Finding a property manager for MHP

[Gulliver R.]

How does an owner find a property manager for a MHP? Is it pretty much the same as finding a manager for an apartment complex? Is it different? What are the things that an MHP owner needs to know about finding, hiring, and having a manager for their MHP?

We manage both apartment builidings and mobile home parks.  From a processes perspective, there are not any significant differences.  The computers sees a unit as a unit.  If a repair request comes in, then we assign the work order to the maintenance tech, and expect them to handle it in a professional way.  I think the key to any multi-unit property is to have trusted maintenance solutions set up, and make sure they can work with your management software for the sake of reporting and record-keeping.
