Lotly vs. ResMan for Mobile Home Parks
ResMan is a modern alternative to legacy apartment platforms — strong UX, modern accounting, mobile-first design. For apartment operators, it's a serious contender. For MHP, it has the same structural fit issues as other apartment platforms.
| Feature | Lotly | ResMan |
|---|---|---|
| Lot-level occupancy tracking | Native | Unit-based |
| Lot rent vs. home rent split | Native, separate billing | Combined rent typical |
| Park-aware tenant screening | Built-in (TU + criminal + housing records) | Built-in apartment-tuned |
| ACH-first rent collection | Default; sub-$1 per transaction | Available; not default |
| Built-in certified mail | Native one-click | Not native |
| Infill stage tracking | Native 6-stage pipeline | Not native |
| Owner statements | MHP-formatted, no QBO required | Apartment-style |
| Tenant portal mobile-first | Sub-90-second pay flow | Modern UX |
| Pricing model | Per-lot, vacant-free, month-to-month | Per-unit annual |
| Built specifically for MHP | Yes — designed for parks from day one | Apartment-first |
Where ResMan wins
For apartment-focused mid-market operators (250-2,500 units), ResMan offers a modern alternative to AppFolio and Yardi at competitive pricing. The UX is genuinely better than legacy enterprise tools.
Where it doesn't fit MHP
Same fit issues — unit-based data model, no lot/home rent split, no MHP-specific compliance workflows. For mixed-portfolio operators with a small park count, it works as a stretch. For MHP-first operators, the gaps compound.
Pricing comparison
ResMan's per-unit pricing is competitive with the broader apartment market. For MHP, the same per-unit math creates the same problem — paying for vacant lots and POH-as-separate-units inflates the effective cost.
When to switch
MHP-heavy operators typically don't end up on ResMan in the first place. The cases we see are mixed-portfolio operators evaluating tools — the recommendation is usually to use ResMan for apartments and Lotly for parks rather than force one tool to do both.
Best for
ResMan: Mid-to-large apartment operators looking for a more modern alternative to legacy enterprise tools.
