## About

Yardi Breeze is the small-to-mid-market property management platform from Yardi Systems, a privately-held real estate software company headquartered in Santa Barbara, California. Founded in 1984 by Anant Yardi, Yardi Systems has become one of the largest real estate software companies globally, with a suite that ranges from Yardi Breeze (SMB) to Yardi Voyager (enterprise). Yardi Breeze launched in 2018 as a simpler, more affordable entry point into the Yardi ecosystem.

## Funding

Private (family-owned, no VC/PE)

## Viability

Extremely stable. 40+ year history, $500M+ estimated annual revenue, and majority family ownership insulate Yardi from PE exit pressure. One of the safest vendor choices in property management.

## Pricing

Yardi Breeze charges $1/unit/month for residential with a $100/month minimum. Commercial properties are $2/unit/month. Breeze Premier (with additional accounting features) adds ~$2/unit/month more. A 200-unit portfolio pays $200-$400/month depending on tier.

| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Breeze (Residential) | $1/unit/mo, min $100/mo | Residential portfolios up to 500 units |
| Breeze (Commercial) | $2/unit/mo | Commercial or mixed-use properties |
| Breeze Premier | $3/unit/mo, min $400/mo | Advanced accounting and reporting |

### Can I upgrade from Yardi Breeze to Yardi Voyager later?

Yes. Yardi Breeze is designed as an entry point into the Yardi ecosystem. Migration to Voyager is possible and Yardi supports it, though it's a significant migration project.

### Does Yardi Breeze work for commercial properties?

Yes, at $2/unit/month. Breeze Premier has stronger commercial accounting (CAM, triple-net). For complex institutional commercial portfolios, Yardi Voyager is the better fit.
