Different job
Stessa is strong at portfolio value tracking and a read-mostly dashboard. Many landlords use it because it is free. The business model around that kind of product is usually lending, insurance, or banking referrals — the landlord is distribution, not the customer.
What Manor Keeper is for
- Categorizing transactions against Schedule E lines, not just watching balances.
- Manual entries, CSV import, or Plaid — you stay in control of the ledger.
- A tax packet you can send to a CPA. That is the paid job.
If you want a free snapshot of property value and cash flow, Stessa may be enough. If you want books you can file from, start a Manor Keeper trial.
