COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we manage multiple separate LLCs without paying extra? ▼
Yes! In AppFolio and Buildium, managing properties under separate LLCs triggers per-bank-account surcharges or requires separate expensive subscriptions. With SuiteCrate Pro LAN, you can create unlimited holding LLCs (e.g., Oakwood Duplex LLC, Main St Plaza LLC), each with its own segregated bank account ledger, operating statement, and tax filings at zero extra cost.
How does Sub-Meter Utility Billing (RUBS) work? ▼
RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System) allows landlords to legally recover master-metered water, sewer, gas, and trash bills from tenants based on formula ratios (such as square footage, bedroom count, or occupant count). When your monthly city utility bill arrives, enter the total into the RUBS module; it automatically calculates each unit's share and appends it to their next rent invoice.
Does it track IRS Schedule E Lines 3–19 and depreciation? ▼
Yes. Every income and expense category in the software is mapped directly to the official IRS Form 1040 Schedule E lines: Line 3 (Rents received), Line 5 (Advertising), Line 9 (Insurance), Line 12 (Mortgage interest), Line 14 (Repairs), Line 16 (Taxes), and Line 18 (Depreciation). At tax time, generate a 1-click CPA-ready Schedule E report per property LLC.
How does it handle tenant security deposits and move-out deductions? ▼
Security deposits are recorded in dedicated escrow ledgers separate from operating cash. At move-out, you can itemize repairs, cleaning, and unpaid utilities, attach smartphone inspection photos, and print a formal Statutory Security Deposit Disposition Statement and net refund check within state-mandated 14–30 day deadlines.
Can it manage self-storage units and equipment rental fleets? ▼
Absolutely. The visual availability map supports any rentable asset class: apartment units, commercial retail spaces, self-storage roll-up doors (10x10, 10x20), mobile home park pads, boat/RV slips, or construction equipment rental fleets with custom rental period terms (daily, monthly, annual).
Can we import our existing rent rolls from AppFolio or Excel? ▼
Yes. You can import your tenants, unit numbers, lease start/end dates, monthly rent rates, and deposit escrow balances directly via our CSV import template. We also offer a $199 Done-For-You Migration Service where our team cleans and migrates your full database for you.
Does the system work if our internet goes offline? ▼
Yes! Because SuiteCrate runs locally on your office network (LAN), your rent roll, lease records, work orders, and payment histories remain 100% accessible even during an internet blackout. You can continue collecting checks, printing receipts, and reviewing unit availability uninterrupted.
What does 100% Private Self-Hosted Code & Open Database Ownership mean? ▼
It means you own full, uncompiled, production-ready code with complete ownership of your database (MySQL/SQLite). You never pay recurring software rent, your private tenant phone numbers and financial books are never harvested by third-party clouds, and you have lifetime rights to run the software on your office network forever.
