It’s safe to say that no publisher in the modern history of manufactured housing has interviewed more professionals about industry focused issues than MHProNews and MHLivingNews.
It’s equally safe to say that in the last two years, there’s been no trade publisher that has explored the issues in a clear-eyed, politically incorrect fashion, that invites others to respond, to share differing or other viewpoints, and can do so on and off the record.
We’ve begun what we will unveil now as the True State of the Manufactured Housing Industry in 2017.
This is planned as an ongoing, periodic series of issue-focused reports.
Flashback, Fast-Forward Reports
When someone ‘discovers’ how amazing manufactured homes today truly are, one of the common questions are, why isn’t the industry doing much better than it is?
That’s such a common question, that begs for answers based upon factual analysis.

To know why you are where you are, one must look back at the road travelled. The facts alone can provide the path to understanding.

The following Cup of Coffee articles will be presented for those reasons, but others too.

A Moment in Time
One of the most popular reads MHProNews for years has been “A Cup of Coffee with…” interviews.
Our method was simple, and thus, compelling. We forced no answers, they were all freely given. Questions were emailed. Those who participated took several days, sometimes weeks, to reply. They were making sure that they liked their answers.
Some asked after we re-launched the new version of our website last summer, what happened to those interviews?
You’ll see, they never went away. They were tucked away, until starting today.
Against that introduction, as part of our flashback, fast-forward look at the True State of the Manufactured Housing Industry in 2017, we present these three selected Cup of Coffee interviews. Other than a line in red that was inserted, they are as originally published.
