Understanding asset management in Rentloop
How Rentloop organises your portfolio with properties, blocks, and units — and why your plan is set by your total unit count alone.
When you start managing rentals in Rentloop, the first thing to understand is how your portfolio is organised. Rentloop uses three levels: properties, then blocks, then units. Once this clicks, everything else — adding tenants, reading your bill — makes complete sense.
Two types of properties
When you create a property in Rentloop, the first decision is its type. Everything that follows — whether you set up blocks by hand or not — comes out of that one choice.
A complete housing space rented to one family as a whole — a standalone house, a villa, a compound, a self-contained bungalow.
You never manage blocks. The property is effectively the unit.
One place divided into separate spaces rented independently — apartment complexes, hostels, office buildings, mixed-use developments.
Full control over how your portfolio is structured.
What is a property?
A property represents a physical location — a site or address where your rental assets sit. One property can hold a single building or several buildings at the same location. The test is simple: a property is what you'd call one site or address in the real world.
- A single family house in East Legon — one property, one rentable unit
- An apartment complex in Cantonments with two towers — one property, two blocks, dozens of units
- A hostel near a university campus — one property, floors or sections as blocks, individual rooms as units
- An office park — one property, several office blocks, individual offices as units
What are blocks?
Blocks are how you organise units inside a Multi property. They map to the physical divisions of the place — buildings, towers, wings, floors, or any grouping that means something to you and your officers.
What are units?
Units are the actual spaces tenants rent. Each unit belongs to a block, carries its own settings, and counts towards your plan. Rentloop supports five types, covering both residential and commercial lettings.
How billing is based on units
This is the most important thing to understand about the price: your plan is set by your total unit count, not by how many properties or blocks you have.
Properties and blocks are free containers — make as many as you need. What decides your plan is the total number of units across your whole portfolio.
| Who you are | Properties | Blocks | Units | Plan | Monthly cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Renting out a single house | 1 | 1 (auto) | 1 | Free | GHS 0 |
| 3 houses in different locations | 3 | 3 (auto) | 3 | Free | GHS 0 |
| Small apartment block, 8 units | 1 | 1 | 8 | Starter | GHS 149 |
| Two complexes, 30 units each | 2 | 4 | 60 | Growth | GHS 299 |
| Large hostel, 120 rooms | 1 | 6 | 120 | Enterprise | Custom |
Free covers up to 3 units at no cost. Starter covers up to 50 units at GHS 149/month or GHS 1,490/year, and Growth covers up to 100 units at GHS 299/month or GHS 2,990/year. Above 100 units, reach out for a custom Enterprise plan. You pick your plan when you sign up and can change it whenever your portfolio changes.
Four portfolios, four setups
Three Single properties, each let to a different family. Every one auto-creates its own unit. He tracks rent, repairs and lease papers for all three from one dashboard.
One Multi property, two blocks — Building A with 12 apartments, Building B with 18. Her 30 units sit well inside Starter's 50-unit limit.
Ground floor of 8 retail units, a first floor of 12 offices, a second floor of 10 studios. One Multi property, three blocks, residential and commercial types side by side.
One Multi property, a block per floor, 30 rooms in each. At 90 units the portfolio fits inside Growth's 100-unit limit; past 100 they would move to Enterprise.
Getting started
Setting up your portfolio takes minutes. When you create a property, the wizard walks you through choosing Single or Multi, adding the details and address, and getting to the dashboard.
From there, Multi properties let you add blocks and units one by one — or duplicate a unit to speed things up. When you outgrow your plan's unit limit, upgrading takes effect immediately, and the unused time on your current plan is credited against the new one.
