LandlordMax 15 Year Anniversary
It’s hard to believe it’s already been 15 years since I incorporated LandlordMax this month! About a year more if you add the time before the company was founded, that is when the first pieces of the code were written. All in all it’s been quite a ride.
We’ve posted a pretty in-depth history of LandlordMax on our company blog including screenshots of the earlier webpages all the way to the software itself, including the very first version! It’s interesting to look back and see just how much the software has evolved over the years. The thing to remember is that the computer landscape was very different back then, the iPhone was about half a decade from being released (Android as well). Google was a new company barely 5 years old. Most computers back then had about 5% of the RAM as they do today, and they were also much slower. HDTV (High Definition TV) was something only a small number of people were aware even existed. And in fact Blu-Ray had just come out and a new player cost about $3500-$4000. Things have definitely changed since then.
In fact we launched LandlordMax just a couple of years after the end of the dot com crash. We also survived AND thrived through the financial crisis and real estate market crash of the late 2000’s. We’ve been around around for a while!
And with that we celebrate our 15 year anniversary. I recommend looking at our company blog post LandordMax 15 Year Anniversary to really get a sense of how much the software has changed and evolved over the years.
Here’s to many more years!

LandlordMax Cloud Edition Released
The LandlordMax Cloud Edition is now publicly available! Although we pre-released it a few months ago to existing customers I’m happy and proud to say it’s now publicly available to everyone! You can access the new Cloud Edition at: https://app.LandlordMax.com You’ll find the Cloud Edition also includes some new features that are exclusive to the Cloud Edition including but not limited to:
- Online and web based
- Ability to edit entries in the tables directly
- Searching and filtering on ALL columns in the tables
- Ability to create custom reports
- Many new reports including the completely redesigned Profit & Loss reports
- Very significant performance improvements
- Built-in word processor
- Completely redesigned Automations which can run custom reports
- Multi-user and computer support at no additional costs
- And so on…
You can click here to read the full release notes which includes most of the new exclusive features of the Cloud Edition. The release notes include screenshots and instructions on how the new features work and how to use them, basically everything you need to start using the Cloud Edition.
If you’re already a LandlordMax user and haven’t yet tried the Cloud Edition then please note the free 30 day trial also applies to existing users of the previous Editions of LandlordMax. You can transfer your existing database to the Cloud Edition.
Before I continue I just want to take a moment to say we sent out a lot of emails to notify our existing customers but please note that if your email is no longer current then you would not have received your invitation email. It’s also possible we haven’t yet sent out your pre-release invitation as we were sending them out in phases. Our goal was to send out invitations to at least half of our customers before we released it publicly to give people a chance to transition, the rest of the invitations should be coming in the following months. In any case you can start right away, you don’t need an invitation any more to start using the new LandlordMax Cloud Edition.
With that I’m proud to say we were able to include almost every single feature we wanted to that I listed in my post on this blog here from two years ago which is amazing. Even better we included some features and functionality I said we would not be able to include in the initial release of the Cloud Edition! Specifically we included filters and searching on all tables, customization of printouts, built in word processor, custom reporting, and the ability to edit entries directly in the tables. We also significantly improved the reports, and some got complete overhauls such as the Profit & Loss and Tenant Statement reports. And very importantly we completely redesigned the Automations which now allow you to run any landlord or tenant report in batches, even custom reports you create!
The Cloud Edition is a major new version, I should say Edition, and it includes a lot of new exclusive features. Again I definitely recommend looking at the Release Notes. I initially planned on going through many of the bigger points but I quickly released it got too long and instead decided to refer you the Cloud Edition release notes. As you can well imagine we’re very excited about this release!
If you have any questions please contact our support team. We’d also love to hear your feedback on the new Cloud Edition, so please feel free to send us feedback and comments you may have as well.
And with that I invite you all to the new LandlordMax Cloud Edition!
