Viewmodel returning no data

Been trying to follow some online examples, with the aim of moving away from using models for my views, to using viewmodels.

I have a model called 'Property' and i have created a ViewModel called 'PropertyIndexViewModel', which my view is now referencing.

My controller action is:

// GET: Property ***TEST***
public async Task<ActionResult> Index1(int? id, PropertyIndexViewModel viewModel)
{
    if (id == null)
    {
        return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
    }
    Property property = await db.Property.FindAsync(id);
    if (property == null)
    {
        return HttpNotFound();
    }
    return View(viewModel);
}

My view isn't throwing any errors, but it's also not returning the expected data from the model?

You have to initialize the view model, fill it with the Property model data and return it.

// GET: Property ***TEST***
public async Task<ActionResult> Index1(int? id)
{
    if (id == null)
    {
        return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
    }
    Property property = await db.Property.FindAsync(id);
    if (property == null)
    {
        return HttpNotFound();
    }

    var viewModel = new PropertyIndexViewModel {
        Prop1 = property.Prop1
        // your stuff
    };

    return View(viewModel);
}

In your view you have to specify the model:

@model PropertyIndexViewModel
