Big headline: Brookfield is reportedly in advanced talks to buy Yes! Communities from GIC for over $10 billion. If finalized, this would make Brookfield one of the largest—if not the largest—owners of mobile home parks in the U.S. Here’s why this matters for us: I used to work for Brookfield. Back then, I was in portfolio management for our Mobile Home Park Portfolio, so I had a front-row seat to how they think about scale, capital allocation, and risk. To now see them moving to take down Yes! is surreal—it’s a full-circle moment for me. For small and mid-size operators, the lesson is clear: Institutions aren’t slowing down. They’re chasing massive portfolios and are willing to pay premiums for scale. Our edge is agility. While Brookfield’s strategy is financial engineering on a global scale, we can still pick off the fragmented deals, add operational value, and generate returns that compete pound-for-pound. Market signal: When a firm like Brookfield puts $10B into MHPs, it’s confirmation this asset class is here to stay. The largest capital allocators in the world see the same thing we do: manufactured housing is the backbone of affordable housing. Takeaway: This isn’t a sign that “all the good deals are gone.” It’s a sign the big boys are playing in a different arena. Their game is scale. Ours is speed, creativity, and boots-on-the-ground execution.

Hey community - I thought it might be cool for other park owners to learn from a mobile home dealer's perspective and maybe set up a "workshop" in Waco, Texas with Clayton Homes. Things like: - Walking the dealer's lot and learning what's "new" with 2025 homes - Benefits of buying new vs. used homes - How a mobile home dealer can sell into your park - Different incentive ideas Clayton Homes has a manufacturing facility in Waco. It would be cool to do a tour of the facility and see how the homes are made. I've done the tour and it's awesome. I could even get Vanderbilt to do something about creative ideas to finance homes in your park, etc. Please let me know if anyone would be interested. For now, this would be in Waco, Texas.

86 lots in Tuscaloosa, AL. Big thank you to Ryan, Mike and the community.
