Manage owner draws and disbursements via Buildium API

Steps

1. Authenticate to the Buildium REST API using your client ID and client secret.
2. Retrieve the list of rental owner entities associated with your portfolio via the rental owners endpoint; each owner record includes owner ID, name, and associated property IDs.
3. GET the owner ledger or owner financials endpoint for a specific owner to review the current owner balance (funds held in trust available for disbursement).
4. Confirm that a disbursable balance exists and that trust accounting rules are satisfied before initiating a draw; Buildium enforces trust compliance — disbursing more than the available balance will be rejected.
5. POST an owner disbursement (owner draw) via the owner disbursements endpoint, specifying the owner ID, amount, payment method (EFT or check), and the bank account from which to draw.
6. Poll the disbursement record or listen for a status event to confirm the payment was processed; store the disbursement ID and confirmation for reconciliation.
