Michigan among highest rates of private equity-owned mobile home parks in nation, research finds
Swartz Creek Estates in Swartz Creek, Michigan, is one of many manufactured home communities that were snapped up by Wall Street investment companies who moved into the residential real-estate market after the 2008 financial crisis. (Emily Elconin) Michigan has the second-most manufactured home parks owned by private equity in the nation, according to research from the Private Equity Stakeholder Project and Manufactured Housing Action. The state has 192 parks, accounting for 50,626 home sites, owned by private equity firms and hedge funds. Only Florida has a higher share, with 269 parks made up of 64,354 home sites. Texas trails Michigan, with 148 parks with 31,265 home sites. The research shows a disproportionate share of private equity-owned manufactured housing, with firms owning more than one in every four manufactured homes in the state. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX This marks a slight increase from 2020 and 2021, when private equity firms accounted for 23% of manufactured home purchases. But it's a significant increase from 2017 through 2019, when they accounted for only 13%. Three of the ten private equity firms that own the most lots have significant holdings in Michigan. The largest private equity firm the researchers tracked – Stockbridge Capital Partners – owns 266 parks made up of 74,761 lots, more than a quarter of which are in Michigan. The seventh biggest – Havenpark Capital Partners, accounting for 63 communities with 18,512 lots – has 29% of their lots in Michigan, while the tenth largest – Alden Global Capital – has 17% of their 11,204 lots across 141 parks located in Michigan. The firm with the highest portion of its portfolio based in Michigan is Silver Creek Capital Management, with 82% of its 10,637 lots across 44 parks being located in Michigan. They are the eleventh largest firm tracked in the report. The Private Equity Stakeholder Project suggests in their report that the business model is to buy a park, increase the lot rent to increase the park's value, then sell it at a profit within a few years. They point to Swartz Creek Estates as an example. After being acquired by Havenpark in 2018, the park's lot rent was hiked and new fees were introduced, increasing the cost to residents by 40%. Due to many manufactured home owners having limited mobility, the Private Equity Stakeholder Project says many residents are effectively trapped in increasingly untenable situations. The group proposed a number of new laws to increase protections for mobile home residents. They include, among other provisions, good cause eviction requirements laying out allowable reasons for evicting a resident, requiring residents to be offered a renewal lease when the existing lease expires, and requiring homeowners to receive fair market value for their home if they are priced out or evicted and the park owner takes the title to the home. Just this year, residents of Kristana Estates in Dewitt Township were notified by owner TIR Equities that they had just four days to move out, with the park's water subsequently being shut off the day after the deadline even while some residents were still living there. 'Private equity firms are out there to line their pockets and destroy affordable housing,' said Jason Elridge, a resident of Kristana Estates. 'People need to have a community that can prosper and a place where they can feel secure. I don't think private equity can provide that.' Solve the daily Crossword

Summerside gives preliminary approval to 17-lot mini home subdivision
A new 17-lot subdivision for manufactured homes is moving forward in Summerside. During a special meeting Wednesday, city council gave preliminary approval to Traveller's Rest Mini Homes Ltd. for the development. The subdivision will be located between Cardinal Street and the east-west housing corridor that's currently under construction. Once it's completed, that corridor will connect Water Street East with Ryan Street in the city's north end. Summerside Mayor Dan Kutcher said the project will help diversify housing options in the city as the population continues to grow and the need increases for more housing — in particular, affordable units. "Not everyone can afford a single-family home, and we don't want just people living in single-family homes or in apartment buildings. You need to have a nice mix of housing across the community, whether that's duplexes, triplexes, fours, manufactured homes, mini homes," Kutcher told CBC News. "This is part of that. So this is good. It fits within the changes that we made to our official plan. It fits our goals as a city to create more forms of housing for more people." As part of the application, the developer is asking the city to cover the $15,500 cost of extending Cardinal Street from its current stub to the eastern boundary of the proposed subdivision. The city will pay that amount upon final subdivision approval. "Cardinal is a stub street. So generally, where there is a stub street, that means [that] at some point in time within the wider roadmap for the city, that stub will connect to another road," Kutcher said. "The issue is there's a short point of time where the one street starts and another begins. So the way it often happens here at the city, we help pay for some of that road work. All of the rest of the road work, the water and sewer and stuff, is already done. So it was a minor cost to bring the streets together." Preliminary approval is subject to several conditions. The developer must meet all municipal servicing requirements, enter into a subdivision construction agreement with the city, and satisfy the city's parkland dedication requirements.
