First things first. For those behind on reading due to the holiday hustle, your attention should go first to the three links that follow. Then, share them with others in your circle – to take the steps that Ross Kinzler, Joe Kelly, Tyler Craddock, my team and hundreds of other MH Pros have. Ross is right, we can can get this done, Joe is right, we can get more MH lending in 2016 as a result, but it needs to be now. This week or next, there will be DC votes. We’re close! Please see the above, and/or this link here.
Second. Texas independent retailer, Gary Adamek has an important point. Yes, Dodd-Frank has hurt MH. HMDA and other data proves it. But Gary says zoning hurts us even more. We in MH have to get good at juggling multiple balls. Some states are doing important work on this, as the report linked above suggests. Other states are facing a crisis. See the first in a series of reports, by award-winning journalist – Jan Hollingsworth – linked above or here.
Read it, and then care enough about this MH issue to share this broadly.
Third – the common denominator. Winning on anti-MH Dodd-Frank/CFPB regulations and zoning have threads that unite those and other issues. Sum it up in one word. MHEducation!
We’re hitting the educational trail next week to a new state for our latest Inside MH Road Show videoing. We’ll be bring more videos that appeal, inform, educate and motivate from MH home owners, MH industry and other pros in the coming days.
We’ll also plan to showcase in 2016 the path ahead for serious MH growth for those ready to get involved.
As an FYI, there will be a pair of Daily Business News reports for you to check out. One will go live early next week related to zoning, and the second one is already up, proof of the growing strength of the MH market. Please do read them.
1-2-3. Until mid-week, do take action NOW on the first item above.
Then, share the good word about MH via the resources found on MHLivingNews.com. The more the public knows the modern MH reality, the better you and all can do to sell more homes and fill more vacant MH Community sites. ##
