Overview
This guide explains how to set up multifamily properties and floorplans in RentEngine and link your available units.
This setup is required for buildings with a paid marketing contract (Zillow, Apartments.com)
This setup is recommended for all buildings with 2+ rental units, so that accompanied showings can be scheduled back-to-back at different units of the same building
Step 1 — Create a multifamily property
Open the Properties tab
At the top of the page, switch from Units to Multifamily Properties
Click Add New
Enter property details
Fill out the required fields:
Property name
Street address
Number of units
Structure type
Year built
Property description
Add amenities and photos
Select the property’s amenities from the dropdown
Upload property photos
Drag and drop photos to control display order
You can also add:
Office hours
Special offers
Open houses (if applicable)
Note: If you have a paid marketing contract for this building, we recommend filling out all the fields so that it displays best
Save the property
Click Save Changes to finish creating the multifamily property.
Step 2 — Set up floorplans (optional)
For the listing sites to display your building with a paid contract, it must have at least one available unit or floor plan at all times.
We recommend adding floorplans so that your property will continue to display, even if there's no available units.
Open the Floorplans tab
Click Add New
Select the Multifamily Property the floorplan belongs to
Floorplan details
You can include:
Floorplan name
Bedrooms and bathrooms
Total units that share this layout
Minimum and maximum square footage
Market rent
Floorplan-specific amenities (e.g., balcony, washer/dryer)
Special offers for that layout
Step 3 — Connect vacancies to the property
Once the multifamily property and floorplans exist, link your active units.
Go to the Properties tab
Find the individual unit in the building
Click Take action → Edit property
Scroll to the bottom of the first page
Select the Multifamily property from the dropdown
Click Next to save
Repeat for all active units in that building
The unit is now connected and eligible for syndication with your paid contract.
