Help Finding Best Software for Managing Small Mobile Home Park
What is the best mgt software for a small 25 site mobile home park? No park owned homes. Fully leased out. Rural setting but there is reliable internet in the area.
Looking for recommendations on best software for general management, and most importantly, receiving lot rent? Has anyone gone fully electronic with success in small MHPs?
The software support of maintenance requests, communication, and general storage of data would be really nice, but the most important feature would be ease of payment for tenants. Not much turnover in the park.
Used Buildium for a bit with SF rentals and considered it "okay". that's my only experience with mgt software.
Any and all guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated!

I found Rentec Direct to be more affordable for smaller parks. Tenants can pay online (via ACH is free but there is a fee if they use a Debit or CC) and they can see their rent account online. You can basically do it all online, including background checks, leases and end of year accounting.
Despite all of that, most of my tenants pay with money order since they don't have bank accounts. However, many of the residents check their account online via their phone, even if they don't pay that way. The system can also send texts, reminders, emails, etc. I've been using it for 1 1/2 years and I have been happy with it. Good luck!
