I am looking to create a property management site to make the billing and collection of Ground Rents a much simpler process.

Currently most ground rent owners bill the tenants annually or bi-annually and it is a manual and laborous process of mailing letters to each individual tenant and they keep track of when rents are due and by whom in some form of spreadsheet.
I would like to create a full managed solution where the Ground Rent owner would:
1) Create an account.
2) load all of their property infomation
3) could track when rents are due and paid or over due
4) print out invoices (formatted for a #10 Window Envelope) to send to all tenants or optionally email the invoices if they have an email address for the teneant.
5) Generate Reports - probably 5 or 6 basic canned reports. (Annual Gross Income, Rents paid on time or overdue and by how many days, etc...)
The invoices should be generated based off of a template that takes variables from the user account and plugs them in. Probably would need two templates one for inital rent collection and one for overdue collection. Users should be able to upload a logo that can be inserted into the invoice as well if desired.
This will be a subcription based service using paypal or 2 Checkout for re-occuring billing payment processing:
Create a Free account and manage one property
2-50 = $xx.00
51-100 = $xx.00
101+ = $xx.00
Users should be able to upgrade from the free to a paid plan from within the user console.
There should be an admin interface wher I can access and modify all user accounts. Keep track of how many accounts I have and the billing plan that they are on.
I should be able to send email out to all users from the admin console that will also be posted to the user console as well.
This should be template based so I can easily modify the design on my own.
I think that is the bulk of my plan. I expect the the programmer selected will be available for long term support and bug fixes as well as upgrades. This is going to be a version 1 release. I already have plans and notes created for version 2 with upgrades and new features. I want to get this initial framework created and up and running before adding alot of additional features.
