How Stessa Works

Adding Properties In Stessa * Select the number of properties you wish to manage using Stessa. * Enter your property address and Stessa pulls in all relevant property details from Zillow. * If any of the details are incorrect you can modify it.

Stessa Review: Pros * All financial transactions categorized neatly. * Real estate-related income and expense categories are built directly into the transactions ledger, as is quick reporting to help you (or your CPA) prepare Schedule E and Form 8825 tax forms.  * iOS app to capture and scan property-related invoices and paper receipts.

Stessa Review: Cons

* Based on the amortization schedule of your mortgage payment; the amount applied to Principal and Interest changes each month. Stessa currently does not automatically split the monthly mortgage payment between principal, interest, escrow.

* Stessa does not have tools yet to manage tenants. It would be great if it could also be used for tenant screening, rent collection along with sending automated reminders. At present, it integrates with AppFolio for these activities.
