    Chose MIP Fund Accounting
    The HRA used RealPage (I'm not sure if it is actually the one listed above), and it did not work well. I'm not sure if it wasn't set up well, designed for larger property management companies, or just not good software, but it did not suit our needs at all. We chose a different …

    Chose MIP Fund Accounting
    Our company chose Abile MIP because a former employee (that was held in high esteem) recommended it. Since then, we have felt stuck with it due to the cost of switching over to another platform. I personally feel, as do many of my colleagues, that another platform would be …

    Chose MIP Fund Accounting
    Despite it's higher cost, MIP offers the most flexibility with reporting than other programs which while less expensive, were more cumbersome to use and reporting set up was more labor intensive.
