Luckily we didn't have any trouble dealing with their staff and repairs.

Your expense ratio will be higher than a MH park (which average about 40%) depending on how many transient spaces you still have, the hours of operation you keep for your onsite staff to accommodate new arrivals, and the amenities at the park that create additional expense.

It is easy to use and even my more casual staff can figure it out.Yardi Breeze was also very good but the front-end marketing and tenant onboarding is very weak in my view and I was going to make too many compromises in my processes to get Breeze to fit.Yardi Voyager is VERY powerful but you will need dedicated staff that always spend time on it.

I have existing plans that I have been modifying along with a staff draftsman at my builder’s company, but I need a really good architect to review these drawings and make some design comments or redlines before I finalize them.
