## Terminology Swaps
- Owner packet -> Onboarding packet, lease packet, launch packet, or asset file: Select the label that matches the buyer agreement and document process.
- Rent-ready -> Listing-ready, tenant-ready, guest-ready, or launch-ready: The readiness term should match the operating team measured by the buyer.

- What should owner onboarding software track for property managers?: It should track owner packets, missing documents, rent-ready blockers, owner reserves, message history, and accounting export readiness by property.
