Property Owner Guide

Your investment, your visibility. Here's how to read your project dashboard and stay in the loop.

Your role in Flipsterz

As a property owner, you have a read-only view of the entire project — budget, task progress, costs, and milestones. Your broker keeps this updated as work happens. You'll also be asked to approve costs before major work begins, so you're always in control of spending.

Your Dashboard

Log in and you'll land here — a list of your properties.

1
Click Your Property

Your dashboard shows every property your broker has connected you to. Click the address to open the full project view. Most owners have one property at a time — your broker adds you when your flip is set up.

2
Bookmark the Property Page

Once you open your property, bookmark that URL. It's the fastest way back to your project view without going through the dashboard each time.

Reading the Project HUD

The dark panel at the top of your property page is the Project Command Center — your live project snapshot.

1
Health Score

A number from 0–100 that reflects how the project is tracking against budget and timeline. 80+ is healthy. Below 60 means something needs attention — check the Smart Alerts below it.

2
Days Remaining

Shows how many days are left until the target completion date your broker set. If it goes red, the project is running behind schedule.

3
Task Status Warboard

A strip of colored status pills — one per task — so you can see at a glance how many tasks are done, in progress, or still in draft. Green = complete. Red = needs broker review. Orange = needs rework.

4
Smart Alerts

Auto-generated plain-English alerts below the warboard. These flag anything that needs attention — budget warnings, timeline issues, or items waiting for your approval. Clickable — tap an alert to jump straight to the relevant section.

Budget & Cost Tracking

Your money, tracked in real time.

1
Rehab Budget vs. Actual Spend

The HUD shows your total rehab budget alongside the actual money spent so far (from uploaded receipts). The color tells the story: green = under budget, yellow = approaching limit, red = over.

2
Cost Tracking Tabs

Below the task board you'll find four tabs: Receipts (paid), Refunds (returned), Invoices (owed), Estimates (projected). Your broker keeps these updated as the project moves. Each tab shows individual documents you can click to view.

3
Holding Costs

If your broker entered a daily holding cost (mortgage, taxes, insurance per day), the HUD shows how much has accumulated since the project started. This is a real reminder that every extra day costs money — it's one reason flips move fast.

Watching Task Progress

1
The Task Board

Below the HUD you'll see the Task Board — a card for each scope of work. Each card has a colored border matching its status, a progress bar showing sub-task completion, and the estimated vs. actual budget for that scope.

3
Click In for More Detail

Click View Progress on any task card to see the full sub-task breakdown, photos, and documents for that scope. You can't edit anything — but you can see exactly what work has been done and what's outstanding.

Approving Costs

Before significant work starts, your broker will ask you to approve the winning bid.

1
You'll See a Yellow Alert

When a task moves to Owner Approval, a yellow smart alert appears on your HUD. Click the task name in the alert to view the details and the selected bid amount.

2
Review the Bid

The task detail page will show the estimate your broker selected as the winning bid. Review the scope of work and the cost — this is what you're authorizing before work begins.

3
Approve or Push Back

If the cost looks right, your broker will mark it approved and work begins. If you have concerns, call or message your broker directly — they'll adjust the scope or find alternative bids before moving forward.

Your protection: No task moves from Owner Approval to In Progress without this gate. You always see what's being spent before the money leaves.
