This onboarding walkthrough will guide you through setting up your organization, ownership entities, and your first property—everything you need to start managing rentals.

Step 1: Configure Organization Settings

2. Enter the Street Address.
3. Enter City, Country, Province/State, and Postal Code.
4. Add your first unit:
   • Unit Number (e.g., "101", "Suite A").
