Buildium can export the data NestBord needs from its reports. The Rent Roll report is the single best starting point — one row per unit with tenant and lease details.
1. Export from Buildium
- Open Reports in Buildium and run the Rent Roll (all properties, current date).
- Export it as CSV or Excel. Excel files should be opened in Google Sheets or Excel and downloaded as CSV.
- Clean the sheet: remove title lines, per-property subtotal rows, and totals so you're left with one header row and one row per unit.
Tenant emails and phone numbers may live in a separate tenant/rental-owner export — paste them in as extra columns if you want tenant accounts created during the import.
2. Import into NestBord
- Settings → Import Data, then upload the CSV or paste the sheet.
- Confirm the mapping (Buildium's "Unit", "Tenant", "Rent", "Lease start/end" headers are recognized automatically).
- Review the preview — new vs existing properties, totals, skipped rows — and import.
- From the summary, send portal invites to the tenants you're ready to onboard.
What to keep in Buildium
Transaction history, files, and closed work orders don't migrate — export anything you need for your records before closing the account. NestBord starts you with current properties, units, tenants, and active leases; rent collection and reminders are live immediately.
