"Streamlined Investment Tracking with Minor Improvements Needed"
4/5
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I really like how AppFolio Investment Manager makes it easy to share all data with our investors, all through one portal. It's super convenient for our investors to access too. They can see up-to-date performance of properties and get updates on a quarterly basis. The portal allows our investors to log in, access their information, and easily input private details like Social Security numbers and banking routing information. It simplifies passing distributions to our investors as well. Plus, setting it up was very simple, mainly just data entry, which made it straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

We have had some issues with percentages and the way the decimals work there. You guys haven't been able to fix that. But other than that, there hasn't been anything that we don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

A notable downside of AppFolio Investment Manager is that its integrations can feel limited, especially for teams that rely on more advanced or customized external tools. While the platform is strong in core functionality, certain workflows may require manual workarounds due to a lack of flexibility. Additionally, some automation and intelligence features are still developing and may not fully meet expectations for more complex operations. Reporting customization can also be somewhat restrictive depending on the use case. Overall, while the system is reliable, there is room for improvement in adaptability and deeper system connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Platform, But Needs Better Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I love that AppFolio Investment Manager is a one-stop shop for anything investor or investment-related. It's great for communicating investment opportunities and the status of current investments to our investors. I really appreciate its intuitiveness; I can typically find what I need within seconds without needing a tutorial, thanks to the straightforward user interface. It meets our everyday needs without having to deal with complicated workflows or navigate through many clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

Customer Support is not great. When there is an issue it typically takes a long time to resolve and doesn't always get me to a better solution. More timely resolution of issue. I also find that I am not typically speaking with someone that can actually resolve the issue, so it ends up being a longer process because of the need to overcommunicate.

"Great Investor Reporting But double counting contributions"
3.5/5
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I like the ability for investors to go in and see their distributions, contributions, equity amounts, and property performances. it takes a step out of reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I dislike the fact that it allows property contributions to be counted twice (ex if a property is in a fund and listed as an investment within the same group as the fund, its counted twice) this should be blocked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Investment Management with Intuitive Features"
5/5
What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I use AppFolio Investment Manager primarily for reporting and accessing investor distributions. I like how it helps to streamline and access historical investor distributions. The ease of using it and the interface stand out to me. The investor email blasts work pretty well, and I like them. The deal pipeline is helpful for keeping track of potential investments, and I appreciate the streamlined ease of use for fundraising. The contact details feature makes it easier to contact investors, and I like that it shows how many people have read the email. I particularly like the dashboard and the notes section. The dashboard helps me see a bigger snapshot of the company, and the notes section is helpful because it keeps track of conversations with specific people, so I can prepare accordingly in the future. The initial setup was easy, and that's a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

The distributions can be improved by adding a few more filters or columns such as property names along with LLC names. I think a distribution dashboard will be nice, for instance, I should be able to select a property and it shows a graph or something for historical distributions and maybe what was the percentage of distribution was made in comparison to their investment in the deal.

What do you like best about AppFolio Investment Manager?

I like being able to send investor updates and having an investor portal for everyone to access easily. They really help keep things more organized for our investors and make us more transparent about everything we're doing with our portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppFolio Investment Manager?

AppFolio Investment Manager cannot perform our waterfall calculations, which is the biggest downside. It prevents us from using it as a long-term solution because we have to find workarounds to pay out our investors following our proposed waterfall strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
