The Interactive Map
The ability to Manage your Parks at a glance!

The first thing you see when you log onto Resident Map is a scaled map of your property. Moments later the map will display the status of each unit by color coding the space—giving you an instant “birds eye” view of your property. At a glance a manager, supervisor, or owner can see which spaces are vacant, occupied, have repossessed homes, abandoned homes, model homes, etc—we call this a map report. Map reports can display limitless amounts of information depending on your needs. Map reports can show rent collected vs. delinquent rent, pending move-outs/move-ins, homes for sale, homes with outstanding notices, homes of a certain age, designation of size of home each space will accommodate—the list goes on. You will notice as you move your cursor over each space, information regarding that space is instantly displayed in a static window near the map. Quickly scroll over spaces color coded as “rent delinquent” and see the exact balance owing in the information window. Again, the information displayed in this window is customizable to your needs.

Not only does the map report give instant and vital information, it also serves as a “control panel” and is your primary source for accessing all of Resident Map’s functions. This is what makes Resident Map so easy to learn and use. Resident Map is also menu driven like most traditional software programs. However, most of the functions you will use on a daily basis can be accessed by simply clicking on a space. Try it. When you click on a space a drop-down window will display all of the functions associated with that space. The choices in the drop-down window are intelligent too. For example, Resident Map will not display the “Move-out” function for a space that is already vacant. The map is a hit with all of our customers and makes learning and using Resident Map extremely easy.

Mobile Home Park Communities rely on Park managers. These managers must collect rent, manage property fees, billing, and provide legal notices.
This can be a hard and demanding job depending on whether the manager is able to work with property management software. This software will help managers and owners communicate, while providing the means to do utility billing, tenant billing, and create legal notices. This software will not only take the work out of a managers day, but it will remind them of when things are due, when late fees are to be charged. Taking the work out of a manager’s day.

When it comes to managing a community, there are many things that come into play. Time is an important factor, and will inevitably result in whether you collect the late fees, yard fees, and pet fees. These fees are what keep your income at a reasonable level. If you forget or end up running out of time, your park will soon become accustomed to not having to pay fees or receiving legal notices. And in the end you will be losing money all because of lost time.
Time is money, and money is what allows us to pay for and sustain our families. Resident Map was designed for those who need more time, who need to be reminded of important due dates. Managers and Owners are human, we forget, but a computer never forgets. Let our program keep your business running smoothly, granting you more time for family, and fun. Don’t let fees and legal notices go unnoticed. Your business deserves the opportunity to succeed.
