BWE Arranges $150M Line of Credit for Nationwide Manufactured Housing Portfolio

by Kristin Harlow

CLEVELAND — Cleveland-based BWE has arranged $150 million in financing through a Freddie Mac transitional line of credit (TLOC) for a collection of over 2,500 manufactured housing community sites in the Midwest, Southeast and Rocky Mountain regions. MJ Vukovich, Ghazy Grijalva and Andrew Capra of BWE arranged the TLOC through Freddie Mac’s Optigo channel on behalf of a long-term client. The team also sourced a $14 million traditional bank loan for the borrower from a lender specializing in manufactured housing. The TLOC provides a convenient solution for manufactured housing communities that require more repairs and renovations before securing permanent financing terms or more flexibility in their hold period, according to BWE. By only initially using $100 million of the $150 million TLOC, the borrower has the ability to shape its portfolio more thoroughly by adding new properties in the future. BWE structured the TLOC as a floating-rate loan with interest-only payments for the full term. Additionally, the terms included interest rate caps to hedge against the risk of increasing rates, while also positioning the client to take advantage of a declining rate environment later this year and provide flexibility for asset exit.

Know What Your Consumers Want and Expect, Advise Active Adult Developers

by John Nelson

By Matt Valley DALLAS — The success or failure of an active adult community hinges on whether the operator can deliver on its valuation proposition, and tenants are willing to pay a premium if their lifestyle expectations are met. That’s one of the key takeaways from an active adult panel discussion that took place March 6 during the 2024 NIC Spring Conference at the Omni Dallas Hotel. Prospective tenants in this real estate niche are experienced, sophisticated consumers who know when they are being sold a bill of goods. They know if leasing people aren’t being sincere, said Robert May, managing director of Avenida Partners, a national real estate development firm with offices in Newport Beach, California, and Nashville, Tennessee. “They come to our communities for the first time knowing a whole lot more about us than we do about them because of the internet, because of social media, because of that senior network that’s out there,” explained May. “The brand is everything. It’s what they see, it’s what they hear, and they’ve got to feel it. They’ve got to feel that you’re really there to deliver that value proposition, that lifestyle that they are looking for.” For traditional multifamily …
