Answers before you get started.

A property is a home or building you configure. One whole home rented under one rental arrangement counts as one rental. Rooms rented separately count individually. For example, five properties rented as five whole homes use five properties and five rentals. Five properties with ten separately rented rooms use five properties and ten rentals. Choose either the entire home or a room count for each property; do not count both for the same property.

Enter the number of properties, then give each property a recognizable name and choose entire home or the number of separately rented rooms. Setup carries these choices forward and asks for property details, rental records and occupancy. Occupied rentals ask for resident and lease information; vacant rentals ask for asking rent and availability. Independent rental owners do not need an HOA or community.

Both capacity and features matter. Customization selects a plan with sufficient property and rental allowances while retaining your chosen feature level, and displays the revised plan and total. Review the change before creating your account and confirming checkout. Selecting a larger quantity does not itself take payment. Requests beyond supported allowances need review rather than an undisclosed charge.

Enter the number of communities and the total homes across those communities. These counts describe community operations, not the number of rooms rented by individual owners. Community and Enterprise account paths have their own applicable allowances and setup requirements.
