Common questions
Do you have Buildium's full accounting suite?+
No. ClearLord does cash-flow-quality reporting suitable for most independent landlords and their accountants. If you need double-entry GAAP accounting, Buildium is a better fit.
Do you have owner portals and tenant portals?+
Tenant payment pages: no, tenants don't log in. Owner portals: no — ClearLord assumes you are the owner.
Can I import my Buildium data?+
Yes. Export from Buildium and keep it open beside Portfolio Setup — you build each property, unit, and tenant yourself, copying values across. Nothing is imported without you confirming it.
