Custom Property Management OS for a Real Estate Company
William Campbell
A custom property management operating system built for a real estate company — one app to run an entire rental portfolio, with AI handling the repetitive collection, triage, and reporting work in the background.
Capabilities case study. The figures shown in the live app (occupancy, rent collected, tenant names) are realistic sample data used to demonstrate the system, not reported client outcomes.
The Problem
Property managers run on disconnected tools: a spreadsheet for rent, an inbox for maintenance, a separate file for owner accounting, and sticky notes for lease renewals. Nothing talks to each other, so the manager becomes the integration layer — chasing late rent, triaging "no heat" emails at 7am, and rebuilding the same owner report by hand every month.
What I Built
A custom React / Next.js web app, built in Claude Code and deployed on Vercel, with five connected modules:
Portfolio Dashboard — occupancy, rent collected vs. expected, open maintenance, and leases expiring within 90 days, plus a live AI-assistant activity feed and a "Needs Attention" panel for late rent and upcoming renewals.
AI Maintenance Triage — tenants submit a free-text request; the system automatically assigns a priority and routes it to the right vendor from the description (e.g. "no heat" → Urgent), tracked across a New → In Progress → Scheduled → Completed board.
Financials — cash flow, net operating income, expense breakdown by category, and a full transactions table with payment method, status, and CSV export.
AI-Generated Reports — one-click owner-ready reports (monthly owner summary, P&L, rent roll, delinquency) that regenerate automatically each month.
AI Operations Assistant — sends scheduled rent reminders, drafts late-payment notices, flags urgent maintenance the moment it arrives, and auto-assigns jobs to vendors.
Why It Matters
Most property management software is rigid, generic SaaS the company has to bend its process around. This is the opposite: a custom operating system shaped to exactly how this company runs its portfolio, with AI doing the repetitive work so the manager can stop being the glue between five different tools.
