This help article explains how to choose between the Owner Manager and Third-Party Manager setup options in MagicDoor.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The difference between managing your own properties and managing for others
• Which option to select based on your management structure
• How your selection affects account configuration and features
• What to consider if you manage both your own and others’ properties

Use this article as a reference when setting up your initial MagicDoor account.

Step 1: Understand the Two Options

MagicDoor offers two setup paths based on how you manage properties.

I Manage My Own Properties

Select this option if:

• You only manage properties that you personally own
• You are an owner-operator managing your own portfolio

This setup is optimized for owner-managers and includes features tailored to managing your own properties.

I Manage Other People’s Properties

Select this option if:

• You manage properties for other owners
• You manage both your own properties and properties owned by others

This option unlocks additional features designed for property managers who oversee properties on behalf of others.

Step 2: Make Your Selection

When prompted during your first login:

• Choose the option that best matches how you manage properties
• Continue onboarding to complete your account setup

If you manage any properties for someone else, whether exclusively or alongside your own, you should select I Manage Other People’s Properties.
