First impressions are everything in this business.

When a prospective tenant drives through your park, they are evaluating what they see and they are making judgements about the landscaping and the quality of life they can expect if they move in.

Existing tenants are heavily influenced by how the park makes them feel and they happier they are, the more likely they are to follow the rules, pay the rent on time and renew their leases.

In this module, you will learn how to maintain your park and any park-owned homes to make a good first impression on prospective tenants.
