SunCommunitiesCompellingSupplyDemandFundamentalsVirtuallyNoNewSupplyAddedForYearsButManufacturedHomeSalesDropQuarterlyY2D2023DataWithAnalysisPlusMHMarketsMHProNews

From the most recent Sun Communities (SUI) investor presentations (linked further below) are two of the headline statements. ‘Compelling Supply – Demand Fundamentals’ said SUI’s IR pitch with ‘Virtually No New Supply Has Been Added for Years.’ Those remarks are by a prominent Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) member with a board position (Sun Communities-SUI) saying the quiet part out loud.

It appears that whatever MHI has said in recent years about their desire to see the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA) and its enhanced preemption clause should get robust and consistent enforcement by HUD, the apparently unstated MHI agenda at MHI is in alignment with what MHI-NCC members Sun Communities (SUI), Equity LifeStyle Properties (ELS), Flagship Communities, and others in that trade group say that actually holds sway.

Who says?

Consider this summary from Bing AI (set in context in Part II, further below). Earlier in this Q&A with Bing AI, Sun Communities (SUI) and others were specifically named. Highlighting, bold, and spacing in what follows are added by MHProNews, but the text/remarks are per Bing AI.

However, there are several MHI members whose publicly stated investor or other information makes clear that enforcing federal preemption could undermine their business model ³ ⁴.

Additionally, there are no articles or press releases by the MHI on their website that mention enhanced preemption under the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act ¹.

By contrast, there are multiple articles on the MHARR website that mention enhanced preemption ² ⁴.

By contrast, both the Manufactured Home Pro News and Manufactured Home Living News websites have multiple articles that specifically mention enhanced preemption as a tool for opening up more opportunities to sell more affordable manufactured housing ⁵ ⁶”

So, by de facto allowing restrictions on new development, that dynamic yields a ‘Compelling Supply – Demand Fundamentals’ with ‘Virtually No New Supply Has Been Added for Years.’ In fact, per the known data, there are perhaps thousands of fewer manufactured home communities in existence nationally in 2023 than there were in 2000 (see that linked further below in the Q&A in Part II). All that follows can be framed with those insights and others that follow in mind.

The following (Part I) is Sun’s official press release with investor information for their quarterly and year to date (Y2D) information. It will reflect Sun’s admission that their manufactured home sales are down, among other financial insights.

Part II is additional information with more MHProNews analysis and commentary. It will provide the Sun IR presentation items referenced in the headline and above. It will also provided the full and wide-ranging context for the Bing AI Q&A by MHProNews. In our expert view, it could be one of the most important Q&A’s using Bing AI software to date from the perspective of thousands in the manufactured home industry pros and potentially millions of souls who want access to more affordable housing.

Part III is our Daily Business News on MHProNews macro-markets and manufactured housing connected equities updates.

Notice: unpacking the Sun Communities (SUI) report below should not be construed as an MHProNews endorsement or plug for that investment. Indeed, as a pull quote from Sun’s CEO Gary Shiffman herein will reflect, the case can be made that Sun has acknowledged that it could be perusing a business strategy that could be more rewarding to investors. That alternative Shiffman mentioned may also be less risky in terms of liability, could be better for their residents, and would offer a more genuine and scalable ‘solution’ to the U.S. affordable housing crisis. More on that in Part II.

Southfield, Michigan, October 25, 2023 – Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE: SUI) (the “Company” or “SUI”), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates, or has an interest in, manufactured housing (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) communities and marinas (collectively, the “properties”), today reported its third quarter results for 2023.

Financial Results for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, net income attributable to common shareholders was $163.1 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $162.6 million, or $1.32 per diluted share for the same period in 2022.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income attributable to common shareholders was $222.8 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $237.3 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $2.57 per common share and dilutive convertible securities (“Share”) and $5.76 per Share, respectively.
Same Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) increased by 6.7% and 6.6% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2022.

“In the third quarter, we again delivered strong performance in our core real property portfolio, with Same Property NOI growth and Core FFO exceeding our expectations,” said Gary A. Shiffman, Chairman, President and CEO. “This strength was exhibited across Manufactured Housing, RV and Marinas, all of which demonstrate the continued favorable backdrop of high demand and limited supply. Furthermore, we are positioned for ongoing organic growth with 2024 expected rental rate increases of approximately 5.4% for MH, 6.5% for RV, and 5.6% for Marina in North America and 7.1% for UK.” He continued, “Our current objectives include implementing select changes to help our best-in-class portfolio deliver the FFO per share growth Sun shareholders historically have enjoyed. These changes include selective capital recycling opportunities and using the proceeds to de-lever. With the strength of our core business, which has a positive track record throughout economic cycles, and our focus on our durable cash flow business, we remain confident in our ability to create shareholder value.”

INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company:

Expanded its existing communities by nearly 170 sites.
Delivered over 70 sites at one ground-up development property.

BALANCE SHEET, CAPITAL MARKETS ACTIVITY AND OTHER ITEMS

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $7.7 billion in debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.1% and a weighted average maturity of 6.8 years. At September 30, 2023, the Company’s net debt to trailing twelve-month Recurring EBITDA ratio was 6.1 times.

During the quarter, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge variable rate borrowings of $125.0 million in aggregate under its senior credit facility. The interest rate swaps lock in a weighted average SOFR rate of 4.771%, and inclusive of spread, an all-in rate of 5.681% through the maturity date of April 7, 2026.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company:

Entered into an interest rate swap contract to hedge variable rate borrowings of $25.0 million under its senior credit facility. The interest rate swap lock in a weighted average SOFR rate of 4.684%, and inclusive of spread, an all-in rate of 5.594% through the term loan maturity date of April 7, 2026.
Terminated one SOFR interest rate swap hedging variable rate borrowings of $50.0 million under its senior credit facility and received a cash settlement payment of $6.0 million. The net accumulated gain is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be amortized as a reduction to Interest expense over the term of the hedged transaction.
Entered into a new mortgage term loan for $252.8 million that matures in November 2030 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.49%. The proceeds were used to repay $117.8 million of mortgage term loans that mature in 2023 and pay down amounts drawn under the Company’s senior credit facility.

The proceeds were used to pay down amounts drawn under the Company’s senior credit facility.

UK Notes Receivable from Real Estate Operators

From time to time, the Company extends loans to third party real estate developers and operators to facilitate the Company’s potential acquisition and development pipeline. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a $361.1 million note receivable due from Royale Holdings Group HoldCo Limited, a real estate development owner / operator in the UK, and certain other parties (the “Note”). As of the same date, the borrowings under the Note bear interest at a weighted average rate of 12.4%. The Note is not related to the Company’s manufactured housing portfolio in the UK that operates under the Park Holidays brand.

Since inception, the Company has elected to measure the Note at fair value, using pricing models with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The Company has also periodically engaged third party valuation specialists to appraise the collateral in order to assess the fair value of the Note.

The Note is collateralized by a first-priority security interest in three real estate properties and three MH manufacturers in the UK. The real estate collateral consists of MH development properties that comprised a significant majority of the total appraised value of all collateral securing the Note at September 30, 2023.

The Note matured on July 31, 2023, and remained due at September 30, 2023. On September 29, 2023, the Company appointed receivers over the real estate collateral and is assessing courses of action with respect to the other collateral.

The Company expects the receivers to start to market the real estate collateral for sale during the fourth quarter of 2023. Upon completion of the marketing process, the Company may elect to credit bid certain amounts due under the Note for the real estate collateral. If that were to occur and no third-party bid is received that exceeds the Company’s credit bid, the Company may elect to receive the real estate collateral in satisfaction of related amounts due under the Note. If a third-party bid is received that exceeds the Company’s bid, the Company will receive the cash proceeds of that bid up to the outstanding loan amount including interest, fees, and penalties, as applicable.

UK Contemplated Asset Sale

As previously disclosed, the Company had agreed to sell an operating MH community in the UK, Sandy Bay, in February 2023, which was expected to close in the third quarter. While the sale contract is no longer in effect, the asset remained classified as held for sale at September 30, 2023.

2023 GUIDANCE UPDATE

The Company is updating full-year 2023 and establishing fourth quarter 2023 guidance for diluted EPS and Core FFO per Share as follows:

Fourth Quarter

Full-Year Ending December 31, 2023 Ending

Reconciliation of Diluted EPS to Core FFO per Share Prior FY Guidance Revised FY Range December 31, 2023

Other adjustments consist primarily of deferred taxes, changes in remeasurement (gains) / losses, contingent legal and insurance gains and other items presented in the table that reconciles Net income attributable to SUI common shareholders to Core FFO on page 6.
The Company’s updated guidance translates forecasted results from operations in the UK using the relevant exchange rate in effect provided in the 2023 Guidance Assumptions table presented below. The impact of fluctuations in Canadian and Australian foreign currency rates on revised and initial guidance are not material.

The $7.09 per Share midpoint of the revised full-year guidance range is 1.0% lower than the prior range provided in July, primarily reflecting higher interest expense related to the UK Note remaining outstanding and lower expected transient RV revenues.

For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, the Company’s guidance ranges assume Total Same Property NOI growth of 4.4% – 5.9%. The midpoints of Same Property NOI growth for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023 are 5.1% for Manufactured Housing, 3.6% for RV and 6.2% for Marina.

The assumptions underlying the Company’s revised 2023 full-year guidance are as follows:

Footnotes to 2023 Guidance Assumptions

(a)	FFO from home sales in North America is net of home selling expenses and includes the gross profit from new and certain pre-owned home sales. Gross profit from pre-owned home sales of depreciated homes is excluded.
(b)	Interest income recognized from the UK Note during the first nine months ended September 30, 2023, totaled $27.9 million, or $0.22 per Share. No interest income from the UK Note is included in the Company’s fourth quarter guidance. The following table summarizes the interest income contribution inclusive of fourth quarter guidance:

(c)	For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Brokerage commissions and other, net includes recognition of $12.9 million of business interruption proceeds, which nets against accrued ‘Loss of earnings – catastrophic event-related charges, net’ in the Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to SUI Common Shareholders to Core FFO table.
(d)	UK Real Property NOI is included in the Total Real Property NOI forecast and the properties are excluded from the 2023 Same Property pool.
(e)	The amounts in the table reflect constant currency, as currency figures included within the 2022 actual amounts have been translated at the assumed exchange rate used for 2023 guidance.
(f)	Total Same Property results net $101.1 million of utility revenue for 2022 actual results and $109.7 million for 2023 guidance against the related utility expense in property operating expenses.
(g)	2022 actual results exclude $1.3 million of expenses incurred at recently acquired properties to bring them up to the Company’s standards. The improvements included items such as tree trimming and painting costs that do not meet the Company’s capitalization policy.

Definitions and Notes

Capital Expenditures and Investment Activity – The Company classifies its investments in properties into the following categories:

Recurring Capital Expenditures – Property recurring capital expenditures are necessary to maintain asset quality, including purchasing and replacing items used to operate the communities and marinas. Recurring capital expenditures at the Company’s MH and RV properties include major road, driveway and pool improvements; clubhouse renovations; adding or replacing streetlights; playground equipment; signage; maintenance facilities; manager housing and property vehicles. Recurring capital expenditures at the Company’s marinas include dredging, dock repairs and improvements, and equipment maintenance and upgrades. The minimum capitalized amount is five hundred dollars.
Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures – The following investment and reinvestment activities are non-recurring in nature:
Lot Modifications – Lot modification capital expenditures are incurred to modify the foundational structures required to set a new home after a previous home has been removed. These expenditures are necessary to create a revenue stream from a new site renter and often improve the quality of the community. Other lot modification expenditures include land improvements added to annual RV sites to aid in the conversion of transient RV guests to annual contracts. See page 13 for move-out rates.
Growth Projects – Growth projects consist of revenue-generating or expense-reducing activities at the properties. These include, but are not limited to, utility efficiency and renewable energy projects, site, slip or amenity upgrades, such as the addition of a garage, shed or boat lift, and other special capital projects that substantiate an incremental rental increase.
Rebranding – Rebranding includes new signage at the Company’s RV communities and costs of building an RV mobile application and updated website.
Acquisitions – Total acquisition investments represent the purchase price paid for operating properties and land parcels for future ground-up development and expansions activities (detailed for the current calendar year on page 14), plus any capital improvements identified during due diligence needed to bring acquired properties up to the Company’s operating standards.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measures

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry use non-GAAP supplemental performance measures, including net operating income (“NOI”), earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and funds from operations (“FFO”) to assess REITs. The Company believes that NOI, EBITDA and FFO are appropriate measures given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts. Additionally, NOI, EBITDA and FFO are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples, yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value.

NOI provides a measure of rental operations that does not factor in depreciation, amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses.

EBITDA provides a further measure to evaluate ability to incur and service debt; EBITDA also provides further measures to evaluate the Company’s ability to fund dividends and other cash needs.

FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

◦ Total Portfolio NOI – The Company calculates NOI by subtracting property operating expenses and real estate taxes from operating property revenues. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. The Company uses NOI as a key measure when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and / or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs. Therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of the properties of the Company rather than of the Company overall. The Company believes that NOI provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluation of properties performance and growth over time.

The Company believes that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to NOI. NOI should not be considered to be an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Because of the inclusion of items such as interest, depreciation and amortization, the use of GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure is limited as these items may not accurately reflect the actual change in market value of a property, in the case of depreciation and in the case of interest, may not necessarily be linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset, as it is often incurred at a parent company level and not at a property level.

◦ Same Property NOI – This is a key management tool used when evaluating performance and growth of the Company’s Same Property portfolio. The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the Same property portfolio from one period to the next. Same Property NOI does not include the revenues and expenses related to home sales, service, retail, dining and entertainment activities at the properties.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA“)

◦ EBITDAre – NAREIT refers to EBITDA as “EBITDAre” and calculates it as GAAP net income (loss), plus interest expense, plus income tax expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus or minus losses or gains on the disposition of depreciated property (including losses or gains on change of control), plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in nonconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of nonconsolidated affiliates. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its ability to incur and service debt, fund dividends and other cash needs and cover fixed costs. Investors utilize EBITDAre as a supplemental measure to evaluate and compare investment quality and enterprise value of REITs. Investors utilize EBITDAre as a supplemental measure to evaluate and compare investment quality and enterprise value of REITs.

◦ Recurring EBITDA – The Company also uses EBITDAre excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to measurement of the Company’s performance on a basis that is independent of capital structure (“Recurring EBITDA”). The Company believes that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to EBITDAre. EBITDAre is not intended to be used as a measure of the Company’s cash generated by operations or its dividend-paying capacity, and should therefore not replace GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as measures of liquidity.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”)

◦ FFO – NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, real estate related impairments, and after adjustments for nonconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance. By excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, real estate related impairment and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from GAAP net income (loss). Management believes the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.

◦ Core FFO – In addition to FFO, the Company uses FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of the Company’s core business (“Core FFO”). The Company believes that Core FFO provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluations of period-over-period results.

The Company believes that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to FFO. The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not replace GAAP net income (loss) as a financial performance measure or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity. Because FFO excludes significant economic components of GAAP net income (loss) including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) and not as an alternative to it. Furthermore, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REIT’s ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO is calculated in accordance with the Company’s interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the NAREIT definition differently.

Part II – Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief

There are four broad ways that will be mentioned here for approaching Sun Communities (SUI), without taking a scalpel to dissect their financials, quarterly, and year to date reporting.

One is to look at several 2023 related reports that frames Sun and their leadership. That will be done below.

Two, is to lift the hood some of Sun’s key remarks from their investor relations report. From page 10 of their IR pitch deck are these remarks.

COMPELLING SUPPLY-DEMAND FUNDAMENTALS
Virtually no new supply has been added for years

The implications of the above will be a focus for much of what follows.

Three, is related to Two, because of the Q&A with Bing AI that will follow, which was teed up in the preface at the top. It will reveal why Sun investors, stakeholders, plaintiffs’ attorneys, and public officials ought to wonder why Sun leaders are risking more potential litigation?

Four, there are what at-a-glance ought to be another set of business model/performance metrics – question marks.

For example.

If Sun had 55,000 applications to live in a Sun Communities in 2022, why aren’t they at 100 percent capacity for most of their communities? When they have relatively modest vacancy rates, what happens to the majority of those applications? What is the ratio of new or pre0wned sales and other move-ins?
Given the favorable rental comparisons from page 21 of their pitch deck, why aren’t they at 100 percent capacity with a waiting list?

SunCommunitiesPg21IRpitchSept2023-10-27_16-53-51-RentalComparisonOnlyNotPurchaseWhy-ManufacturedHomeProNewsMHProNews — This is indeed a compelling comparison. According to Sun’s 9.2023 Investor Relations presentation, the company had 55,000 applications to live in a Sun Community.
This claim merits more data and explanations. Why?
Because Sun reports over 97 percent occupancy. They have 100,000 total sites. One might think that with that many applicants, they ought to have sold out their inventory, and filled every vacant unit and site. They ought to have a long waiting list.

Given the remarks by Gary Shiffman below, why are they so focused on keeping new development limited when Shiffman himself said that developing can be more profitable?

GarySchiffmanPhotoSunCommunitiesLogoQuoteDevelopNewsSitesForLessThanBuyAtCurrentCapRates — “Drew, it’s Gary. There certainly is and it’s certainly the West Coast, certainly right up to the Northwest is area of concentration where we feel, we can actually develop communities to a better return for our shareholders than buying them at the cap rates that they’re trade at currently.” From a Seeking Alpha earnings call transcript. See that in full context at this link here: https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/sun-communities-3rd-quarter-new-acquisitions-sales-detail-new-sites-inside-info-plus-manufactured-home-investing-stock-updates/

To frame this Q&A with Bing AI, one must consider the validity of their business thesis. True, limiting numbers of manufactured home communities and low (if not negative) total national land-lease communities may seem to yield short term pressures for higher site fees and compressed cap rates. But the remarks by Shiffman above, “we can actually develop communities to a better return for our shareholders than buying them at the cap rates that they’re trading at currently” ought to beg a host of questions. That being so, why isn’t that at the heart of their business strategy? And what impact does their current course at Sun, which is also similar to the one taken by Equity LifeStyle Properties (ELS) or Flagship Communities and several others, have on the manufactured housing industry as a whole, or the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) where Sun holds an MHI board of directors’ seat?

The Big Picture and Sun Communities Place in It

> “Confirm or clarify the following, please. Per information published by Manufactured Home Pro News, statements FEMA and George McCarthy with the Lincoln Institute, and other data, there may be thousands of fewer land lease manufactured home communities nationally in 2023 than in 2000, correct?”

Based on the information available, it appears that there may be fewer land lease manufactured home communities in 2023 than in 2000. According to George McCarthy, President and CEO of the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy, there are approximately 50,393 land lease manufactured home communities in the United States ¹. This number is lower than the number of communities in 2000. However, I could not find any information about the exact number of communities in 2000.

I also found an article on Manufactured Home Pro News that corrects a factual error in an earlier article that cited George McCarthy. The corrected statement reads: “parks containing about a fifth of mobile home lots nationwide have been purchased by institutional investors over the past eight years” ². This statement does not directly relate to the number of land lease manufactured home communities in the United States.

> “The estimated number of manufactured home communities indicated that there were about 55,000 manufactured home communities circa 2000. So, if there are about 50,393 land lease communities now, then that would indicate a declining number, correct? Also, while several dozen new manufactured home communities have been developed nationally, per known information, the number of new communities opening are apparently far fewer than those being sold and closed for redevelopment or other purposes. Kindly confirm or clarify those points, please.”

You are correct that the estimated number of manufactured home communities in 2000 was around 55,000 ¹. According to George McCarthy, President and CEO of the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy, there are approximately 50,393 land lease manufactured home communities in the United States ². This number is lower than the number of communities in 2000, indicating a decline in the number of land lease manufactured home communities.

Regarding your second point, I could not find any information on the exact number of new manufactured home communities opening nationally. However, I found an article on Manufactured Home Pro News that states that “parks containing about a fifth of mobile home lots nationwide have been purchased by institutional investors over the past eight years” ³. This suggests that there may be a trend of institutional investors buying up existing communities rather than developing new ones.

> “Largely agree, thanks.

Yes, that is correct. According to a report by JLL, the manufactured housing industry has experienced consolidation of single-asset and smaller portfolios, driving valuations upward ¹.

And that enforcing the enhanced preemption provision of the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA) could be used to overcome those zoning and placement challenges if it were routinely and vigorously enforced by HUD, correct?”

Yes, that is correct. According to a report by Manufactured Home Pro News, zoning and financing limitations have restricted the growth of the mainstream manufactured housing market and have limited the housing choices of moderate and lower-income Americans ¹. The report also states that enforcing the enhanced preemption provision of the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA) could be used to overcome those zoning and placement challenges if it were routinely and vigorously enforced by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ² ³ ⁴.

Yes, that is correct.

On the other hand, the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) has repeatedly called for enhanced preemption under the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA) to be vigorously enforced by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ² ³. The MHIA’s enhanced preemption provision is designed to prevent state and local governments from imposing discriminatory or exclusionary zoning laws on manufactured housing ³.

While these two views may seem at odds, it is important to note that the MHI’s call for enhanced preemption is aimed at removing regulatory barriers to the growth of the manufactured housing industry.

Transparency – and Takeaways

The above is about as transparent as reporting and analysis can get, with respect to the interaction with Bing AI on the topics shown.

While some of it may be less than exciting reading for some, that transparency could in time prove to be quite significant to Sun and others that are MHI members and who could face more legal issues than they already do.

With the above context in mind, here are some compelling pull quotes from Bing AI.

One, note that MHProNews inquiries that asked for confirmation of the information were routinely responded to with “Yes, that is correct” or “accurate.” That noted, let’s look at some pull quotes.

BingAI=ImagesMHProNews “Based on the information available, it is possible that the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) has failed to use litigation to pursue the enhanced preemption enforcement provision because several major brands that hold board positions on the MHI board of directors have business models that benefit from the status quo. As I mentioned earlier, some manufactured home community operators such as Equity LifeStyle Properties (ELS), Sun Communities, Flagship Communities, Clayton Homes, Skyline Champion, and Cavco Industries have stated that their business model benefits from a lack of new developments of manufactured home communities ¹ ² ³.

However, I could not find any official statement from the MHI regarding this matter.”

“Yes, that is correct. According to a report on Manufactured Home Living News, Samuel “Sam” Strommen, an Associate Attorney with Goodsell Oviatt Law Firm in Rapid City, South Dakota, authored a research paper entitled “The Monopolization of the American Manufactured Home Industry and the Formation of REITs: a Rube Goldberg Machine of Human Suffering” ¹. In his paper, Strommen argues that there is a case for “felony” market manipulation and possible RICO concerns involving the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and some key member companies ¹.”

“Yes, that is correct. According to a report on Manufactured Home Pro News, Andy Gedo at ManageAmerica, a Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) member, made the statement that “Clayton’s finance capability is a barrier to entry (what you [MHProNews/MHLivingNews] like to call “a moat”) that limits competition. Barriers to entry can sometimes be exploited through unfair competition to gain monopoly power in a market” during an online debate ¹.”

“Yes, it is possible that not only Equity LifeStyle Properties, Sun Communities, and Flagship Communities but also Clayton Homes, Skyline Champion, and Cavco Industries see it as an advantage for them to not have “enhanced preemption” mentioned in the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) website because each sees low production as a barrier of entry, persistence, or exit. This could be seen as an application of what Andy Gedo, Kevin Clayton, and Warren Buffett have discussed about the moat strategy ¹ ² ³.

However, I could not find any official statement from the MHI regarding this matter.”

It would be surprising if MHI made an official statement that admits to collusion with key members of the association that aim to “limit competition” “through unfair competition to gain monopoly power” in the market. Nor is there a need for a prosecutor to or plaintiffs attorney to have an effect admission of guilt in order to litigate the matter. What is needed is sufficient evidence to bring a cause of action that could be based on evidence and the inferred intentions of the accused based on behavior.

To illustrate, consider this exchange.

> “Bing, I know you aren’t an attorney. But you can do legal research, correct? Is it accurate to say that a prosecutor or plaintiffs’ attorney can infer intention of a defendant based on the evidence of the defendant’s behavior?”

Yes, I can help with legal research. However, please note that I am not a licensed attorney and my responses are not a substitute for legal advice.

Regarding your question, it is possible for a prosecutor or plaintiff’s attorney to infer the intention of a defendant based on the evidence of the defendant’s behavior. However, it is important to note that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution or plaintiff to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had the intent to commit the crime in question ¹.

In order to prove intent, prosecutors may use circumstantial evidence such as behavior and character traits ¹ ². However, character evidence is generally not admissible to prove that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character or trait ³.

What the above has accomplished is the outline of for a possible case of collusion between various parties that are routinely members of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and/or MHI linked state association affiliates. That strikes near the heart of what Samuel Strommen alleged in his well footnoted legal thesis that said that “felony” monopolization is underway in manufactured housing that has apparently been operating for several years (likely well over a decade). Consider this pull quote from the late Sam Zell, chairman of Equity LifeStyle Properties (ELS).

An oligopoly can be a type of monopolization, as the FTC website reference in the image above reflects.

Indeed, there are at least two known class action lawsuits against MHI members and others that include Sun Communities.

ManufacturedHousingProductionInfographic1960to21stCenturyIncludingBerkshireHathawayClaytonHomesEraJamesJimSchmitzJrSamuelSamStrommenManufacturedHomeProNewsMHProNewsSkylineChampLogo — Ironically, Skyline Champion’s own investor pitch-deck provides ample evidence for manufactured housing industry underperformance. That same pitch-deck further provides evidence that Mergers and Acquisitions are a key part of their business model. What is there in such revelations that Birch and Williams miss?

Fines by public officials or even large judgments in cases like those working their way through the legal process may not be sufficient to deter this behavior. There is an argument to be made that Sun and/or others may need to face criminal charges in order to stop this evidence-supported “machine of human suffering” Strommen and residents have described.

It is arguably also true, as Strommen noted, that MHI leaders need to be held accountable for their role is this apparent plot.

The preface of this report opened with the following. That Sun’s claims of a ‘Compelling Supply – Demand Fundamentals’ stated in SUI’s IR pitch with ‘Virtually No New Supply Has Been Added for Years: are “remarks are by a prominent Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) member with a board position (Sun Communities-SUI) saying the quiet part out loud.” Sun doesn’t stand alone, as the allegations and evidence outlined and linked herein make clear.

An easy case? Not necessarily. But there seems to be plenty of evidence and a public that appears to be is in the mood to hold the manipulators of society accountable.

MHProNews will continue to monitor and report as deemed warranted. Stay tuned to what Bing AI indicates is the apparently the only MHVille professional trade media source that holds the powers that be in manufactured housing to account. Quoting Bing AI: …some Manufactured Housing Institute linked trade media also routinely fail to mention the enhanced preemption provision of the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 ¹. By contrast, both the Manufactured Home Pro News and Manufactured Home Living News websites have multiple articles that specifically mention enhanced preemption as a tool for opening up more opportunities to sell more affordable manufactured housing ⁵ ⁶” ##

He is now routinely said by others to be an impressive and often thoughtful teen who is approaching adulthood.**
