Your data entry assistant works from your source documents in your hours, enters them with a second check on every batch, and closes with an exceptions list. Lease abstraction means term, rent, deposit, increases, pet terms, utilities and renewal options entered from each signed lease. Onboarding a new owner's doors means property details, unit specs, appliance serials, keys, insurance and existing tenant records entered before the first rent cycle. Vendor files mean W-9s, insurance certificates, licenses and rate sheets stored with expiry dates. Inspection reports mean photos and condition notes attached to the unit record. Migration projects, such as moving from spreadsheets or a legacy system, are scoped as a batch with a reconciliation at the end. Named assistant, backup, team lead. Plain definition ## What are data entry services? Data entry services are the keying of information from one place into another: paper forms into a database, PDF invoices into accounting software, business cards into a CRM, survey answers into a spreadsheet. A good data entry service adds validation rules, a second-person check and a batch log, so the output can be trusted without re-checking every row yourself. ## What tasks does data entry cover for property management companies? - Abstract signed leases into the system: term, rent, deposit, increases, utilities, options - Enter new owners' properties, units, appliances and existing tenants before onboarding day - Maintain vendor records with W-9s, insurance certificates and expiry dates - Attach inspection reports and photos to unit records - Update rent rolls and tenant contact details from move-ins and renewals - Enter utility accounts and meter details per property - Run migration batches from spreadsheets or legacy systems with a reconciliation - Close each batch with counts entered, checked and an exceptions list ## The KPI that matters here Error rate per 100 records on the second check and new owner properties fully entered before their first rent cycle. Both go on the monthly QA scorecard. ## What rules does data entry follow for property management? 1. **Fair Housing in leasing.** Every prospect gets the same information and the same screening criteria under the Fair Housing Act enforced by HUD and your state's equivalent. Assistants use a written script for availability, criteria and accommodation requests, and never steer or comment on neighborhoods or households. 2. **FCRA and adverse action.** Tenant screening runs through your provider under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, enforced by the FTC and CFPB. Assistants order reports only with the applicant's authorization, apply your written criteria, and send adverse action notices with the required disclosures on your decision. 3. **State landlord-tenant rules.** Notice periods for entry, rent increases, non-renewal and late fees vary by state and city. We keep a rules sheet per jurisdiction you manage and follow it for every notice, and anything that looks like a legal question goes to you or your attorney. 4. **TCPA for prospect and tenant texts.** Showing confirmations, maintenance updates and renewal reminders go by text only with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act enforced by the FCC, with opt-out wording on every message. ## Property management software we work in - [AppFolio](https://assistbpo.com/software/appfolio/) - [Buildium](https://assistbpo.com/software/buildium/) - [RingCentral](https://assistbpo.com/software/ringcentral/) - [QuickBooks Online](https://assistbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Google Workspace](https://assistbpo.com/software/google-workspace/) Also in use - Rent Manager - Propertyware - Property Meld [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for property management companies Other services for property management - [Appointment setting](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/appointment-setting/) - [CRM management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/crm-management/) - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [After-hours answering](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/after-hours-answering/) - [Client intake](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/client-intake/) - [Virtual assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/virtual-assistant/) - [The property management pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/) Data entry in other industries - [Construction & development](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/data-entry/) - [Real estate agents & teams](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/data-entry/) - [Recruiting & staffing agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/data-entry/) - [SaaS & startups](https://assistbpo.com/industries/saas-startups/data-entry/) - [The full data entry page](https://assistbpo.com/services/data-entry/) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you make sure lease data is entered correctly? Each lease is abstracted by the named assistant from the signed document and checked field by field by the backup or team lead before the batch is marked complete. Differences are corrected and counted, and the error rate goes on the monthly QA scorecard. Leases with missing pages, unsigned addenda or unclear terms are listed as exceptions for you rather than guessed at. ### Can you migrate our portfolio from spreadsheets to AppFolio or Buildium? Yes. We scope the migration as batches: properties and units, owners, tenants and leases, vendors, then open work orders and balances. Each batch is entered, checked and reconciled against the source before the next begins, and the final rent roll is reconciled to your bank deposits for the first month. You get a migration log and an exceptions list rather than a surprise at month end. ### Do you keep vendor compliance records current? Yes. Every vendor record holds the W-9, insurance certificate, license and rate sheet with expiry dates, and the assistant checks the expiry list weekly, requests renewals from vendors 30 days ahead, and flags any vendor whose insurance has lapsed so dispatch can pause them. The list of vendors out of compliance appears in the Monday report, with the date each document expired. Next step ## Your desk, staffed. Wherever you are. Tell us what is overloaded.
