MRI Software is a long-established real estate technology company whose platform, MRI Living, spans multifamily, affordable housing, condo, and HOA management. Rather than a single self-contained product, MRI Living is one module in a much larger real estate operations suite, positioned for management companies and portfolio owners who need one system to run many kinds of properties at once.
Who MRI is built for
MRI’s condo/HOA offering covers the operational core of running an association: assessment billing and delinquency management, association accounting with general ledgers and budgeting, online and mobile dues payment, board and resident communication, vote administration, and association document storage. What sets it apart is the depth behind that feature list — MRI’s roots are in commercial and multifamily real estate accounting, and that shows up as strong support for multi-entity portfolio structures, detailed general ledger imports, and reporting built for management companies overseeing many associations at once.
That makes MRI a natural fit for a management company running dozens or hundreds of communities on one back office.
Pricing: how each one charges
MRI doesn’t publish pricing for its condo/HOA product; every deployment starts with a custom quote based on the modules, unit count, and portfolio size involved, and MRI’s own sales team is the source for current numbers.

Where the two overlap
Both platforms handle the financial and administrative backbone of running an association:
- Assessment billing and dues collection
- Online payment processing for residents
- Document storage and board/resident communication
- General ledger accounting and budgeting
Boards researching what to look for in HOA software will find both platforms take accounting and communication seriously — the difference is in who each one was designed to serve.
Where they differ
MRI’s advantage is scale: it’s built to run alongside commercial and multifamily portfolios in one system, with accounting depth and multi-entity reporting that a management company juggling many associations will appreciate.
BoostHOA is built for the self-managed board or small management team running one or a handful of communities. It focuses on the dues, documents, requests, and payments a typical HOA board handles day to day.
The honest takeaway
If you’re a management company running a large, diverse portfolio and need one platform with deep accounting and multi-entity reporting, MRI’s enterprise depth is worth evaluating on its own terms. If you’re a self-managed HOA or condo board that wants software sized for a single community, get started with BoostHOA and see how it fits your community.
