Post to controller store from a form action

Hy, I'm trying to post an action from a form directly to the controller store method (It's a create action). I use laravel 5.5 and decided to use pure HTML. But after clicking the submit button, nothing goes into the database. How can I fix this....

see the route for that controller method Route::resource('admin/properties', 'AdminPropertiesController', ['as' => 'admin']);

see the controller store method itself

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Requests\PropertiesCreateRequest;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Property;
use App\Category;
use App\Photo;

class AdminPropertiesController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        //
        $properties = Property::all();
        return view('admin.properties.index', compact('properties'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        //
        $categories = Category::all();
        return view('admin.properties.create', compact('categories'));
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(PropertiesCreateRequest $request)
    {
        //
        //get all available inputs
        $input = $request->all();
        
        //get the logged in user
        $user = Auth::user();

        //grab the photo_id from users table
        if($file = $request->file('photo_id')){
            
            //concatenate time ti filename
          $name = time() . $file->getClientOriginalName();

          //move named file to images folder, that wil b automatically created
          $file->move('images', $name);

            //main photo table column(key) having a value of filename frm users table
          $photo = Photo::create(['cover_image'=>$name]);

          //equatin the user photo_id to the photo->id frm the main photos table
          $input['photo_id'] = $photo->id;
        }

        /* $Category = Category::create($input); */

        //to mk sure only logged in user Categorys are created.
         //tis is why we av the hasMany r/s in Users Model, so that whn a logged-in user cn create morethan one Category
        $user->properties()->create($input);
        return redirect('/admin/properties'); 
       
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        //
    }
}
