Multi-property intake for PM firms
Multi-property intake for PM firms
Portfolio growth breaks email workflows
Ontario PM firms often start with one landlord client and a handful of units. Growth to 20–200 units across six landlords exposes email's limits.
Owner A's insurance certificate is in one thread. Owner B's management agreement is in a shared Drive folder. Unit 14's screening file is mixed with Unit 22's because both applicants emailed the same leasing inbox.
Per-landlord-client organization
Hivi-X scopes everything to the landlord client or unit record:
- Landlord onboarding checklists per owner
- Screening checklists per unit/applicant
- Move-in inspections per tenancy
- Notes and voice summaries on the correct file
Reusable templates apply firm standards without mixing client data.
Intake at two levels
Landlord client intake — management agreement, insurance, property handoff
Tenant screening intake — application, income, references, consent per unit
Both use the same Hivi-X workflow: checklist, portal upload, missing-item tracking, PDF export.
Scale without enterprise PMS
Firms at 50–200 units often find enterprise PMS pricing heavy for a document-only pain. Hivi-X at $39–$99 CAD/month complements Buildium, AppFolio, or email — solving intake without replacing operations.
Answers are general operational information only — not legal, tax, regulatory, clinical, privacy, immigration, or professional advice. Requirements vary by matter, client, and regulator.
