### "Alex’s Review" — 5.0/5

> **Alex** | *1 May 2019* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall, I like all the applications that come with the software. We are able to provide all the necessary numbers to our investors and even take it a step further by showing our properties with images. The portal has a lot features that make it easy for them to receive secure documents via upload or through email. Before we got this software we used to track everything in excel and send statements in PDF. Now we have professional statements that are easy to read and look great\! The support team is extremely helpful and answer questions fast. Our investors are often impressed. I would highly recommend this software\!
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing I would say that I don’t like is certain placement of save buttons and drop downs in the back end. I don’t have too many negatives.
