| Title: | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK-BASED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT | |||||
| Abstract: | A property management system includes a tenant system associated with a tenant residing at the rental property, an owner system associated with an owner of the rental property, and a plurality of provider systems, wherein each of the provider systems is associated with a provider configured to provide goods or services to a tenant and/or the rental property. The tenant system, owner system, and provider systems are all configured to communicate over a network (e.g., the Internet). A property management system, also coupled to the network, is configured to communicate with the various systems and to coordinate an income stream from the tenant to the owner. The income stream has two components: one component (a traditional income stream) derived from a rental obligation of the tenant, and a second income stream (a non-traditional income stream) is derived from the property management system's coordination of the plurality of providers in response to a request received from the tenant system. The ratio of income received by the owner from the traditional component is preferably much smaller than that received via the non-traditional component, preferably less than half, and most preferably about zero. | |||||
