Get a Taste of Feel Good Tech from New Home Designs 2020 was a year that none of us could have ever expected to bring such drastic changes to our lifestyles. As we finally see 2020 in our rear view mirrors (thankfully!) we can reflect on what we learned, and how this will change the way we build and live in our homes for the Suzanne Felber, The Lifestylist years to come. Consumers who never had any interest in cooking are suddenly scouring the web for sourdough recipes, and putting up their culinary creations on Pinterest. We are now painfully aware of the air that we breathe and our surroundings, and how they can affect the health and well being of ourselves and our loved ones. And most of all, we are yearning for that little (or big) space that we can control and call our own. Fortunately, the technology and devices that have been created in the last few years have dropped drastically in price, and now you can go to your favorite home improvement store and buy easy to install products that make our existing dwellings into smart homes. Companies that are wise enough to search out the leaders in this new technology and incorporate them into our homes will have a huge advantage when trying to attract the new buyers that are intrigued about factory built homes and how they can fit into their lifestyles. There are very exciting times in front of us. The smart home industry is no longer just for early adopters, it’s mainstream now and we’re seeing less experimentation à la “gee whiz can we do this?” and
more real-use cases like automated lighting and voice controlled door locks. “The real value in smart home automation is in time savings from taking over repetitive human tasks and from smart things talking to other smart things without any human involvement such as a cook surface telling a hood vent to turn on,” Dream Kitchen Builders President Scott Koehler said. “This is also known as the Internet of things or IoT.” n
Together, we build the confidence that sells homes.

Tech Firm Survey Indicates Virtual Interaction Likely to Stay The team at ClickMeeting, the software-free, video conferencing and webinar solution, has researched the state of the nation’s psyche as we continue to work and learn remotely.

During the pandemic there has been a huge surge in online events taking place with a whopping 375% increase in online events each week and a 560% increase in online audience sizes since the start of the
safe return to the traditional workplace. The study reveals that even when a vaccine is available remote work will have earned a permanent place in the employment mix. Nearly half of respondents view the hybrid work model as an ideal working environment and one that increases productivity and trust among employees, whereas only 16% of respondents prefer a full office environment.
• The hybrid workforce (working partly at home, partly at the office) is an ideal model for 46% of the respondents while 33% vote for pure remote work, and 16% prefer an office environment. • As much as 69% of people who took part in the survey expect compensation for using their personal internet, furniture, or equipment and 32% think that they should receive a higher salary for working at home.

About 42% of those polled believe schools still need to invest in the right equipment to be ready for teaching online and 56% believe a combination of traditional and online classes is the best for students in the current climate. More than 80% of U.S. residents are more than happy to take a test or exam online, showing that the nation is comfortable to embrace online learning.

This distinction is the result of Newsweek’s assessment of 2,500 FDIC-insured banks, measuring 55 different factors ranging from banking accounts and customer service, to financial reports from the FDIC. “We are honored by this recognition, which emphasizes First Federal’s commitment to being a financially sound, community bank,” FFB President and CEO John Medina said. “Because we are a mutual savings bank, Newsweek acknowledged our ability to be more responsive to local customer needs. This accolade demonstrates that even through challenging times we remain committed to our purpose of providing stability to our customers, employees, and communities.” Recognizing the pandemic has altered the way individuals function on a daily basis, including the way

FINANCE Find a Professional in Finance to Help with Fannie, Freddie, CMBS MidCap understands the unique aspects of financing manufactured housing communities. The industry is consolidating, terms are favorable, and demand for affordable housing is at an all time high. And having the right partners in business is critical. “We try to make it easy by talking through different scenarios with clients and future clients,” MidCap Managing Partner Taylor W. Grace said. “We can simplify the various programs and find the best option for the community owner.” Refinance Existing Debt In today’s rate environment, if you haven’t at least looked at refinancing your existing debt, you could be missing out on large savings. Maybe you have infilled homes to decrease vacancy, converted park owned homes to tenant owned homes, or upgraded your park and you now qualify for financing programs other than your
local bank. The savings achieved by refinancing from traditional bank debt to Fannie/Freddie or CMBS can put more money in your pocket and allow you to grow more quickly. Plus, moving to non-recourse debt makes you more financeable going forward. Purchase Communities The secret is out…MHC investing is solid. Sometimes it seems like finding a community to buy is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Start the conversation today so that you are ready when “mom and pop” finally agree to sell that 100-space, city sewer, city water community that you have been chasing. Most investors are not one and done. Be ready to efficiently grow your portfolio. Let MidCap put its industry-leading contacts to work and help you find a great deal! n

In making this change, Lument unifies its legacy brands — Hunt Real Estate Capital, Lancaster Pollard, and RED Capital Group — under a single banner. “We chose Lument, with its associations with light and energy, to emphasize that our combined company has the expertise, products, resources, and most importantly, the drive and determination to help guide our clients successfully, even during these uncertain times,” Lument CEO James Flynn said. He said the rebranding is an important milestone ref lecting the progress Lument has made restructuring its organization, streamlining processes, and investing in new technology. Lument’s goal is to take the best practices from all three legacy companies and elevate them even further. “We believe that Lument has something unique to offer,” said
Today. Tomorrow. Together.
Terry Suzuki is the president and CEO of ORIX Corporation USA, which merged with Hunt in April. “The compelling factor that led us to bring these companies together was their shared commitment to building relationships and driving their clients’ success. As Lument, we can draw on the strength of our combined platforms and the depth of ORIX’s balance sheet to make that personal service more powerful than ever.” Lument’s results so far this year indicate that the market appreciates these advantages. Despite obstacles posed by the pandemic, Lument’s portfolio has continued to grow. “A critical reason for our success is the quality of our people,” Flynn said. “Their knowledge, creativity, and extraordinary commitment have been essential to our ability to perform strongly in the midst of the pandemic even as we were integrating our company.” n

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Newport Pacific Names Ruben Garcia Corporate Vice President Ruben Garcia has been announced as vice president of the Newport Pacific Companies. A recognized leader in mobile home park communities, Garcia brings more than 20 years of experience to the position. When asked what he perceived his job as vice president to entail, Garcia said he believed his job is to understand the strengths of every individual working for NPC and to figure out the most productive and efficient ways to maximize those strengths to take the 40-year old company into its next 40 years. He said his biggest challenge in his position is getting his arms around the machine that is Newport Pacific, and understanding where efficiencies can be recognized in order to free up employee time for pressing activities, such as resident relations. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created significant challenges with resident relations, just from the standpoint of accessibility. Garcia empathizes with so many residents who have lost jobs, are navigating distance learning with their children, and have been confined in their homes under a mountain of worry.
“It is important that NPC makes every effort to check in with their people and be accessible, even if it means learning Zoom, to talk through any assistance we have to offer, or to discuss plans for getting rent paid. “We want to make sure that residents truly understand that NPC employees are here to help,” he said. The continuing affordable housing crisis has Garcia focused on the industry’s mission and what NPC has to offer. “Manufactured housing is a significant part of the solution, whether we are talking about leasing or owning a manufactured home,” Garcia said. Garcia said he enjoys working closely with park ownership groups, through NPCs subsidiary companies of Cirus and Modular Lifestyles, to not only place beautiful homes that anyone would be proud to own, but also to bring value and curb appeal to the property itself. Garcia said he is up for the challenge of helping people understand what manufactured homes can truly be and is working to change the way everyone from individuals to city councils view manufactured housing communities. “They are very much the housing solution of now and the future,” he said. n

This off-white, wood grain texture has a unique look that really accentuates each room. “It’s one of the most beautiful mobile homes I have seen in quite awhile,” Shipley said.

new retailers and parks in markets across the south that will be carrying our product.” Shipley emphasized that affordable housing is making a comeback and that Legacy Housing offers the tools to help any mobile home entrepreneur succeed. “Legacy’s tiny home product line, huge f loorplan selection, and our easy in-house finance programs are really making waves, and helping to increase success stories out of independent small businesses all across America,” Shipley said. “Legacy Housing is unique with our vertically-integrated capabilities.

We are truly a partner, from start to finish.” With three factories in Texas and Georgia, visit Legacy online at www.legacyhousingUSA.com, contact the sales team at (817) 632-3303, or visit their new LinkedIn page for small businesses at https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ legacy-housing-sales. n

BUILDER / RETAILER Clayton Establishes HouseSmart Construction, New Trucking Component Clayton Homes, the retail division of Clayton off-site built homes, announces its new HouseSmart Construction™ company. During a time when affordable homeownership has had increasing demand, HouseSmart Construction was formed in response to the general increase of off-site built home purchases and the need to address the complexities of the steps of site construction completed during the off-site home building process. HouseSmart Construction aims to improve the quality and accountability of Clayton Built® homes and the Clayton customer experience by integrating the delivery, installation and site construction steps more seamlessly into the home buying journey. Led by Chuck Morgan, recently named vice president of HouseSmart Construction, the new company initiative kicks off with the acquisition of RCB Trucking of Sparta, Tenn. The RCB team will be welcomed to the Clayton Homes family as new team members, and they will benefit from a consistent flow of future home projects, new equipment and, improved team member experience. “We’ve heard the need for a better solution from many of our retail partners as they seek to overcome challenges of keeping up with the growing demands and complexities of site construction in our manufactured housing industry,” said VP of HouseSmart Construction Chuck Morgan. “Clayton Homes plans to grow its HouseSmart Construction footprint nationally in the coming years.” The company will be a new service option for Clayton Homes stores and valued independent retail partners to provide for their home buyers. HouseSmart Construction is not intended to replace the relationships home centers have with local contractors, but rather to improve services, skilled labor and capacity in markets where demand is highest. “We believe this expansion of our retail division is a necessity for our team to better elevate and support our industry while delivering on promises to our customers,” Clayton Homes Retail President Danny Warrick said. “It will serve as a platform to partner with home centers, contractors, and Clayton home building facilities to improve off-site built home construction quality. Ultimately HouseSmart Construction will
help us serve our company purpose, which is opening doors to a better life.” In 2019, Clayton Homes launched its Welcome Home program which serves both as the final step home inspection, and a celebration for home buyers as they receive the key to their new home The goal of the Welcome Home moment is to deliver every Clayton home buyer a 100% defect-free home. As off-site built housing trends move toward more homes with permanent foundations, garages,porches, and landscaping, the need for better, high-quality site prep services has never been higher. HouseSmart Construction services will help provide value to the manufactured housing industry as it continues to expand upon its new category of off-site built housing called CrossMod™ Homes. CrossMod homes represent a blending of off-site construction efficiencies and features that are similar to those typically found in traditional site-built homes. n

SERVICE / SUPPLY Increase Security with PIR Motion Sensors directions. Most models contain multiple lenses and sub-lenses for maximum detection and range. Whether you want to enforce a teenager’s curfew, keep four-legged critters away, or deter prospective intruders, PIR motion sensors are an integral feature in any security alarm or automated solar lighting system. PIR sensors are linked directly to your security system, so you will be alerted if they detect irregularities. The PIR detects changes in temperature and radiation levels in the sensor’s field of view. If any change is detected, your PIR motion sensor will trip your lighting system as your security system receives notice of the irregularity. At the recommended 700-1300 lumens, the power of a solar security floodlight is typically limited by its battery life. However, with PIR sensors, solar security floodlights are only activated at specific times, saving battery life in the process. Learn more at Gamasonic.com. n
PIR stands for “pyroelectric or passive infrared” and these types of sensors detect movement and heat. Sometimes referred to as solar PIR units or IR sensors, the device creates a grid that is triggered by changes to infrared energy levels. Solar security systems utilize various motion sensing technologies, but PIR sensors are the most common. Though most often used for security and safety purposes, PIR motion sensors also are common in automated lighting systems where they are known to save energy by limiting electricity in unoccupied areas. They also work with automatic doors, plumbing, and ticketing machines. Why Choose a PIR Motion Sensor? PIR sensors come in various forms, most of which are small, inexpensive, and easy to install. Most PIR units in lighting systems are not physically connected to a solar panel, meaning a panel can be adjusted for maximum sunlight and still power security lights facing opposite

the mix was close to 50/50, and average new home sale price was about $76,000) Notice, these observations were made several years after the federal government mandated the term “manufactured housing” be used for this type of shelter. Still some trade terminology holdouts, but read what happened the next year. The magazine “Nouveau”, which held itself as “ The Magazine of Manufactured Home Living”, arrived on the MH scene during 1981 and sold for $2.50. It was distributed via independent home retailers. The publishers listed 29 manufacturers and provided floor plans. Here are a few of the firms, gone but not forgotten: Affordable Luxury Homes, Chief, Cardinal, DeRose, Fuqua, Kaufamn & Broad, LeTek, Majestic & Taylor. Besides a full page ad showing entertainer Art Linkletter endorsing Golden West Homes, this issue concluded with a color feature on a large home in California owned by Norma Zimmer, the Champagne Lady of The Lawrence Welk Show.
In 1988, the Institute of Real Estate Management’s magazine “Journal of Property Management” featured a piece entitled Managing the Manufactured Housing Community – the first article I penned for publication. It also was the first professional property management how-to piece IREM ever showcased, describing our unique, income-producing property type. Probably the most eclectic of all MH-related pubs was the quarterly “Lost Highways” title, specifically the Spring 1994 – Winter 1995 edition turned out through the combined effort of Todd and Kristin Kimmell.
Best Description? It’s a showcase of antique “trailers’” and mobile homes, historic mobile home parks, accompanied by very interesting tales of the subject’s heyday. The magazine also sponsored RV rallies in the Midwest and Florida. In June 1998, “Smithsonian” magazine ran a lengthy piece on how “Housing Trailers Have Come a Long Way, Baby!” After decrying historic manufactured housing as being “ham cans” and “horse trailers”, the writer, Chiori

Santiago, gets serious and describes life at Trailer Estates in Bradenton, Fla., Tahitian Terrace in Santa Monica, Calif., and Shady Dell in Bisbee, Ariz. She concludes her very descriptive, and generally positive, article with the following observation. “Mobile homes may exist on the periphery of society’s vision, they may be the butt of jokes, but they typify the way America likes to dream of itself. They offer the promise of suburbia for those who can’t afford to move from the city, the luxury of a resort for folks on a Levittown budget. Ordered in neighborly units, in happy homogeneity, they are pioneer wagons circled against danger, and yet they encourage our desire to thrust forward into the unknown.” And no column describing 75 years of MH trade publication history would be complete without mentions of the “Manufactured Home Merchandiser” magazine, and “The Journal”. Both were near-institutions during the final decades of their respective runs. The late Herb Tieder, and still Jim Visser, both RV/MH Hall of Fame inductees, performed yeoman service to the manufactured housing industry. Frankly, I cut my wordsmithing teeth with articles in both periodicals, experimenting with an “Ask George” column that lasted several years. I like to think both publications grew in stature once I convinced them of the readers’ market to be found among the tens of thousands of land-lease communities throughout North America. Unfortunately, neither of the pubs circulate, but archives are available at the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind. Today we’re fortunate, as an industry and realty asset class, to have “MHInsider” keeping us informed and entertained with manufactured housing and land-lease community-related stories each issue. Two other periodicals to keep in mind are Kurt Kelley’s “Manufactured Housing Review”, published online, and EducateMHC’s digital distribution of “The Allen Confidential!”, a business newsletter, formerly known as the Allen Letter. You should be reading and benefiting from all three trade publications! MHV

he 1940s book “Mobile War Housing” asserted “A mobile house is defined by the War Production Board as ‘a portable shelter designed and constructed to be used as a human habitation and to be towed or transported without being dismantled or substantially changed in form’… Thousands of homes are needed for workers. They must be provided quickly; they must be built from a severely restricted supply of materials; they must be constructed by an increasingly limited number of men; and they must be supplied for the smallest possible cost.” And speaking from the 1940s to present day, the volume goes on to state “…mobile houses are popular with their occupants, maintaining morale and productivity at the same time that they alleviate increasing obstacles to
living unit construction , their importance in future war housing plans is evident.” In September 1980, “New Shelter” magazine provided the headline “Mobile homes Getting Bigger. Getting Better?” Below are some of the salient points, most of which have changed markedly during the past four decades. “Mobile homes…the most American of all housing. Originally, they were vehicles, descendants of the covered wagons.” “More than 400 factories in the U.S….producing (280,000) mobile homes in 1979.” (Today? Slightly more than 100 factories producing 94,615 MHs during year 2019) “There are about 24,000 mobile home communities in the nation.” (More like 50,000 today.) “Nearly 70 percent of all new mobiles are single-wides and start in price at about $17,000 without land.” (In 2019 »
