Twenty years ago, property owners competed by adding swimming pools, upgraded playgrounds, and clubhouses. Today’s tenants in manufactured housing communities prioritize amenities differently.

Suddenly your staff is troubleshooting routers, explaining password resets, and fielding streaming complaints, none of which is what you hired them to do. Tech support shouldn’t consume your team’s day. The key is building systems that resolve issues quickly without turning your office […]
