Stessa is a free property management platform for landlords: track income/expenses, collect rent online, screen tenants, and manage leases in one dashboard.
Stessa is a property management and real estate investment platform built for landlords, from first-time owners of a single rental to sophisticated investors managing large portfolios. Owned by Roofstock, Stessa combines financial tracking, leasing, and banking tools in one dashboard. Its free Essentials plan provides automatic bank feeds, income/expense tracking, basic financial reports, vacancy marketing, tenant screening, and online rent collection for unlimited properties and portfolios. Paid Manage and Pro plans add maintenance request tracking, eSignatures on 60+ legal lease and landlord forms, a Schedule E tax report, accelerated rent payments, budgeting and pro-forma analysis, and priority support. Stessa also offers landlord banking through partner Thread Bank, with FDIC-insured accounts that pay variable APY (up to 3.24% on the Pro tier) and cash back on debit purchases, and gives users access to Roofstock's investment property marketplace for buying and selling rental homes. The platform is used by more than 350,000 landlords and investors and is available via web dashboard and iOS/Android mobile apps.
