Metro 2 Integration for Propertyware

Connect to Propertyware's REST API using a simple API key (no approval process required) to extract tenant records, lease terms, payment history, and property data for your single-family rental portfolio. Full Swagger documentation is available at app.propertyware.com/apidocs/index.html. Metro2 maps each field to the Metro 2 Base Segment, validates against CDIA formatting rules, and submits to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Propertyware is owned by RealPage and offers API access at just $1/unit/month — making credit reporting feasible for smaller SFR operators.

How It Works

Metro2 authenticates to Propertyware's REST API using an API key (no approval process required). It pulls tenant records, lease terms, payment history, and property data from JSON endpoints documented in the Swagger spec. Each field is mapped to the Metro 2 Base Segment, validated against CDIA rules, and submitted to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

SFR-Focused Platform

Propertyware is purpose-built for single-family rental (SFR) portfolios. The API reflects this focus with endpoints optimized for scattered-site property management.

Owned by RealPage

Propertyware is a RealPage company. Enterprise infrastructure and data reliability backing an SFR-focused product.

Low-Cost API Access

Data Fields That Sync

Metro2 maps these fields from Propertyware to Metro 2 format automatically.

Tenant contact information (name, address, phone, email) via REST API
Tenant SSN — check Propertyware tenant record availability; if not present, collected via Metro2's encrypted form
Lease details (start date, end date, rent amount, lease type) from lease endpoints
Payment records with date, amount, and method from payment endpoints
Outstanding balances calculated from charges vs. payments
Property address, unit data, and property type from property endpoints
Account status derived from lease status and payment history

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for single-family only?

While Propertyware focuses on single-family rental (SFR), our integration works for any property type managed in the platform. The API endpoints return the same data structure regardless of property type.

How does Propertyware API authentication work?

Propertyware uses simple API key authentication — no OAuth, no approval process. Generate your key in account settings and start making API calls. Documentation is available at app.propertyware.com/apidocs/index.html.

How much does API access cost?

Propertyware charges $1/unit/month for API access. This is significantly cheaper than competitors like Yardi ($25K/year interface partnership) or Entrata ($5K+ annual fees).

Can I backdate reporting?

You can report up to 24 months of historical payment data if you have the records in Propertyware. Metro2 will pull historical charge and payment data from the API.

Is Propertyware related to Buildium?

Yes — both Propertyware and Buildium are owned by RealPage. Propertyware focuses on SFR while Buildium targets multifamily and mixed portfolios. Metro2 integrates with all three (RealPage, Buildium, and Propertyware).

Are there API rate limits?

Propertyware does not publicly document strict rate limits, but Metro2 implements conservative request pacing and exponential backoff as a best practice.

Does Propertyware natively report to credit bureaus?

Propertyware includes AI-powered tenant screening but does not have built-in rent reporting to consumer credit bureaus. This Metro2 integration fills that gap.
