Choose community management software if you manage HOAs, condos, or community associations because property management software is designed for landlord-tenant relationships, not volunteer boards managing community assets. Using the wrong software type forces costly workarounds and creates operational inefficiencies.

Choose community management software if you:

• Manage HOAs, condos, or associations with volunteer boards
• Need board portals and governance tools for volunteer decision-making
• Handle assessment billing vs. rent collection
• Require architectural review workflows for community standards
• Need compliance tools for association regulations and reporting

Problems with using property management software for HOAs:

• Manual workarounds for board communications and approvals
• Inability to handle assessment vs. rent collection properly
• Missing compliance and governance features
• Poor homeowner portal experience designed for tenants

Business impact: Using property management software for HOAs creates 30-50% more manual work due to missing HOA-specific features and required workarounds.

Vantaca was built specifically for HOA needs, providing native functionality for board governance, assessment billing, and community compliance without retrofitting rental management tools.
