Domatia combines property listings, leasing, rent collection, owner statements, and Schedule E expense tracking in one dashboard. It is intended for independent owners, property managers, apartment complexes, HOAs, and commercial landlords. Listing syndication uses a MITS ILS XML feed to send vacant units to Zillow, Apartments.com, and other portals. Lease tools can draft state-aware leases with AI, support e-signature, and store signed documents with an audit trail. Rent collection supports ACH and cards, autopay, and automatic late fees; payments go through Stripe, and Domatia says it takes no platform cut. Expense tracking organizes costs under IRS Schedule E categories and provides QuickBooks-mappable exports; the site describes the service as an organizer, not tax advice. Its read-only REST API can be used with Zapier, Make, or HTTP clients. The Essential plan supports up to 15 units and costs $29 a month, billed annually. Pro costs $69 a month, billed annually, for up to 50 units; Portfolio costs $119 a month, billed annually, for up to 150 units. The site labels the mobile apps brand new and still being debugged.
