About Stessa

Stessa (by Roofstock) is the #1 free app for rental property investors, covering the entire investment lifecycle from acquisition to exit. It replaces spreadsheets with automated bookkeeping, real-time financial dashboards, rent collection, tenant screening, maintenance tracking, eSigning, and landlord banking. Stessa's free Essentials plan includes unlimited properties and automatic bank feeds, while paid plans ($12-$35/month) add features like maintenance management, Schedule E reports, budgeting, and a 3.24% APY banking account. Investors report saving $4,000 and 100+ hours annually.
