Authenticate to the Buildium REST API using your client ID and client secret.
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.
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).
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.
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.
Poll the disbursement record or listen for a status event to confirm the payment was processed; store the disbursement ID and confirmation for reconciliation.
Known gotchas
Buildium's trust accounting rules strictly enforce that owner draws cannot exceed the available owner balance; attempting to overdraw will result in a validation error — retrieve the balance before posting.
EFT disbursements require that the owner's bank account (routing and account number) is already on file in Buildium; the API will not accept bank account details at draw time.
Owner draw endpoints may not be available on all Buildium plan tiers; verify that the financial/accounting API features are enabled for your subscription before building this workflow.
