1. A system for managing multiple, real properties comprising a plurality of multi-unit dwellings, the system comprising:
a central processing unit;
computer programming stored in a computer readable medium;
a graphical user interface having a user-viewable screen associated therewith; and
a library of electronic files operatively associated with a relational database, wherein the electronic files include property data having records corresponding to a plurality of multi-unit dwellings, a plurality of units in the multi-unit dwellings, and residents' names corresponding to respective ones of the units;
wherein the programming includes executable instructions capable of performing the following computer-implemented steps:
receiving user input to launch property management subsystems corresponding to the property management functions for any one of the multiple properties, the property management subsystems comprising: a residential notice subsystem, a certificates subsystem, a licenses subsystem, a contracts subsystem, a move-in/move-out subsystem, a statistics subsystem, and a resident assistance subsystem;
displaying on the screen an electronic menu panel having menu options corresponding to respective ones of the multiple, property management functions associated with the electronic files;
receiving user input corresponding to a selected one of the multiple property management functions;
displaying a series of screens corresponding to the selected property management functions in a programmed order to establish a corresponding workflow for a user;
displaying a first screen of the series, wherein the first screen has at least one user-selectable filter field;
in response to user input associated with the filter field, filtering the property data to associate portions of the property data in the library with the selected property management function; and
restricting display of a second, subsequent screen until input has been received corresponding to user selection of the at least one filter field;
wherein the property data records include a plurality of move-in/move out identifiers, the identifiers including a building identifier, an occupancy status identifier, and a unit identifier;
the move-in/move-out subsystem comprising computer programming with executable instructions capable of performing the following computer-implemented steps:
displaying a move-in/move-out template after user-selection of a selected one of the units;
generating and displaying condition report fields associated with the move-in/move-out template, the condition report fields corresponding to amenities of the selected one of the units, and
receiving user inputs by means of the condition report fields;
associating at least one of the identifiers with the inputs to create a move-in/move-out record;
storing the move-in/move-out record in the relational database;
wherein the step of associating at least one of the identifiers with the inputs received to create a move-in/move-out record comprises the steps of (1) updating the occupancy status identifier to indicate a move-out condition; (2) if the selected one of the units has the status indicator in the move-out condition, enabling user-selection of programming to create a move-out report; (3) associating digital images of the amenities of the selected unit with the move-out report; and (4) updating the property data record of the selected unit to include the move-out report and the associated digital images;
wherein the system includes programming capable of displaying user—input fields in an ordered sequence corresponding to an associated promotional collateral work flow, the ordered sequence of the user-input fields including fields capable of performing the steps of:
a. receiving user inputs from a menu corresponding to selecting one of the plurality of multi-unit dwellings under management of the system and corresponding to selecting one of the units of the selected multi-unit dwelling;
b. receiving promotional user-input corresponding to the promotional collateral, the promotional user-input consisting of a digital video file of the selected one of the units, an opening card data file including displayable indicia for the selected unit, and a closing card data file including displayable contact information indicia for the selected unit, wherein the digital video file, the opening card data file, and the closing card data file together comprise visual tour data of the selected unit; and
c. uploading the visual tour data to update the property data record of the selected unit;
wherein the system further includes programming capable of performing the step of displaying a user-selectable field corresponding to the visual tour data on a display-screen simultaneously with user selectable fields having programming associated therewith for categorizing multiple units of the multi-unit dwellings by work-in-production status;
wherein the programming further includes instructions capable of sorting and displaying the property data records to display, simultaneously, on a single display screen, first and second user-selectable fields corresponding to the digital images of the move-out report and the visual tour data, respectively;
wherein the system further includes programming associated with the promotional collateral work flow capable of performing the step of updating the property data records of the multiple units to associate a collateral status selected from the group of approved and not approved, wherein such collateral status is selectively associable with, respectively, the digital video file and the digital images of the amenities of respective ones of the multiple units;
wherein the step of categorizing the multiple units of the multi-unit dwellings by work-in-production status comprises assigning, in response to user input, respective computer readable values associated with at least two of the work-in-production statuses, the work-in-production statuses including vacant-unrented-ready and vacant-unrented-not-ready;
wherein the system further includes programming capable of performing the steps of:
generating a customer graphical user interface for a potential resident of the multiple units;
searching, in response to input from the potential resident, the property data records of the multiple units;
causing the display, in response to the foregoing searching step, on the customer graphical user interface, at least one potential-resident-selectable, unit-information field, wherein the unit-information field corresponds to a selected unit having the work-in-production status of at least one of vacant-unrented-ready and vacant-unrented-not-ready;
retrieving the promotional collateral associated with the unit-information field in response to selection thereof by the potential resident;
causing the display of the retrieved promotional collateral corresponding to the selected unit;
wherein the programming for causing of the display of the promotional collateral includes programming capable of performing the steps of:
(1) confirming if the selected unit has the status of vacant-rent-ready; and if yes, confirming if the promotional collateral associated with the unit-information field and the selected unit has the collateral status of approved; and if yes, causing the display as the promotional collateral of at least one of: the digital images of the selected unit, a digital brochure of the selected unit, and a digital video of the visual tour of the selected unit;
(2) confirming if the selected unit has the status of vacant-rent-ready; and if yes, confirming if the promotional collateral associated with the unit-information field and the selected unit has the collateral status of not approved; and if yes, causing the display as the promotional collateral of at least one of: the stock digital images corresponding to the selected unit and the stock digital video corresponding to the selected unit; and
(3) confirming if the selected unit has the status of vacant-rent-not-ready; and if yes, causing the display as the promotional collateral of at least one of: the stock digital images corresponding to the selected unit and the stock digital video corresponding to the selected unit.
