Property Management Companies using LotWize to manage HOA portfolios.
How to Use It
Step 1: View Your Community List
From the PMC portal, click "Communities" in the sidebar. You will see every community in your portfolio with quick stats like member count and active issues.
Step 2: Add a New Community
Click "Add Community" and fill in the basics: name, address, and contact info. You can also set the community's website domain here.
Step 3: Manage Board Portal Access
Click on any community, then go to the "Board Access" tab. Invite board members by email. They will get a link to their own board portal where they can see reports and vote on issues.
Common Issues
Q: A board member did not get their portal invite. A: Ask them to check spam. If it is not there, click "Resend Invite" from the Board Access tab.
Q: Can I remove a community from my portfolio? A: Yes, but be careful. Go to the community settings and click "Archive." This hides it from your active list but keeps the data safe.
Pro Tips
- Use the search bar to find communities fast when your portfolio grows.
- Add a profile picture or logo for each community — it makes the board portal feel personal.
