You start by triaging the overnight maintenance requests, because something always broke while you slept — a clogged disposal, a leak under a sink, an AC that quit in the heat. You sort the emergencies from the can-waits and start calling vendors, juggling who's available against what each job actually needs. Mid-morning is a move-out inspection: you walk the unit with the camera, document every scuff and stain against the move-in photos, and start scoping the make-ready so the turnover doesn't drag into weeks of vacancy. Then it's the money — it's the sixth of the month and you're still reconciling who paid rent, who's short, who's getting a late notice, because every day a payment sits unposted is a day you can't tell an owner where they stand. Afternoon you're coordinating vendors across three properties, chasing a tenant who hasn't responded about access for a repair, and drafting a lease renewal for a unit expiring next month. An owner emails wanting their quarterly statement, and you're stitching together rent collected, repairs paid, and your management fee into something that balances. The job is a hundred small fires across a dozen units, and the thread that ties it together is knowing, at any moment, what's broken, who's paid, and what you owe each owner.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a property manager's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a property manager — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
