Purpose-built technology for manufactured housing
For Alex Edwards, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Inspire Communities, success comes from pairing industry expertise with the right operational tools. With a national portfolio of around 100 communities across 25 states, Inspire needed a system capable of managing scale, complexity, and resident needs — all within one cohesive platform.
“Manufactured housing has some similarities to multifamily or home building, but it’s not apples to apples,” said Edwards. “There’s a real need for purpose-built technology in MH — and that’s exactly what ManageAmerica delivers.”
For Inspire’s leadership team, that purpose-built design means they no longer have to piece together multiple systems to handle leases, site management, and day-to-day operations. Everything is connected, organized, and streamlined.
“Being able to go into the backend system, look at leases, look at sites, and have that all in one place — without using software that isn’t tailored for MH — has been key for streamlining our business practices,” Edwards explained.
Streamlining operations across 25 states
Operating in multiple regions requires clear visibility and consistency across communities. ManageAmerica gives Inspire’s corporate and onsite teams a shared source of truth — reducing manual work and improving accuracy at every level of the business.
From leasing and billing to portfolio-wide reporting, the platform’s integrated workflows make it easy to manage complex community operations efficiently and confidently.
“It really is key,” Edwards said. “ManageAmerica allows us to streamline our business practices and simplify the day-to-day operations of our business.”
Built for manufactured housing, not adapted to it
Unlike generic property management software built for apartments or multifamily housing, ManageAmerica is designed specifically for the manufactured housing industry — a distinction Edwards sees as essential.
“There’s a lot of overlap with multifamily and homebuilding,” he said, “but it’s definitely not the same. You need software that understands manufactured housing — and that’s what ManageAmerica does best.”
That deep industry alignment helps Inspire operate more efficiently while staying agile enough to adapt to evolving community and resident needs.

- Operational confidence: Fewer manual processes and more consistent outcomes across every community.
“Having a system where we can manage leases, sites, and operations all in one place — without piecing together generic tools — has been key for streamlining our day-to-day operations,” Edwards said.
