We’ve told you about this upcoming video. Its about ready to release. This episode of Inside MH features an array of Washington DC metro personas, as well as U.S. based MH Industry home owners and pros from border-to-border. Each says in their own words elements that need to be addressed to get us to the goal – which could yield, according to the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) CEO, Richard “Dick” Jennison, a 700% increase in business.
The affordable housing crisis, MH financing and CFPB regulations – their impact on sales, home buyers and home owners – are the focus of this video.
This new video will be live in about 24 hours on the MHLivingNews.com website.
This video will directly challenge false and misleading claims made by Doug Ryan/CFED, Seattle Times/BuzzFeed, PBS NewsHour, OZY Media or others who have tried to stop the financing reforms that would boost manufactured home owners resale values and the sales of MH industry pros.
What 500,000 annual new Manufactured Home sales means
First, no one – Dick Jennison included – is saying that this will happen overnight. Logistics alone would require that there be a ramp up period to achieve these kinds of sales levels.
Next, among the things the industry has painfully learned from the go-go 90s is that we can’t expect lenders to lend good money on poor or bad credit risks. Our MH industry’s lenders implemented safeguards too, making a repeat of the past unlikely.
What That Kind of New Home Sales Growth Could Mean to You and Your Operation
MH Communities. The estimated 400,000 vacant MHC homesites would rapidly dwindle, and the demand for new development of MHCs – or expansions of current ones where possible – would continue increase.
Retailers and selling MHCs. Imagine 700% growth over say a 3 to 4 year period of time. That could widely and dramatically boost the sales of retailers and those MHCs that sell homes. That boost would naturally flow to manufacturers, warranty, financial services, service, suppliers and associations.
Watch for the Update
Once the new video is live, we will update this post with a hot link to it. The image of Dick Jennison above will become a hot link.
What will make this video powerful is the wide cross section of people and pros, who are all saying common sense things that fit nicely together. This makes for a visually, emotionally and logically compelling case.
