A copy of the actual contract may be kept in this software for reference.

When you send one, you can specify the access level (READ or READ/WRITE) to all entities (Companies/Properties/Units) on the Team.

Emails are currently used to communicate with all parties. Once a Task has been completed, it should be marked as such. If the time and date has passed and the Task is not marked as complete or deleted, reminders are sent out to all email recipients.

Hierarchy

Single User Case (Initial login)

Mermaid Diagram 0
This represents the simplest case when a User first creates an account and logs into PropMan. The system automatically creates a basic hierarchy with one login User connected to a Team, one Owner within that Team, one Company owned by that Owner, one Property under the Company, and one Unit within the Property. This is the starting point for individual property managers who want to manage a single rental property.

Single User Case (multiple Owners for a single Company)

Mermaid Diagram 1
This scenario shows a partnership or joint venture where a single User manages a Team with multiple Owners. Both Owners have stakes in the same Company, and the Company owns one Property with one Unit. This is common for business partnerships where multiple people co-own a property investment Company but one Person handles the day-to-day management.

Single User Case (multiple Owners for multiple Companies, Properties, and Units)

Mermaid Diagram 2
This represents a more complex property management scenario with multiple Owners sharing a Company, multiple Properties under the same Company, mixed Property types (single house and apartment building), and multiple Units across different Properties. This is typical for real estate investment Companies that own diverse Property portfolios, including both single-family homes and multi-Unit buildings.

Multiple User Case (Multiple login Users, multiple Owners for multiple Companies, Properties, and Units)

Mermaid Diagram 3
This shows a professional property management office setup where multiple Users can log in and work on the same Team, multiple Owners are managed by the Team, and the Team handles diverse Property portfolios. This is ideal for property management Companies where multiple employees need access to manage Properties owned by different clients or partners.

User belonging to multiple Teams Case (Multiple login Users, multiple Owners for multiple Companies, Properties, and Units)

Mermaid Diagram 4
This is a case where a consultant may have access to multiple Teams This represents the most complex scenario where a single User belongs to multiple Teams. Each Team manages different sets of Owners and Properties, and the User can switch between Teams to manage different client portfolios. This is perfect for consultants or property management professionals who work with multiple, separate client Teams or property management Companies, each requiring isolated access to their respective Properties and financial data.
