# Multi-site property management IT checklist

Multiple properties create more handoffs, devices, vendors, and access decisions. Use this checklist to create a clear operating baseline across offices and locations.

Updated: August 16, 2026

## Create one location and ownership register

A multi-site environment is easier to support when each location has a named owner, a documented technology baseline, and a current escalation path.

- List every office, leasing center, property, and remote operating location.
- Record the local contact, management owner, internet provider, phone provider, and urgent escalation contact.
- Document the equipment, network, printer, phone, and access dependencies that are unique to each location.
- Identify which systems are shared across the portfolio and which are local to one office or property.

## Standardize access without ignoring local roles

A consistent access process should make the common work repeatable while preserving the different responsibilities of leasing, maintenance, accounting, and management staff.

- Define role-based access for email, shared files, property applications, vendor portals, and remote access.
- Use named accounts and documented approvals for elevated or shared access.
- Review employee, vendor, and former employee access across every location on a repeatable schedule.
- Record who owns shared mailboxes, property files, recovery methods, and location-specific credentials.

## Test the portfolio-wide operating basics

A short test at each location can reveal the small failures that become expensive when a whole team is waiting for help.

- Test internet, Wi-Fi, printing, calling, sign-in, shared files, and core business applications.
- Confirm that remote employees can reach the resources their roles require.
- Review backup status, device updates, endpoint protection, and account security controls.
- Keep a prioritized list of recurring issues, deferred work, vendor dependencies, and the next review date.

## Frequently asked questions

### What belongs in a multi-site IT baseline?

Include locations, contacts, internet and phone services, network equipment, devices, key applications, account owners, vendor details, backup responsibilities, and open risks.

### Should every property use identical technology?

Not necessarily. Standardize the process, documentation, security expectations, and support path while allowing for building, portfolio, and role differences.

### How often should a portfolio register be reviewed?

Review it on a regular operating schedule and whenever a property is acquired, sold, opened, moved, or assigned to a new management team.
