MHP Owners — What Technology Am I Missing?
It’s been a few years since I last owned and operated a mobile home park, and I’m getting back into the business.
I’m curious what the more tech-savvy park owners are using these days to make operations easier, reduce headaches, and save time.
A few areas I’m particularly interested in:
-
Rent collection: What platforms are you using for online payments, ACH, autopay, and tracking delinquencies?
-
Websites: Are you building dedicated park websites for rental applications, available homes, online payments, and tenant communication?
-
Property management software: What’s working well specifically for MHPs?
-
Tenant communication: Texting platforms, automated reminders, maintenance requests, and notices?
-
AI & automation: Anyone using AI or other tools to automate administrative tasks?
-
Bookkeeping: What software integrates well with your rent collection and banking?
-
Marketing vacancies: What’s working best for finding qualified tenants and selling park-owned homes?
-
Anything else: What technology has made the biggest difference in how you operate your parks?
I’m especially interested in hearing from owners of smaller parks who aren’t running large corporate operations.
If you were starting over today, what technology would you consider essential, and what would you avoid wasting money on?
Looking for real-world experience, not sales pitches. Appreciate any recommendations!
