Overview
Property types help you keep everything organized and running smoothly. In DoorLoop, you’ll choose either Residential or Commercial when setting up a property, along with a sub-category to match. If you picked the wrong one, no problem. Updating the type is simple, and we’ll walk you through it.
The Steps
To edit the property type of a property, click Rentals on the main menu and then click on Properties.
Find and click on the Property you want to edit the property type for.
Once on the property, click the Settings tab and then click Property Type.
On the Property Type section of the Edit Property window, you can choose a different sub-category from what you had chosen before, or choose an entirely different property type, switching from commercial to residential or vice-versa.
Click Save to finish.
That's it. Classify with confidence. DoorLoop gives you the flexibility to stay accurate, even when plans change.
Tip: If you plan on listing the property and unit, the property type must be correctly chosen based on the actual property type; otherwise, the listing may be blocked. Below is how you should choose the residential property type for your rental:
Single-Family Home:
Standalone residential structure
Intended for one family
Multi-Family Home:
Residential building with multiple units
This is used when you own every unit in a multi-unit building (with the exception of duplexes and triplexes)
If your Multi-Family Home has more than 25 units, there will be fees for the landlord (this is when they’ll have to use their company ID).
Condo:
Use this when you own a unit in a building, but not the entire building
Shared common areas with other units
Duplexes and triplexes also fall under this category
Listings will be blocked if you do not own the entire building
Townhome:
Multi-floor home sharing one or more walls with adjacent properties
Has its own entrance
Other:
Properties not fitting the categories
