How to track down undefined method in rails

I'm getting this error, "NoMethodError: undefined method `user' for #" and not sure how to track down how my 'user' is not defined.

My user.rb is this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end

My property.rb is this:

class Property < ActiveRecord::Base
end

And my migration file is this:

class AddUserIdToProperties < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :properties, :user_id, :interger
    add_index :properties, :user_id
  end
end

And here's my controller

 def create
    @property = Property.new(property_params)

      if @property.save
        redirect_to @property, notice: 'Property was successfully created.'
      else
        render :new
      end
    end

It seems to be breaking when in my properties_controller.rb I change this:

 def new
    @property = Property.new
  end

to this: 

def new
    @property = current_user.property.build
  end

Here's my error logs

By looking your migration its look like you have to add this,

class Property < ActiveRecord::Base
   belongs_to :user
end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
   has_one :property
end
