Lotly vs. DoorLoop for Mobile Home Parks
DoorLoop is a newer entrant to the property management space. Modern UX, all-in-one positioning, sensible pricing. For mixed-portfolio operators below institutional scale, it's a reasonable choice. For MHP-specific workflows, it falls into the same generalist trap as larger competitors.

Where DoorLoop wins
DoorLoop is genuinely modern in UX — it doesn't feel like a legacy tool with a UI refresh. For small-to-mid mixed portfolios where the operator wants one tool across property types, it's a credible choice.
Where it doesn't fit MHP
Generalist by design. No lot/home rent split, no certified mail, no infill stage tracking. For a small park as part of a mixed portfolio, DoorLoop handles it. For pure-MHP operators above ~100 lots, the gaps compound.
Pricing comparison
DoorLoop's tiered pricing is competitive — starting around $59/month for very small portfolios, scaling up with unit count. For MHP, per-unit pricing creates the same vacant-lot dead-weight problem as larger generalist platforms.
When to switch
MHP-focused operators on DoorLoop typically migrate around the third park or when audit/reporting requirements expose the gaps. The DoorLoop UX advantage doesn't outweigh the MHP-fit issues at scale.
