Should I separate contacts from properties in Podio?

[Drew Clements]

I'm on day 3 of setting up Podio. My first project is organizing the properties/contacts I've identified while driving for dollars. I feel a little stuck at the moment as I'm trying to refine the apps.

My thought is that I should manage sellers as contacts separate from properties - treating each as separate items in separate apps, but connecting them through relationships.

I set up a basic app for each and started playing with it, but it still seems clunky - If any of you actively use Podio, I'd love to get your thoughts on this kind of setup (separating properties and sellers, but connecting them through relationships)... and then setting up a workflow for mailings. What approach would you recommend? Any resources you would suggest for getting up the learning curve faster?

Any help is much appreciated! (I'm floundering a bit here!)
