Everything you need to launch a working Property Management System — prioritized by impact, sequenced by complexity. Built for Landlords, property management companies, and real estate tech founders who want to ship fast and own everything.
Not all features are equal. This checklist separates what you must launch with from what can wait — so you ship faster without cutting corners that matter.
Launch blockers — build these first
Properties with unit details, amenities, photos, and current occupancy status
Tenant profiles, lease start/end, rent amount, deposit, and lease document storage
Tenant pays rent online via Stripe. Auto-apply late fees. Send reminders before due date.
Tenant submits maintenance requests; landlord assigns to vendor; tenant tracks status
High value — ship in week 2
Monthly income/expense per property, net operating income, and tax-ready reports
Post-launch polish and extras
This checklist follows the 80/20 rule: the "Must Have" features deliver 80% of the user value with 20% of the total effort. Every item in the must-have column was chosen because it:
Solves the core problem Landlords, property management companies, and real estate tech founders face every day
Creates a complete user loop from onboarding to core action to outcome
Enables you to charge for the product or validate willingness to pay
Gives you meaningful metrics to improve with in v2
Can be shipped in 1–2 weeks with LaraCopilot
"The goal is not to build a perfect product. The goal is to build the minimum product that proves your assumption and earns your first users."
For a Property Management System, that means shipping authentication, the core data model, one complete user workflow, and a way to collect feedback. Everything else is version 2. LaraCopilot makes this fast.
Use these ready-made prompts to build each must-have feature. Paste them directly into LaraCopilot and get production-ready code.
