# Creating Properties – missing from Documentation

 * For anyone else stuck with the page not found error…
 * After you set the post type and create a community, you also need to create the
   properties that go in that community. This is referenced in the documentation,
   but it is missing the step to show how to create the property.
 * This is compounded by the fact that there is a separate “Properties” option on
   your left admin sidebar. You would assume all options are under “Communities”
   but you have to scroll down to locate the options for Properties.
 * After creating a property, assign it to a community using the metabox as explained
   in the documentation.
 * For my scenario, I had to create a set of categories at the community level. 
   For example, I’m listing the Communities by Beachside, Condo, Custom, Single 
   Family, etc. Then I’m assigning the individual properties within those communities.
 * With this approach, a property can show up in multiple communities, such as Condo
   and Beachside, or Single Family and Beachside.
 * We can set featured images at the Community level, but not the Property level.
   So when you open the “Beach” community (in my example) I see only a list of the
   properties – no associated images. That’s fine, but property images would be 
   nicer.
 * Based upon the demo, I’m not sure if my approach is how the author intended. 
   I have a layer between the “Our Communities” page and the final published property
   page that doesn’t exist in the demo.
 * Hope this helps!

 * To clarify my scenario, I’m not listing individual properties at each address–
   but rather neighborhoods. For example, let’s say there’s planned development,
   with a variety of different areas. Within each area there are different neighborhoods.
   I’m providing a summary at those levels – for my purposes, no need to go to the
   unit level.
 * However, I’m not thrilled with my workaround above.
 * * Can’t set a featured image for the “neighborhood” (property page) – so when
   you open an area (category) like the beach, you see the list of neighborhoods(
   properties), but no images.
 * * In addition to the lack of featured image, the properties page limited isn’t
   integrated with comments or my ratings system plugin. There’s probably a way 
   to hack this, but I haven’t figured it out yet.
 * * On the main landing page (a normal page built with the shortcode) The communities(
   categories) are not aligned. Two on the first row, 1 on the second row, 2 on 
   the third.
 * * On the Neighborhood (properties) page, the properties at the bottom are listed
   in random order.
 * I like the concept of this plugin, but I’m not a coder so I’m probably going 
   to give up on it unless the author returns and can provide some suggestions.
