SG Communities partners with Boom to streamline tenant screening and mitigate compliance risks for their 7,000+ lots.
This case study is based on an interview with Angelica Rodriguez, Operations Manager at SG Communities. All quotes are attributed to her unless stated otherwise.
SG Communities is a provider of manufactured homes, via purchase or rent-to-own, that operates in 16 states (including California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas) with 70+ communities and 7,000+ doors. Their team of Operations Managers, District Managers, and Community Managers must all work together seamlessly to ensure residents are moved in swiftly, payments are made on time, and home vacancies are filled efficiently. In April 2024, their team implemented BoomScreen to streamline tenant screening and contribute to the company’s high operational standards. Since their initial implementation, Angelica Rodriguez, Operations Manager at SG Communities said, “Boom has proven to be a reliable and valuable partner, consistently exceeding our expectations.”
“From the outset, Boom demonstrated a strong commitment to rapid product development and a deep understanding of our needs. Their focus on improving application processing time and identifying qualified tenants has been invaluable. By outsourcing this function, we've significantly enhanced efficiency and reduced administrative burdens on our onsite team.”
With Boom, renters can build their credit over time as they make consistent, on-time rental payments.
Boom reports rent payments to all three major credit bureaus—Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.
All renters using Boom can track their reported payments and credit score progress via the Boom app.
Customer support for you, your applicants, and your renters in minutes, not days.
As a CRA, Boom handles all screening report disputes, requests for report copies, and requests for data updates,
English and Spanish support for your renters—and more languages coming soon.
At Boom, our goal is to make housing more flexible, affordable, and rewarding.
Boom was started in late 2020 as one of our co-founders, Rob Whiting, helped two of his family members navigate housing instability due to
COVID-19 - related job loss. During this time, he saw just how archaic and difficult renting remains for the majority of the 110 million renters in the US like his family members. And the rent payment is at the center of this.
Not only has rent increased >4x faster than income for the majority of renters since the early 2000s, but the tools available to renters and landlords alike has similarly stagnated. Rent remains one large lump sum, with no additional benefits on top of paying rent - a fact that can make renting feel like money down the drain. At Boom, we believe that housing can be more flexible, affordable, and rewarding. We’ve started by enabling you to build credit with the rent payments you already make.

The team at SG Communities is dedicated to building communities you can be proud to call home. Every resident should feel welcomed in their community, and we take our role in that process seriously. SG Communities is committed to the details that help create a sense of community. We believe that amenities like soccer fields, playgrounds, basic security features, etc. are as important to building a solid community as the homes themselves.
This commitment also means that we are involved in each community we’re a part of - serving on the local hospital board or running finances for kids soccer leagues. This gives us a deeper understanding of your community and needs. The SG Communities mission statement is “Unleashing opportunity for our residents, employees, and investors by Building Community through the development of clean, safe, and attainable housing solutions.”
