Overview
ResMan is a property management platform built for multifamily and affordable housing operators — it stores properties, units, tenants, leases, payments, charges, and maintenance work orders in a normalized accounting-centric schema. HubSpot is a CRM that models contacts, companies, deals, and tickets with an association graph. Migrating from ResMan to HubSpot requires translating a housing operations schema into a sales-and-service model: tenants become contacts, properties become companies or custom objects, leases become deals or custom objects, and maintenance requests become tickets. The migration carries all exported records with original timestamps and owner assignments. HubSpot workflows, sequences, and automation logic do not migrate — those must be rebuilt in HubSpot after data lands. FlitStack sequences the load so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly: properties first, then tenants linked to properties, then leases referencing both, then payments and maintenance linked to the resolved records. A delta-pickup window captures any changes made during the cutover window.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ResMan object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
ResMan
Property
HubSpot
Company (or Custom Object: Property)
1:1ResMan properties map to HubSpot companies. If the property itself carries address, type, and unit count, those land as company fields. FlitStack can alternatively create a Property custom object to preserve the unit-hierarchy relationship that HubSpot companies don't natively store.
ResMan
Unit
HubSpot
Custom Object: Unit
1:1HubSpot has no native unit concept. FlitStack creates a Unit custom object linked to the Property company via a lookup field. Fields include bedrooms, bathrooms, sq footage, market rent, and unit status (vacant, leased, notice). This custom object preserves the property-unit hierarchy that HubSpot companies don't natively store.
ResMan
Tenant / Resident
HubSpot
Contact
1:1ResMan tenants map directly to HubSpot contacts. Name, email, phone, move-in date, and current unit assignment migrate. A tenant's lease history (prior units, prior leases) can be stored as contact properties or association notes. This preserves complete residency history for lease renewal outreach and tenant screening purposes.
ResMan
Lease
HubSpot
Deal (or Custom Object: Lease)
1:1A ResMan lease (term dates, rent amount, deposit, status) becomes a HubSpot deal. HubSpot's deal stages can be remapped to lease lifecycle stages: Lease Pending, Active, Expiring Soon, Month-to-Month, Ended. Custom fields on the deal carry term dates, monthly rent, and deposit amounts.
ResMan
Lease Payment
HubSpot
Custom Object: Payment / Activity Log
1:1HubSpot has no native payment recording object. FlitStack creates a Payment custom object linked to the Contact and the Deal (lease). Fields include payment date, amount, method, and charge type. Payment history supports renewal risk reporting in HubSpot dashboards, allowing you to identify tenants with payment patterns that may indicate renewal risk.
ResMan
Charge / Fee
HubSpot
Custom Object: Charge (or line items on Deal)
1:1ResMan charge codes (late fees, pet rent, parking, utility charges) map to a Charges custom object or deal line items. Custom pick-list fields preserve the charge category. Past-due charges can trigger HubSpot workflow enrollments once rebuilt, enabling automated late payment follow-ups and escalation procedures.
ResMan
Maintenance Work Order
HubSpot
Ticket
1:1ResMan work orders map to HubSpot tickets. Category, priority, status, description, and assigned staff transfer. HubSpot's ticket pipelines replace ResMan's work-order status workflow — categories map to pipeline stages, priority maps to the priority pick-list. This enables maintenance team tracking and performance reporting within HubSpot.
ResMan
Owner / Property Manager
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1ResMan staff users are matched to HubSpot users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged before migration. ResMan's property-level staff assignments become HubSpot team assignments or manual owner overrides on records. This ensures proper access control and accountability for migrated property data.
ResMan
Document (Lease Agreement, Addendum)
HubSpot
HubSpot File Attachments (on Contact or Deal)
1:1ResMan lease documents and tenant addenda are downloaded and re-uploaded as HubSpot file attachments linked to the corresponding contact and deal record. Original filenames and upload dates are preserved. This maintains complete document history and legal reference for each lease and tenant relationship.
ResMan
Screening Record
HubSpot
Contact Property (custom fields)
1:1ResMan screening results (credit score, background check, income verification) migrate as custom properties on the contact. No native HubSpot equivalent; custom number and date fields capture the key screening metrics for reference. This preserves tenant screening history and supports future screening validation workflows.

Migration approach
Audit ResMan data model and export via Partner API
FlitStack connects to the ResMan Partner API to enumerate all properties, units, tenants, leases, payments, charges, and maintenance work orders. We produce a field inventory document listing every source field, its data type, and pick-list values. This document drives the HubSpot schema plan: which custom objects to create, which fields to add to contacts and deals, and which value mappings need configuration.
Design HubSpot custom object schema and field mapping plan
Based on the ResMan field inventory, FlitStack delivers a HubSpot schema plan: Unit custom object definition, lease-specific custom fields on the Deal object, Payment and Charge custom objects, and mapping of ResMan pick-list values to HubSpot pick-list values. The plan is reviewed with your HubSpot admin before any data is moved. Property and tenant record ownership assignments are planned at this stage.
Migrate properties and units first, then contacts and deals
The migration sequences so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly. Properties load into HubSpot companies first. Units load next, each linked to its parent property company via the Unit custom object's property lookup. Tenants load as contacts, with their current unit assignment resolved to the migrated Unit record. Leases load as deals, linked to both the tenant contact and the property company. Payments and charges load last, linked to the resolved lease deals.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff on a representative slice
A sample migration runs against a representative slice — typically 50–100 records spanning multiple properties, units, tenants, leases, and a few work orders. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing every mapped value, the resolved lookup targets, and any fields that landed as null. You review the diff before the full migration commits. At this stage, the HubSpot custom object and field schema should be live in your account.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback available
The full migration loads all ResMan records into HubSpot. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in ResMan during the cutover. All operations are logged to an audit trail. One-click rollback is available for 48 hours post-migration if reconciliation reveals mapping errors. After rollback window closes, your team can begin rebuilding automation logic in HubSpot using the migrated data as the foundation.
