Multi-property portfolios without the spreadsheet

JKJarakey·4 min read·Updated Apr 2026

Property managers who run more than one property tend to live in their head. The mental model is the actual operating system. Which unit on which floor in which property owes which month? It is a lot to carry. The spreadsheet helps, until the spreadsheet stops opening on your phone.

The fix is the property switcher

Every screen in Jarakey is scoped to one property at a time, but switching is two taps. The data does not blur. Bills are scoped. Tenants are scoped. The rent roll is scoped. Switch property and the same screen reloads with the right numbers. You stop carrying it in your head.

What multi-property portfolios get

  • A portfolio overview that totals occupancy and rent collection across every property in your account.
  • Per-property RBHS, so a co-manager only sees the properties you assign them to.
  • Per-unit bill recipients, so a property you bought from another landlord can keep its existing payment routing without a migration.
  • One Paystack subaccount per landlord, automatically configurable, so the right people get paid the right amount.

What it looks like at month-end

Open the dashboard. Pick “all properties”. The total rent collected, the total bills outstanding, the total visitor codes used, all in one view. Drill into any number for the breakdown. Export the month if your accountant wants a CSV. Sleep, possibly.
