DowJones11152019ManufacturedHomeStockUpdatesExecutive Vice President Lesli Gooch, the “CEO-elect” of the Arlington, VA based Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) has submitted comments that should be raising caution – or red – flags for investors in manufactured housing for reasons that will be outlined in tonight’s featured focus.

The full comments submitted by MHI’s Lesli Gooch are linked here, but let’s look at the introduction and some pull quotes to make the concerns of paltering plain. Keep in mind that statements made to federal officials are supposed to be true and correct to the best of that person’s knowledge and belief.

Per Gooch:

QuoteMarkManufacturedHomeLivingNewsThe Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) is pleased to submit comments in response to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) Request for Input on modifications to the Government Sponsored Enterprises’ (GSEs) 2018-2020 Duty to Serve Plans.

MHI is the only national trade association that represents every segment of the factory-built housing industry. Our Members include home builders, suppliers, retail sellers, lenders, installers, community owners, community operators, and others who serve the industry, as well as 49 affiliated state organizations.

This letter focuses on the two changes being proposed by Fannie Mae to its manufactured housing Duty to Serve Plan. These two changes are:

  1. Reducing its 2020 loan purchase target from 450 to 100, corresponding to real property loans made as a result of variances and policy changes issued in 2018 and 2019, and
  2. Switching 2019 evaluation of its MH Advantage objective from a Loan Purchase to a Loan Product evaluation area.

…Indeed, HUD’s recent Housing Finance Reform Plan states that “manufactured housing plays a vital role in meeting the nation’s affordable housing needs.”

 

Fannie Mae justifies the numerical reduction in its 2020 loan purchase target from 450 to 100 by arguing that, to date, industry adoption of these variances and products has been lower than originally anticipated.”

Note the following carefully. Fannie Mae asserts, and MHI doesn’t dispute that the so-called ‘new class of homes’ ironically dubbed “CrossModTM Homes” – that Skyline Champion (SKY) president and CEO Mark Yost touted in written testimony that reliable sources tell MHProNews was drafted and reviewed by a number of MHI-connected companies and officials – is not getting traction in the marketplace.

That admission confirms several of the concerns raised by MHProNews over the past 2 years. For more details, see the report linked below.

 

Paltering, Manufactured Homes, CrossModTM Homes, Manufactured Housing Institute, Clayton Homes, Berkshire Hathaway Manufactured Home Lenders, DTS, and You

Let’s dip back into Gooch’s FHFA revealing comments.

“…However, the essence of Duty to Serve is not process or effort, but results…” aptly says Gooch. That’s part of the purportedly ‘accurate’ part of her comments, but what follows is the definition of paltering’s deceptive portion.

“…The proposed numerical reduction is statistically significant. Fannie Mae could argue that these levels for this category are relatively small compared to the other 10,000 real property loans that it purchases each year. However, this would miss the point and purpose of Duty to Serve – which is to effect change and a substantive increase in the identified areas. In this case, the numerical reduction is far too drastic. MHI would be sympathetic to some modest reduction in the numerical target to reflect what Fannie Mae characterizes as slow industry receptivity to the variances and policy changes being put into effect. However, a 78 percent reduction in this category is far too large.”

Gooch weaves between diplomatic language toward Fannie and FHFA, while conceding a willingness to accept fewer loans than the already paltry level, as her own argument previously admitted.

“…For these reasons, MHI urges FHFA to either reject this proposed reduction in its numerical purchase target or at least limit the reduction to a small amount,” said Gooch for MHI.

  • Where is their insistence that there be a full and proper implementation of DTS on all HUD Code manufactured housing?
  • Why such tepid language when it is largely focused on the clear lack of traction to date on the ‘new class’ of “CrossModTM Homes” that MHI’s key members worked out behind closed doors with those same GSEs?

Returning back to her narrative…

QuoteMarkManufacturedHomeLivingNews 

  1. Change MH Advantage from a Loan Purchase to Loan Product Evaluation Area

MH Advantage® is an important new financing product for manufactured home buyers, as well as the entities that build and sell these homes. It is part of a long historical transformation of the manufactured housing industry to create a new product category that has the potential to address the shortage of affordable housing while simultaneously providing the same amenities and features that consumers demand in higher-priced site-built homes.

Fannie Mae justifies this change by stating that extensive work was needed to market MH Advantage® to retailers, to attract homebuyers who are priced out of the site-built market, and other factors that are resulting in minimal purchase levels in 2019.

MHI opposes this modification, for similar reasons to those identified in the previous section. This new class or category of manufactured homes, known as CrossMod™ homes, are a point of entry for home

ExtendedQuoteSymbolCloseQuoteSBManufacturedHomeProNews

buyers who would not have previously considered purchasing a manufactured home. These homes have the potential to reach areas of the country where manufactured housing has, in the past, been zoned out by discriminatory land use regulations at the state and local level. CrossMod™ homes are placed on a permanent foundation, qualify for conventional financing, and are virtually indistinguishable from higher-priced, site-built housing options.”

One could go on deeper with this, but Gooch as purportedly made the very case that MHProNews and publisher L. A. ‘Tony’ Kovach and others made in their DTS comments to FHFA previously. Namely, that the are posturing ‘defending’ and ‘promoting’ the industry, when in fact their efforts are do promote a scheme that has as its net results continued consolidation of the industry, due in good measure to low production levels that can be traced to the Omaha-Knoxville-Arlington axis, their allies and surrogates.

It takes more words to explain what they do, the rationale for it, and the impact it has on the industry’s residents, potential home owners, independents and investors than their bob-and-weave act takes.

 

ItIsEasierToFoolPeopleThanToConvinceThemThatTheyHaveBeenFooledMarkTwainSamuelClemensQuoteMHProNews
This is a powerful point made by Mark Twain, a.k.a. Samuel Clemens. It takes more time and effort to prove the distortion or lie than it does for a person or organization to tell the lie. Isn’t that part of what a con job counts on?

To illustrate, let’s dip back into Gooch’s testimony.

“…Making this home category a Loan Product undermines what is needed at this time to help MH Advantage® realize its true potential, which is broader consumer and industry acceptance of the product – something that can only be measured by the objective performance metric of actual loan purchases.”

Bingo. The measure is loans purchased and homes sold. That’s what MHProNews has been arguing for years. What is that measure?

A decrease in sales, despite their claim starting a year ago that the industry had ‘momentum’ as they touted this new class of homes.

LeveragingMomentumCreationNewClassofManufacturedHomesManufacturedHousingInstituteMHILogoDailyBusinessNewsMHProNews600
Screen capture with commentary and MHI’s logo are a collage by MHProNews, which faithfully reflects their “We’re Using Our Momentum Leveraging the Creation of a New Class of Manufactured Homes.” First, what momentum? Second, why the need for a ‘new class of homes?’ Manufactured housing builders have made residential style homes since at least the 1980s. Buyers could always option in or do on-site whatever they wanted and can afford. It’s therefor a head fake, an apparent ruse that seemingly limits GSE lending to only a tiny sliver of the market that could already be served by modular coded factory-built homes, or by existing residential style HUD Code manufactured homes. This new class of homes is a costly waste of time, save for the fact that it diverts lower-cost financing. Who benefits from that fact? A monopolist, perhaps?
MarkWeissDTSQuoteManufacturedHousingAssocRegulatoryReformMHARRDailyBusinessNewsMHproNews
While the comment was about DTS, there are parallel educational principles that apply. Manufactured housing arguably should be doing more sales using all kinds of lending. To accomplish that is in part an educational and communication issue. That is a post-production topic too, and yet where are the efforts by MHI to teach retailers and communities to attract more qualified customers to their offices and sales centers?
ManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMHILogo2018ResultsVideoStillManufacturedHomeProNewsFactCheck
The year over year downturn is now into month 13. Which makes a thoughtful, open minded, probing person wonder – how good or real were all of these so-called marketing efforts? Lesli Gooch said it herself, the bottom line is what matters, and the bottom line of shipments is in reverse.

Patience in carefully unpacking MHI’s own words, matching their claims with the data, and hammering those issue out publicly for all to see – all while giving them an opportunity to defend or debunk our concerns – has resulted in this. They are and have been arguably proving our point.

Then ask, are millions of consumers being hurt in the process? To answer that question, see the report linked above. Companies involved directly and obliquely with MHI are singing a different tune than MHI, which logically fails to do what they claim, namely, to represent all segments of manufactured housing. Further, as measured by their own stated metrics, MHI is failing.
