solution to modernize and simplify your investor relations operations, I highly recommend AppFolio. It’s been a true asset to our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

There was a little bit of a learning curve upfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"created efficiency in my business"
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

over the years they have been ahead of the curve in addressing business needs, every time I want to do something it seems like they have already implemented a solution for that. Customer support has been really excellent and in the last 6 months I have discovered become a devoted user of their AI help which answers a significant number of my questions without me ever having to talk with a person. as a result I ask a lot more questions and have pretty much immediate solutions greatly enhancing my depth of use of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

i'm really not thinking of anything, i've become a much better user of it which has made my business more and more efficient. I can't think of anything it doesn't do that i'd like for it to do and when I find something usually they already have or are working on a solution and can solve it.

"Tool to organize investments and documents"
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

Some of our investors are invested in many real estate syndications and this helps them to see their investments in a summary form and detail form. We no longer get emails asking which entity sent them a distribution, they can see all of this on the portal. It has helped us as a company present a professional product and saving us time answering questions from the investors. It does take some time to get everything loaded and it is a process to transition but worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

The integration with AppFolio PM isn't quite right. Some of our investments are run on cash basis accounting and others on accrual basis. AppFolio IM won't let you run investor reports on different accounting basis. There are some integrations that need to be refined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
