Movin' In

Movin' In is a Rental Property Management Platform, agency-oriented with a backend for managing properties, customers and bookings, a frontend and a mobile app for renting properties.

Movin' In is built with React for its powerful rendering capabilities, MongoDB for flexible data modeling, and Stripe for secure payment processing.

This project emerged from a desire to build without boundaries – a fully customizable and operational property rental platform where every aspect is within your control:

  • Own the UI/UX: Design unique customer experiences without fighting against template limitations
  • Control the Backend: Implement custom business logic and data structures that perfectly match the requirements
  • Master DevOps: Deploy, scale, and monitor the application with preferred tools and workflows
  • Extend Freely: Add new features and integrations without platform constraints or additional fees

With this solution, you can deploy your own customizable property rental marketplace at minimal cost using the Docker-based setup. The platform integrates Stripe for secure payments and can be efficiently hosted on a 1GB RAM droplet, making it an ideal choice for single/multi-agency operations looking for a scalable and cost-effective solution. You can deploy this solution for under $5 monthly using cloud providers like Hetzner or DigitalOcean.

Movin' In is designed to work with multiple agencies. Agencies can manage their properties and bookings from the backend. Movin' In can also work with only one agency and can be used as a property rental aggregator.

From the backend, administrators can create and manage agencies, properties, locations, users and bookings.

When new agencies are created, they receive an email prompting them to create their account to access the backend and manage their properties, customers and bookings.

Customers can sign up from the frontend or the mobile app, search for available properties based on location point and time, choose a property and complete the checkout process.

A key design decision was made to use TypeScript instead of JavaScript due to its numerous advantages. TypeScript offers strong typing, tooling, and integration, resulting in high-quality, scalable, more readable and maintainable code that is easy to debug and test.

I invested significant time and effort into building this open-source project to make it freely available to the community. If this project has been helpful in your work, consider supporting its continued development and maintenance. You can contribute through GitHub Sponsorship (one-time or monthly), PayPal, or Buy Me a Coffee. Even a simple star on the GitHub repository helps spread the word and is greatly appreciated.
