Straight Answers About TenCMS, Migrations, and Ownership
Multifamily software vendors are famous for hiding their pricing, locking up your website content, and giving vague answers about technical SEO. Here are plain-English answers to the ten questions property managers, marketing directors, and owners ask us most.
Product, Pricing, and Technical FAQs
Every answer below stays in the page HTML whether the accordion is open or closed, so both renters, buyers, and search engines can read the full text immediately.
1. When will TenCMS be available, and what is the current status?
TenCMS is currently in active development, with early access opening in 2027. We are building the platform in structured sprints and inviting founding multifamily partners through our Early Access waitlist so we can prepare migrations and custom domain setups ahead of your current vendor contract renewals.
2. How much will TenCMS cost, and do you charge per page?
Final tier pricing will be confirmed at early access launch, designed to replace both your website CMS fee and your separate local SEO retainer at a fraction of the combined cost. Unlike legacy vendors that charge $100 per month for every extra neighborhood page beyond five, page count on paid TenCMS plans is completely unmetered. You should never be penalized for publishing helpful local content.
3. Who owns the website, the domain name, and the content?
You do. You connect your own custom domain, and you keep full ownership of your copy, photos, floor plan data, and redirect history. Every TenCMS tier includes a built-in export tool that lets you download your entire site archive, media manifest, and redirect table anytime without opening a support ticket.
4. How do the chat interviews inside the CMS actually work?
First, TenCMS reads your existing website, your PMS/ILS feed, your Google Business Profile, and your street address so it never wastes your time asking for facts you already published. Then it asks your leasing and management team short, five-minute questions in chat—like what exact phrases callers use to describe the building or what top objections come up on tours. Those real answers shape your page copy, FAQs, and keyword targets.
5. What happens when a rent price, fee, or office hour changes?
In TenCMS, prices, square footage, pet rules, and office hours are stored in a central database and placed on pages as smart fact chips rather than plain typed text. When a price changes via your feed or in the editor, every page, meta description, FAQ answer, and Schema.org Offer tag referencing that fact re-renders automatically so your site never shows conflicting numbers.
6. Will TenCMS connect to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, and other PMS feeds?
Yes. TenCMS is being built as a neutral website platform that reads unit availability, pricing, and floor plans from major property management systems and ILS feeds while keeping your existing resident portal and online application links intact. If a feed ever goes down temporarily, TenCMS continues serving your last verified price with an honest timestamp rather than showing “$0” or a broken page.
7. Can one website run a portfolio of 15 or 30 buildings?
Yes. From day one, TenCMS separates the website from the physical building location in its database. You can run a single-building site or a 30-building portfolio on one domain where each building still keeps its own street address, phone number, office hours, Google Business Profile, and local drive times.
8. Will AI ever publish changes to our live website without our permission?
Never. Human-in-the-loop approval is a hard rule of our architecture. TenCMS drafts pages, stages technical SEO fixes, and prepares social posts, then places them in your Approval Center with a clear preview and Fair Housing scan result. Only a named human on your team can click approve to publish.
9. How do you migrate an existing apartment website without losing Google rankings?
Our Migration Studio unions your current sitemap, Search Console queries, GA4 landing pages, and historical URLs to build a complete 301 redirect map before launch. We also verify your CallRail tracking numbers, PMS application links, and email DNS records so your lead funnel never skips a beat on cutover day.
10. Where does our team sign in to manage the website?
Your team signs in right on your own property domain at yourdomain.com/admin—protected by two-factor authentication and passkeys. Have more questions about how the tools fit together? Check out our Platform Overview.
