PART
I
Overview
We
are a self-administered, self-managed, vertically integrated owner and operator of manufactured housing communities. We earn income
from leasing manufactured home sites to tenants who own their own manufactured home and the rental of company-owned manufactured
homes to residents of the communities.
We
own and operate 20 manufactured housing communities containing approximately 1,308 developed sites and a total of 417 company-owned
manufactured homes. The communities are located in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. See Item 2. “Properties”
for s description of these manufactured housing communities.
Our
Corporate History and Structure
We
originally incorporated in the State of Nevada as Frontier Staffing, Inc. on September 3, 2003. Since our incorporation, we have
experienced several name changes and have engaged in several different business endeavors. On October 12, 2017, Mobile Home Rental
Holdings LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, which engaged in acquiring and operating manufactured housing properties,
merged with and into our company. In connection with the merger, the name of our company was changed to Manufactured Housing Properties
Inc., the former business and management of Mobile Home Rental Holdings became the business and management, respectively, of our
company at that time.
In
connection with our acquisitions of manufactured housing communities, we have established various limited liability companies
to hold the acquired properties. Following is a summary of our subsidiaries, each of which is owned directly by our company.

The
Manufactured Housing Community Industry
Manufactured
housing communities are residential developments designed and improved for the placement of detached, single-family manufactured
homes that are produced off-site and installed and set on residential sites within the community. The owner of a manufactured
home leases the site on which it is located and the lessee of a manufactured home leases both the home and site on which the home
is located.
We
believe that manufactured housing is accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to common stick-built
single-family housing. We believe that the affordability of the modern manufactured home makes it a very attractive housing alternative.
Manufactured housing is one of the only non-subsidized affordable housing options in the U.S. Demand for housing affordability
continues to increase, but supply remains static, as there are virtually no new manufactured housing communities being developed.
We are committed to becoming an industry leader in providing this affordable housing option and an improved level of service to
our residents, while producing an attractive and stable risk adjusted return to our investors.
A
manufactured housing community is a land-lease community designed and improved with home sites for the placement of manufactured
homes and includes related improvements and amenities. Each homeowner in a manufactured housing community leases from the community
a site on which a home is located. The manufactured housing community owner owns the underlying land, utility connections, streets,
lighting, driveways, common area amenities, and other capital improvements and is responsible for enforcement of community guidelines
and maintenance of the community. Generally, each homeowner is responsible for the maintenance of his or her home and upkeep of
his or her leased site. In some cases, customers may rent homes with the community owner’s maintaining ownership and responsibility
for the maintenance and upkeep of the home. This option provides flexibility for customers seeking a more affordable, shorter-term
housing option and enables the community owner to meet a broader demand for housing and improve occupancy and cash flow.
We
believe that manufactured housing communities have several characteristics that make them an attractive investment when compared
to certain other types of real estate, particularly multifamily, including:
|
●
|
Significant
Barriers to Entry. We believe that the supply of new manufactured housing
communities will be constrained due to significant barriers to entry in the industry,
including: (i) various zoning restrictions and negative zoning biases against manufactured housing
communities; (ii) substantial upfront costs associated with the development of infrastructure,
amenities and other offsite improvements required by various governmental agencies, and
(iii) a significant length of time before lease-up and revenues can commence.
|
|
●
|
Diminishing
Supply. Supply is decreasing due to redevelopment of older parks.
|
|
●
|
Large
Demographic Group of Potential Customers. We consider households earning
between $25,000 and $50,000 per year to be our core customer base. This demographic group
represents about 43 percent of overall U.S. households, according to 2016 U.S. Census
data.
|
|
●
|
Stable
Resident Base. We believe that manufactured housing communities tend
to achieve and maintain a stable rate of occupancy, due to the following factors: (i)
residents generally own their own homes; moving a manufactured home from one community
to another involves substantial cost and effort and often results in the abandonment
of on-site improvements made by the resident such as decks, garages, carports, and landscaping;
and (iii) residents enjoy a sense of community inherent in manufactured housing
communities similar to residential subdivisions.
|
|
●
|
Fragmented
Ownership of Communities. Manufactured housing community ownership
in the United States is highly fragmented, with a majority of manufactured housing
communities owned by individuals. The top five manufactured housing community owners
control approximately 7% of manufactured housing community home sites.
|
|
●
|
Low
Recurring Capital Requirements. Although manufactured housing community
owners are responsible for maintaining the infrastructure of the community, each homeowner
is responsible for the upkeep of his or her own home and home site, thereby reducing
the manufactured housing community owner’s ongoing maintenance expenses and
capital requirements.
|
|
●
|
Affordable
Homeowner Lifestyle. Manufactured housing communities offer an affordable
lifestyle typically unavailable in apartments, including lack of common walls, a yard
for each resident, the ability to park by the front door, and a sense of community.
|
Competition
There
are numerous private companies, but only three publicly-traded real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that compete in the
manufactured housing industry. Many of the private companies and one of the REITs, UMH Properties, Inc., may compete
with us for acquisitions of manufactured housing communities. Many of these companies have larger operations and greater financial
resources than we do. The number of competitors, however, is increasing as new entrants discover the benefits of the manufactured
housing asset class. We believe that due to the fragmented nature of ownership within the manufactured housing sector, the
level of competition is less than that in other commercial real estate sectors.
Competitive
Strengths
We
believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively:
|
●
|
Deal
Sourcing. Our deal sourcing consists of marketed deals, pocket listings, and
off market deals. Marketed deals are properties that are listed with a broker who
exposes the property to the largest pool of buyers possible. Pocket listings are properties
that are presented by brokers to a limited pool of buyers. Off market deals are ones
that are not actively marketed. As a result of our network of relationships in
our industry, only two properties in our portfolio were marketed deals, the rest were
off-market or pocket listings.
|
|
●
|
Centralized
Operations. We have centralized many operational tasks, including accounting,
marketing, lease administration, and accounts payable. The use of professional
staff and technology allows us to scale efficiently and operate properties profitably
by reducing tasks otherwise completed at the property level.
|
|
●
|
Deal
Size. We believe that our small capitalization size with non-institutional deals
of less than 150 sites are accretive to our balance sheet. These sized properties
typically have less bidders at lower prices than larger properties. We can profitably
operate these smaller properties through our centralized operations.
|
|
●
|
Creating
Value. Our underwriting expertise enables us to identify acquisition prospects
to provide attractive risk adjusted returns. Our operational team has the experience,
skill and resources to create this value through physical and/or operational property
improvements.
|
Our
Growth Strategy
Our
growth strategy is to acquire both stable and undervalued and underperforming manufactured housing properties that have current
income. We believe that we can enhance value through our professional asset and property management. Our property management services
are mainly comprised of tenant contracts and leasing, marketing vacancies, community maintenance, enforcement of community policies,
establishment and collection rent, and payment of vendors. Our lot and manufactured home leases are generally for one month and
auto renew monthly for an additional month.
Our
investment mission on behalf of our stockholders is to deliver an attractive risk-adjusted return with a focus on value creation,
capital preservation, and growth. In our ongoing search for acquisition opportunities we target and evaluate manufactured housing
communities nationwide.
We
may invest in improved and unimproved real property and may develop unimproved real property. These property investments may be
located throughout the United States, but to date we have concentrated in the Southeast portion of the United States. We are focused
on acquiring communities with significant upside potential and leveraging our expertise to build long-term capital appreciation.
We
are one of four public companies in the manufactured housing sector, but we are the only one not organized as a REIT, thereby
giving us flexibility to focus on growth through reinvestment of income and employing higher leverage upon acquisition than the
REITs traditionally utilize due to market held norms around 50-60%. This can give us a competitive advantage when bidding for
assets. Additionally, due to our small size, non-institutional sized deals of less than 150 sites, which have less bidders and
lower prices, are accretive to our balance sheet.
Regulation
Federal,
State and/or Local Regulatory Compliance
We
are subject to a variety of federal, state, and/or local statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations covering the purchase, development
and operation of real estate assets. These regulatory requirements include zoning and land use, worksite safety, traffic, and
other matters, such as local rules that may impose restrictive zoning and developmental requirements. We are subject to various
licensing, registration, and filing requirements in connection with the development and operation of certain real estate assets.
Additionally, state and/or local governments retain certain rights with respect to eminent domain which could enable them to restrict
or alter the use of our property. These requirements may lead to increases in our overall costs. The need to comply with these
requirements may significantly delay development with regard to properties, or lead us to alter our plans regarding certain real
estate assets. Some requirements, on a property by property evaluation, may lead to a determination that development of a particular
property would not be economically feasible, even if any or all necessary governmental approvals were obtained.
We
believe that each community has all material operating permits and approvals.
Environmental
Regulatory Compliance
Under
various federal, state and/or local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of a property may
be required to investigate and/or clean-up hazardous or toxic substances released at that property. That owner or operator also
may be held liable to third parties for bodily injury or property damage (investigation and/or clean-up costs) incurred by those
parties in connection with the contamination at that site. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner
or operator knew of or otherwise caused the release of the hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, persons who arrange for
the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials also may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such
persons.
The
costs of remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances can be substantial, and the presence of contamination, or the
failure to remediate contamination discovered, at a property we own or operate may adversely affect our ability to develop, sell,
lease, or borrow upon that property. Current and former tenants at a property we own may have, or may have involved, the use of
hazardous materials or generated hazardous wastes, and those situations could result in our incurring liabilities to remediate
any resulting contamination if the responsible party is unable or unwilling to do so.
In
addition, our properties may be exposed to a risk of contamination originating from other sources. While a property owner generally
is not responsible for remediating contamination that has migrated on-site from an off-site source, the contaminant’s presence
could have adverse effects on our ability to develop, construct on, operate, sell, lease, or borrow upon that property. Certain
environmental laws may create a lien on a contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government may
incur to remediate that contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on a property, environmental laws may impose restrictions
on the manner in which that property may be used, or how businesses may be operated on that property, thus reducing our ability
to maximize our investment in that property. Our properties have been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment
at various times; however, the identification of new areas of contamination, a change in the extent or known scope of contamination,
or changes in environmental regulatory standards and/or cleanup requirements could result in significant costs to us.
Insurance
and Property Maintenance and Improvement Policies
Our
properties are insured against risks that may cause property damage and business interruption including events such as fire, business
interruption, general liability and if applicable, flood. Our insurance policies contain deductible requirements, coverage limits
and particular exclusions. It is our policy to maintain adequate insurance coverage on all of our properties; and, in the opinion
of our management, all of our properties are adequately insured. We also obtain title insurance insuring fee title to the properties
in an aggregate amount which we believe to be adequate.
It
is also our policy to properly maintain, modernize, expand and make improvements to its properties when required.
Employees
As
of December 31, 2019, we had 17 employees, including officers, all of whom are full-time employees.
An
investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully read and consider all of the risks described
below, together with all of the other information contained or referred to in this report, before making an investment decision
with respect to our Common Stock or our company. If any of the following events occur, our financial condition, business and results
of operations (including cash flows) may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our Common Stock
could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to our Business and Industry
The
outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is growing and its impacts may cause a material adverse effect on our business.
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since
spread to over 100 countries, including the United States. COVID-19 has also spread to every state in the United States, including
where we own and operate our properties and have our executive offices and principal operations. On March 11, 2020, the World
Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency
with respect to COVID-19.
The
potential impact and duration of COVID-19 could have repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries continues to adversely impact global economic activity and has contributed to significant
volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The continued spread of COVID-19 has had, and could have a significantly
greater, material adverse effect on the U.S. economy as a whole, as well as the states and cities where we own properties in particular.
Many
states and cities, including where we own properties, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay
at home” rules, and restrictions on the types of business that may continue to operate. Many non-essential businesses in
the states and cities where our properties are located have been forced to close, including where our principal office is located.
These
restrictions have had a negative impact on the economy and business activity and may adversely impact the ability of our tenants,
many of whom may be restricted in their ability to work, to pay their rent as and when due. In addition, our property
managers may be limited in their ability to properly maintain our properties. Enforcing our rights as landlord against tenants who
fail to pay rent or otherwise do not comply with the terms of their leases may not be possible as many jurisdictions, include
those where are properties are located, have established rules and/or regulations preventing us from evicting tenants for certain
periods in response to COVID-19. If we are unable to enforce our rights as landlords, our business would be materially affected.
The
rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless,
COVID-19 and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas
present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We
may not be able to obtain adequate cash to fund our business.
Our
business requires access to adequate cash to finance our operations, distributions, capital expenditures, debt service obligations,
development and redevelopment costs and property acquisition costs, if any. We expect to generate the cash to be used for these
purposes primarily with operating cash flow, borrowings under secured and unsecured loans, proceeds from sales of strategically
identified assets and, when market conditions permit, through the issuance of debt and equity securities from time to time. We
may not be able to generate sufficient cash to fund our business, particularly if we are unable to renew leases, lease vacant
space or re-lease space as leases expire according to our expectations.
General
economic conditions and the concentration of our properties in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee may affect our ability
to generate sufficient revenue.
The
market and economic conditions in our current markets may significantly affect manufactured housing occupancy or rental rates.
Occupancy and rental rates, in turn, may significantly affect our revenues, and if our communities do not generate revenues sufficient
to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, current cash flow and ability to pay or refinance
our debt obligations could be adversely affected. As a result of the current geographic concentration of our properties in Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, we are exposed to the risks of downturns in the local economy or other local real
estate market conditions that could adversely affect occupancy rates, rental rates, and property values in these markets.
Other
factors that may affect general economic conditions or local real estate conditions include:
|
●
|
the
national and local economic climate which may be adversely affected by, among other factors,
plant closings, and industry slowdowns;
|
|
●
|
local
real estate market conditions such as the oversupply of manufactured home sites or a
reduction in demand for manufactured home sites in an area;
|
|
●
|
the
number of repossessed homes in a particular market;
|
|
●
|
the
lack of an established dealer network;
|
|
●
|
the
rental market which may limit the extent to which rents may be increased to meet increased
expenses without decreasing occupancy rates;
|
|
●
|
the
safety, convenience and attractiveness of our properties and the neighborhoods where
they are located;
|
|
●
|
zoning
or other regulatory restrictions;
|
|
●
|
competition
from other available manufactured housing communities and alternative forms of housing
(such as apartment buildings and single-family homes);
|
|
●
|
our
ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance;
|
|
●
|
increased
operating costs, including insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities; and
|
|
●
|
the
enactment of rent control laws or laws taxing the owners of manufactured homes.
|
Our
income would also be adversely affected if tenants were unable to pay rent or if sites were unable to be rented on favorable terms.
If we were unable to promptly renew the leases for a significant number of sites, or if the rental rates upon such renewal or
reletting were significantly lower than expected rates, then our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In addition, certain expenditures associated with each property (such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs) generally are
not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.
We
face risks generally associated with our debt.
We
finance a portion of our investments in properties through debt. As of December 31, 2019, our total indebtedness for borrowed
money was $31,520,782. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow
will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. In addition, debt creates other risks, including:
|
●
|
failure
to repay or refinance existing debt as it matures, which may result in forced disposition
of assets on disadvantageous terms;
|
|
●
|
refinancing
terms less favorable than the terms of existing debt; and
|
|
●
|
failure
to meet required payments of principal and/or interest.
|
We
face risks related to “balloon payments” and re-financings.
Certain
of our mortgages will have significant outstanding principal balances on their maturity dates, commonly known as “balloon
payments.” As of December 31, 2019, our total future minimum principal payments were $28,992,853. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to refinance the debt on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we cannot refinance debt on favorable terms
or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms or pay higher interest rates, either of which would
have an adverse impact on our financial performance and ability to service debt and make distributions.
We
may become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and an increase in debt service requirements
that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.
We
have incurred, and may continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our activities. We could become more highly leveraged,
resulting in an increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.
Covenants
in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition.
The
terms of our various credit agreements and other indebtedness require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other
covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. These covenants may
limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing
the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. If we were to default under our credit agreements,
our financial condition would be adversely affected.
A
change in the United States government policy regarding to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) could impact our financial condition.
Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac are a major source of financing for the manufactured housing real estate sector. We could depend on Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac to finance growth by purchasing or guarantying manufactured housing community loans. In February 2011, the
Obama Administration released a report to Congress that included options, among others, to gradually shrink and eventually shut
down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We do not know when or if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will restrict their support of lending to
our real estate sector or to us in particular. A final decision by the government to eliminate Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or reduce
their acquisitions or guarantees of our mortgage loans, may adversely affect interest rates, capital availability and our ability
to refinance our existing mortgage obligations as they come due and obtain additional long-term financing for the acquisition
of additional communities on favorable terms or at all.
We
face risks relating to the property management services that we provide.
There
are inherent risks in our providing property management services to the manufactured housing communities on the properties that
we own. The more significant of these risks include:
|
●
|
our
possible liability for personal injury or property damage suffered by our employees and
third parties, including our tenants, that are not fully covered by our insurance;
|
|
●
|
our
possible inability to keep our manufactured housing communities at or near full occupancy;
|
|
●
|
our
possible inability to attract and keep responsible tenants
|
|
●
|
our
possible inability to expediently remove “bad” tenants from our communities
|
|
●
|
our
possible inability to timely and satisfactorily deal with complaints of our tenants;
|
|
●
|
our
possible inability to locate, hire and retain qualified property management personnel;
and
|
|
●
|
our
possible inability to adequately control expenses with respect to our properties.
|
We
may not be able to integrate or finance our acquisitions and our acquisitions may not perform as expected.
We
acquire and intend to continue to acquire manufactured housing communities on a select basis. Our acquisition activities and their
success are subject to the following risks:
|
●
|
we
may be unable to acquire a desired property because of competition from other well capitalized
real estate investors, including both publicly traded REITs and institutional investment
funds;
|
|
●
|
even
if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, it is usually subject to customary
conditions for closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction,
which may not be satisfied;
|
|
●
|
even
if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from other real estate investors
may significantly increase the purchase price;
|
|
●
|
we
may be unable to finance acquisitions on favorable terms;
|
|
●
|
acquired
properties may fail to perform as expected;
|
|
●
|
acquired
properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with a lack of
market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships
in the area and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and
|
|
●
|
we
may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions
of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations.
|
If
any of the above were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In
addition, we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect
to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a liability were to be asserted against us based on ownership of those properties, we
might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
New
acquisitions may fail to perform as expected and the intended benefits may not be realized, which could have a negative impact
on our operations.
We
intend to continue to acquire manufactured housing communities. However, newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected
and could pose risks for our ongoing operations including the following:
|
●
|
integration
may prove costly or time-consuming and may divert management’s attention from the
management of daily operations;
|
|
●
|
difficulties
or an inability to access capital or increases in financing costs;
|
|
●
|
we
may incur costs and expenses associated with any undisclosed or potential liabilities;
|
|
●
|
unforeseen
difficulties may arise in integrating an acquisition into our portfolio;
|
|
●
|
expected
synergies may not materialize; and
|
|
●
|
we
may acquire properties in new markets where we face risks associated with lack of market
knowledge such as understanding of the local economy, the local governmental and/or local
permit procedures.
|
As
a result of the foregoing, we may not accurately estimate or identify all costs necessary to bring an acquired manufactured housing
communities up to standards established for our intended market position. As such, we cannot provide assurance that any acquisition
that we make will be accretive to us in the near term or at all. Furthermore, if we fail to realize the intended benefits of an
acquisition, it may have a negative impact on our operations.
Development
and expansion properties may fail to perform as expected and the intended benefits may not be realized, which could have a negative
impact on our operations.
We
may periodically consider development and expansion activities, which are subject to risks such as construction costs exceeding
original estimates and construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased construction costs and lower than expected revenues.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that these properties will operate better as a result of development or expansion activities
due to various factors, including lower than anticipated occupancy and rental rates causing a property to be unprofitable or less
profitable than originally estimated.
We
regularly expend capital to maintain, repair and renovate our properties, which could negatively impact our financial condition
and results of operations.
We
may, or we may be required to, from time to time make significant capital expenditures to maintain or enhance the competitiveness
of our manufactured housing communities. There can be no assurances that any such expenditures would result in higher occupancy
or higher rental rates.
We
may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid.
Real
estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly and, therefore, will tend to limit our ability to vary our property portfolio
promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance
of our property portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our debt and make distributions
to our stockholders.
We
may be unable to compete with our larger competitors, which may in turn adversely affect our profitability.
The
real estate business is highly competitive. We compete for manufactured housing community investments with numerous other real
estate entities, such as individuals, corporations, REITs, and other enterprises engaged in real estate activities. In many cases,
the competing concerns may be larger and better financed than we are, making it difficult for us to secure new manufactured housing
community investments. Competition among private and institutional purchasers of manufactured housing community investments has
led to increases in the purchase prices paid for manufactured housing communities and consequent higher fixed costs. To the extent
we are unable to effectively compete in the marketplace, our business may be adversely affected.
Actions
by our competitors may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties which could adversely
affect our business.
We
compete with other owners and operators of manufactured housing community properties, some of whom own properties similar to ours
in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. The number of competitive manufactured housing community properties
in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease sites and increase rents charged at our properties
or at any newly acquired properties. In addition, other forms of multi-family residential properties, such as private and federally
funded or assisted multi-family housing projects and single-family housing, provide housing alternatives to potential tenants
of manufactured housing communities. If our competitors offer housing at rental rates below current market rates or below the
rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates
below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire. As a result, our financial condition,
cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely
affected.
Losses
in excess of our insurance coverage or uninsured losses could adversely affect our cash flow.
We
generally maintain insurance policies related to our business, including casualty, general liability and other policies covering
business operations, employees and assets. However, we may be required to bear all losses that are not adequately covered by insurance.
In addition, there are certain losses that are not generally insured because it is not economically feasible to insure against
them, including losses due to riots or acts of war. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect
to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated profits
and cash flow from the properties and, in the case of debt that carries recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage
debt or other financial obligations related to the properties. Although we believe that our insurance programs are adequate, no
assurance can be given that we will not incur losses in excess of its insurance coverage, or that we will be able to obtain insurance
in the future at acceptable levels and reasonable cost.
Costs
associated with taxes and regulatory compliance may reduce our revenue.
We
are subject to significant regulation that inhibits our activities and may increase our costs. Local zoning and use laws, environmental
statutes and other governmental requirements may restrict expansion, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. These regulations
may prevent us from taking advantage of economic opportunities. Legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act may require
us to modify our properties at a substantial cost and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages
to private litigants. Future legislation may impose additional requirements. We cannot predict what requirements may be enacted
or amended or what costs we will incur to comply with such requirements. Costs resulting from changes in real estate laws, income
taxes, service or other taxes may adversely affect our funds from operations and our ability to pay or refinance our debt. Similarly,
changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions
on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect our business
and results of operations.
Rent
control legislation may harm our ability to increase rents.
State
and local rent control laws in certain jurisdictions may limit our ability to increase rents and to recover increases in operating
expenses and the costs of capital improvements. We may purchase additional properties in markets that are either subject to rent
control or in which rent-limiting legislation exists or may be enacted.
Environmental
liabilities could affect our profitability.
Under
various federal, state and local laws, as well as local ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances at, on, under or in such property, as well as certain
other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether
the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous substances. A conveyance of the property, therefore,
does not relieve the owner or operator from liability. As a current or former owner and operator of real estate, we may be required
by law to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at or from the properties we currently own or operate or have
in the past owned or operated. We may also be liable to the government or to third parties for property damage, investigation
costs and cleanup costs. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government
for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the contamination. Contamination may adversely affect our ability
to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment
of hazardous substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment
facility owned or operated by another person. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for the management and
disposal of asbestos-containing materials and for the release of such materials into the air. These laws may provide for third
parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials.
In connection with the ownership, operation, management, and development of real properties, we may be considered an owner or
operator of such properties and, therefore, are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, and also may be liable for
governmental fines and injuries to persons and property. When we arrange for the treatment or disposal of hazardous substances
at landfills or other facilities owned by other persons, we may be liable for the removal or remediation costs at such facilities.
We are not aware of any environmental liabilities relating to our investment properties that would have a material adverse effect
on our business, assets, or results of operations. However, we cannot assure you that environmental liabilities will not arise
in the future and that such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operation.
Of
the twenty one manufactured housing communities we currently operate, five are on well and septic systems. At these locations,
we are subject to compliance with monthly, quarterly and yearly testing for contaminants as outlined by each state’s Department
of Environmental Protection Agencies. Currently, we are not subject to radon or asbestos monitoring requirements.
Additionally,
in connection with the management of the properties or upon acquisition or financing of a property, we authorize the preparation
of Phase I or similar environmental reports (which involves general inspections without soil sampling or ground water analysis)
completed by independent environmental consultants. Based on such environmental reports and our ongoing review of its properties,
as of the date of this offering circular, we are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties
that we believe would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
These reports, however, cannot reflect conditions arising after the studies were completed, and no assurances can be given that
existing environmental studies reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of a property or neighboring
owner or operator did not create any material environmental condition not known to us, or that a material environmental condition
does not otherwise exist with respect to any one property or more than one property.
We
are subject to risks arising from litigation.
We
may become involved in litigation. Litigation can be costly, and the results of litigation are often difficult to predict. We
may not have adequate insurance coverage or contractual protection to cover costs and liability in the event we are sued, and
to the extent we resort to litigation to enforce our rights, we may incur significant costs and ultimately be unsuccessful or
unable to recover amounts we believe are owed to us. We may have little or no control of the timing of litigation, which presents
challenges to our strategic planning.
We
are dependent on key personnel.
Our
executive and other senior officers have a significant role in our success. Our ability to retain our management group or to attract
suitable replacements should any members of the management group leave depends on the competitive nature of the employment market.
The loss of services from key members of the management group or a limitation in their availability could adversely affect our
financial condition and cash flow. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.
Our
management is inexperienced in running a public entity.
With
the exception of Michael Z. Anise, our president, chief financial officer and a director, our management does not have prior experience
with the operation and management of a public entity. As a result, they will be learning as they proceed and may be forced to
rely more heavily on the expertise of outside professionals than they might otherwise, which in turn could lead to higher legal
and accounting costs and possible securities law compliance issues.
We
have one stockholder that can single-handedly control our company.
Our
largest stockholder is Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, our chairman and chief executive
officer. At present, Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC owns 70% of our total issued and outstanding Common Stock. Under Nevada law,
this ownership position provides Mr. Gee with the almost unrestricted ability to control the business, management and strategic
direction of our company. If Mr. Gee chooses to exercise this control, his decisions regarding our company could be detrimental
to, or not in the best interests of our company and its other stockholders.
We
have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to develop or maintain an effective
system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results and prevent fraud. As a result, current
and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial statements, which would harm the trading price of our Common
Stock.
Companies
that file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including us, are subject to the requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404. SOX 404 requires management to establish and maintain a system of internal
control over financial reporting and annual reports on Form 10-K filed under the Exchange Act to contain a report from management
assessing the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial reporting. Separately, under SOX 404, as amended
by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, public companies that are large accelerated filers or
accelerated filers must include in their annual reports on Form 10-K an attestation report of their regular auditors attesting
to and reporting on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Non-accelerated filers and smaller
reporting companies, like us, are not required to include an attestation report of their auditors in annual reports.
A
report of our management is included under Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures.” We are a smaller reporting company
and, consequently, are not required to include an attestation report of our auditor in our annual report. However, if and when
we become subject to the auditor attestation requirements under SOX 404, we can provide no assurance that we will receive a positive
attestation from our independent auditors.
During
its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, management identified
material weaknesses. These material weaknesses were associated with (i) our lack of proper segregation of duties due to the limited
number of employees within the accounting department and (ii) our lack of effective closing procedures. We are undertaking remedial
measures, which measures will take time to implement and test, to address these material weaknesses. There can be no assurance
that such measures will be sufficient to remedy the material weaknesses identified or that additional material weaknesses or other
control or significant deficiencies will not be identified in the future. If we continue to experience material weaknesses in
our internal controls or fail to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, such circumstances could cause us to
fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, or adversely
affect the results of periodic management evaluations and, if required, annual auditor attestation reports. Each of the foregoing
results could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and lead to a decline in our stock price.
Risks
Related Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our
Common Stock is eligible for quotation on the Pink Market but few quotations have been made and limited trading has occurred in
our Common Stock. Due to the lack of an active trading market for our securities, you may have difficulty selling any shares you
purchase, which could result in the loss of your investment.
There
is presently limited demand for our Common Stock and no active public market exists for our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is
eligible for quotation on the Pink Market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. The Pink Market is a regulated quotation service
that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter securities. The Pink Market is not
an issuer listing service, market or exchange. The requirements for quotation on the Pink Market are considerably lower and less
regulated than those of an exchange. Because of this, it is possible that fewer brokers or dealers will be interested in making
a market in our Common Stock because the market for such securities is more limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk
to investors is greater, which may impact the liquidity of our Common Stock. Even if an active market begins to develop in our
Common Stock, the quotation of our Common Stock on the Pink Market may result in a less liquid market available for existing and
potential stockholders to trade Common Stock, could depress the trading price of our Common Stock and could have a long-term adverse
impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. If an active market is never developed for our Common Stock, it will be
difficult or impossible for you to sell any Common Stock you purchase.
We
cannot predict the extent to which an active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained. If an active
public trading market does not develop or cannot be sustained, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our Common Stock.
At
present, there is minimal public trading in our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for
our Common Stock will develop or be sustained due to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that
is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate
or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be
reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares of Common Stock until
such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity
in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity
that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on stock price. We cannot give you any assurance that an
active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained. If such a market cannot be sustained, you may
be unable to liquidate your investment in our Common Stock.
Our
Common Stock may be subject to significant price volatility which may have an adverse effect on your ability to liquidate your
investment in our Common Stock.
The
market for our Common Stock may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect
that our stock price will be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The potential volatility in our stock
price is attributable to a number of factors. First, our shares of Common Stock may be sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a
consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately
influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in
the event that a large number of our shares of Common Stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to
a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its stock price. Secondly, an investment in us
is a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of meaningful profits to date and uncertainty of future profits.
As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment
in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater
discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.
We
may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our Common Stock.
The
SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market
price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Our Common Stock
is a “penny stock” and is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. This rule imposes additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”
(generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with
their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the
purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may
affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities
in the secondary market, thus possibly making it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of
a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally,
monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information
on the limited market in penny stock.
There
can be no assurance that our Common stock will qualify for exemption from this rule. In any event, even if our Common Stock were
exempt from this rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict
any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public
interest.
We
have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We
have paid no cash dividends on our Common Stock to date and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in
the near term. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business,
and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales
of their Common Stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends
should not purchase our Common Stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board
of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed
by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.
Our
Preferred Stock have liquidation preferences senior to our Common Stock.
Our
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series B Preferred Stock, have liquidation preferences that get paid prior to any payment
on our Common Stock. As a result, if we were to dissolve, liquidate, merge with another company or sell our assets, the holders
of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock would have the right to receive up to approximately $13,233,330 as
of December 31, 2019, plus any unpaid dividends, before any amount is paid to the holders of our Common Stock. The payment of
the liquidation preferences could result in common stockholders not receiving any consideration if we were to liquidate, dissolve
or wind up, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The existence of the liquidation preferences may also reduce the value of our
Common Stock, make it harder for us to sell shares of Common Stock in offerings in the future, or prevent or delay a change of
control.
We
may issue additional debt and equity securities that are senior to our Common Stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which
could materially adversely affect the value of the Common Stock.
In
the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is secured
by all or up to all of our assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of commercial paper, medium-term
notes, senior notes, subordinated notes or shares. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt securities
would receive a distribution of our available assets before distributions to our stockholders. Any additional preferred securities,
if issued by our company, may have a preference with respect to distributions and upon liquidation that is senior to the preference
of our Common Stock, which could further limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Because our decision to
incur debt and issue securities in our future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control,
we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings and debt financing.
Further,
market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future. Thus, you
will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the value of your Common Stock. In addition, we can change our leverage strategy
from time to time without approval of holders of our Common Stock, which could materially adversely affect the value of our Common
Stock.
Our
articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law have anti-takeover provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change
in control, which may cause our stock price to decline.
Our
articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law contain provisions which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire
us, even if closing such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue up to 5,000,000
shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock. This Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which
may be determined at the time of issuance by our board of directors without further action by stockholders. The terms of any series
of Preferred Stock may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to
dividend, liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any Preferred Stock could
materially adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Common Stock, and therefore, reduce the value of our Common Stock.
In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of Preferred Stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with,
or sell our assets to, a third party and thereby preserve control by current management.
Provisions
of our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law also could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals
or making a tender offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable.
Such provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In particular,
our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law, as applicable, among other things, provide our board of directors with the
ability to alter our bylaws without stockholder approval, and provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by
a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum.

Approximate Number of Holders of Our
Common Stock
As of April 10, 2020, there were approximately
207 registered holders of our Common Stock. This number excludes the shares owned by stockholders holding shares under nominee
security position listings.
Dividend Policy
Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.017 per share each month, which is equivalent to the rate of 8%
of the $2.50 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even
if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.
Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.067 per share each month, which is equivalent to the annual rate
of 8% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure
to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.083 per month,
which is equivalent to the annual rate of 10% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series
B Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not
have earnings.
We have never declared dividends or paid
cash dividends on our Common Stock. Our board of directors will make any future decisions regarding dividends. We currently intend
to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
in the near future. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends. Even if our board of directors
decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements
and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.
See also Item 1.A. “Risk Factors—Risks
Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock— We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not intend to pay
dividends for the foreseeable future.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
|
The following management’s discussion
and analysis of financial condition and results of operations provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment
and understanding of our plans and financial condition. The following selected financial information is derived from our
historical financial statements should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere
herein and the “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” explanation included in the “Introductory
Notes” above.
Overview
We are a self-administered, self-managed,
vertically integrated owner and operator of manufactured housing communities. We earn income from leasing manufactured home sites
to tenants who own their own manufactured home and the rental of company-owned manufactured homes to residents of the communities.
As of December 31, 2019, we owned and
operated 18 manufactured housing communities containing approximately 1,133 developed sites and a total of 307 company-owned manufactured
homes. The communities are located in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. See Item 2. “Properties”
for a description of these manufactured housing communities.
We believe that manufactured housing is
accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to common stick-built single-family housing. We believe
that the affordability of the modern manufactured home makes it a very attractive housing alternative. Manufactured housing is
one of the only non-subsidized affordable housing options in the U.S. Demand for housing affordability continues to increase, but
supply remains static, as there are virtually no new manufactured housing communities being developed. We are committed to becoming
an industry leader in providing this affordable housing option and an improved level of service to our residents, while producing
an attractive and stable risk adjusted return to our investors.
Recent Developments
Additional Closings of Regulation
A Offering
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, we sold
an aggregate of 92,640 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for total gross proceeds of $956,400 under the Regulation A offering
described below. After deducting a placement fee and other expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $889,452. We also
issued 3,900 shares of Common Stock to early investors.
Countryside Acquisition
On January 7, 2020, MHP Pursuits LLC, our
wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with J & A Real Estate LLC, or J&A, for the purchase
of a manufactured housing community known as Countryside Estates Mobile Home Park, which is located in Lancaster, North Carolina
and totals 110 sites, for a total purchase price of $3.7 million. On March 12, 2020, the closing was completed and our newly formed
wholly owned subsidiary Countryside MHP LLC, or Countryside, purchased the property.
In connection with the closing, on March
12, 2020, Countryside issued a promissory note to J&A in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The remainder of the purchase
price, or $700,000, was paid in cash. The note bears interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum, or the maximum rate allowed by applicable
law, and is due and payable in full on March 20, 2050. Payments for the first twelve (12) months of the term of the note shall
be interest-only in the amount of $13,750 per month. Thereafter, principal and interest, in the amount of $17,201 per month, shall
be due and payable based upon a thirty (30) year amortization. If any monthly payment is not received by J&A within fifteen
(15) days after the applicable due date, Countryside must pay a late charge in an amount equal to the delinquent amount then due
multiplied by 4%. Countryside may prepay the note, in whole or in party, at any time without penalty.
The note also contains customary events
of default, including: (i) if Countryside shall be in default in the payment of any principal, interest or other amount due under
the note and such default shall not be cured within five (5) days after written notice from J&A; (ii) if Countryside shall
be in default in the performance of any non-monetary obligation in the note and such default shall not be cured within thirty (30)
days after written notice from J&A; or (iii) if Countryside shall default in the due observation or performance of any covenant,
condition or agreement contained in the mortgage described below and such default shall not be cured within thirty (30) days after
written notice from J&A. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest on the aggregate outstanding indebtedness (including
accrued interest) of the note shall increase to 5.5% per annum plus the U.S. Prime Rate as measured and reported by the Wall Street
Journal and in effect on the date of default, until such aggregate indebtedness is paid in full.
The note is secured by a mortgage, assignment
of rents and leases, security agreement and fixture filing with respect to the property. The mortgage contains customary representations,
warranties and covenants by Countryside and remedies upon an event of default under the note.
Evergreen Acquisition
On January 1, 2020, MHP Pursuits LLC, our
wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Evergreen Marketing LLC for the purchase of a manufactured
housing community known as Evergreen Pointe Mobile Home Park, which is located in Dandridge, Tennessee and totals 65 sites, for
a total purchase price of $1,438,000. On March 17, 2020, the closing was completed and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary
Evergreen MHP LLC, or Evergreen, purchased the property.
In connection with the closing, on March
17, 2020, Evergreen entered into a loan agreement with Hunt Mortgage Capital, LLC, or the Lender, for a loan in the principal amount
of $1,150,000 and Evergreen issued a promissory note to the Lender in the principal amount of $1,150,000. The remainder of the
purchase price, or $288,000, was paid in cash.
The note bears interest at a rate of 3.99%
per annum and is due and payable on April 1, 2032. The monthly payments under the note are equal to $5,483.65. If any monthly payment
is not received by the Lender within ten (10) days after the applicable due date, Evergreen must pay a late charge in an amount
equal to the delinquent amount then due multiplied by 5%. Furthermore, if any payment remains past due for thirty (30) days or
more, interest on such unpaid amounts shall accrue at the lesser of 7.99% or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Evergreen
may prepay the note in full, but not in part, at any time if it pays a prepayment premium calculated in accordance with the loan
agreement.
The note is secured by the property and
guaranteed by Mr. Raymond M. Gee, our Chief Executive Officer, Gvest Capital Real Estate LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Gee,
and our company (which we collectively refer to as the Guarantors).
The loan agreement was subject to customary closing conditions
and contains customary representations and warranties. The loan agreement also contains customary financial and other covenants
for a loan of this type. The loan agreement also contains customary events of default, some of which are subject to cure periods
as set forth in the loan agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) any failure by Evergreen to pay or deposit when due any
amount required by the note, the loan agreement or any other loan document (as defined in the loan agreement); (ii) any failure
by Evergreen to maintain the insurance coverage required by any loan document; (iii) if any warranty, representation, certification,
or statement of Evergreen or any Guarantor in the loan agreement or any of the other loan documents is false inaccurate, or misleading
in any material respect when made; (iv) the fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or material misrepresentation or material
omission by or on behalf of Evergreen or any Guarantor or any of their officers, directors, trustees, partners, members, or managers
in connection with the application for, or creation of, the loan or any financial statement, rent roll, or other report or information
provided to Lender during the term of the loan; (v) the occurrence of any transfer (as defined in the loan agreement) not permitted
by the loan documents; (vi) the occurrence of a bankruptcy event (as defined in the loan agreement); (vii) if a Guarantor is a
natural person, the death of such individual, unless certain requirements set forth in the loan agreement are met; (viii) the occurrence
of a guarantor bankruptcy event (as defined in the loan agreement), unless certain requirements of the loan agreement are met;
(ix) any failure by Evergreen or a Guarantor to comply with certain covenants in the loan agreement; or (x) any failure by Evergreen
to perform any of its obligations under the loan agreement or any loan document as and when required.
Repayment of Metrolina Note
In February 2020, we repaid $1,000,000
of principal and accrued interest on the Metrolina promissory note referred to below.
Loan
Refinancing
On April 1, 2020, we refinanced the
loans for Butternut MHP Land LLC described below with the existing lender to increase the loan amount to $1,388,019 and to extend
the maturity date to April 10, 2025. In addition, the interest rate was changed to 6% per annum, provided that on April 10, 2023
and thereafter, the interest rate shall be equal to (i) the per annum rate of interest identified as the “Prime Rate”
as published in the monthly rates section of the Wall Street Journal plus (ii) 1% per annum, adjusted as the first day of each

Revenues. For the year ended
December 31, 2019, we had total revenues of $3,021,691, as compared to $2,000,312 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase
of $1,021,379, or 51.06%. The increase was primarily due to $867,180 of rental income from the acquisition of five manufactured
housing communities during 2019. The remaining increase was due to an average 7% increase in occupancy and rental rate increases,
and $4,900 related to home sales, and we also recorded $48,319 of property management revenues from a related party in 2019.
Community Operating Expenses. For the year ended
December 31, 2019, we had total community operating expenses of $1,149,788, as compared to $676,381 for the year ended December
31, 2018, an increase of $473,407. The increase in community operating expenses was primarily due $319,072 of expenses from the
acquisition of five manufactured housing communities during 2019. Excluding the acquisitions, our community operating expenses
increased resulting from an increase in repair and maintenance costs of $87,960 from prior year.
Corporate Payroll and Overhead Expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had corporate payroll and overhead expenses of $1,253,383, as compared to $1,030,527 for
the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $222,856, or 21.63%. This increase was primarily due to stock compensation expense
of $349,950 during 2019 compared to $171,500 during 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had depreciation and amortization expense of $786,179, as compared to $534,290 for the
year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $251,889, or 47.14%. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of five manufactured
housing communities during 2019.
Interest Expense. For the
year ended December 31, 2019, we had interest expense of $1,312,469, as compared to $1,001,455 for the year ended December 31,
2018, an increase of $311,014, or 31.06%. The increase was primarily related to the five additional loans related to the five acquisitions
of manufactured housing communities during 2019.
Refinancing Costs. During
the year ended December 31, 2019, we refinanced a total of $4,920,750 from our current loans payable to $8,241,000 of new notes
payable from five of our communities, resulting in an additional loan payable of $3,320,859. We used the additional loans payable
proceeds from the refinance to retire our related party note payable of $2,754,550 plus accrued interest. As of December 31, 2019,
we wrote off refinancing cost totaling $552,272.
Net Loss. The factors described
above resulted in a net loss of $2,038,747 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $1,296,393 for the year ended December
31, 2018, an increase of $788,120, or 63.02%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and
cash equivalents of $4,146,411. The ability of our company to continue its operations is dependent on management’s plans,
which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing
sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
We will require additional funding to finance
the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. We believe that our current
available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future. There can be no
assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Our working capital has been used in operating
activities, a related party revolving note and proceeds from our Regulation A offering described below. We plan to meet our short-term
liquidity requirements of approximately $1,577,513 for the next twelve months, generally through available cash as well as net
cash provided by operating activities and availability under the existing $1.5 million revolving note described below, of which
$797,906 was outstanding as of December 31, 2019. We also have availability from lenders under loan agreements for capital expenditure
needs on acquisitions. We expect these resources to help us meet operating working capital requirements.

Regulation A Offering
On November 1, 2019, we launched an offering

shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $10,000,000. In addition,
we are offering bonus shares to early investors in this offering, whereby the first 400 investors will receive, in addition to
Series B Preferred Stock, 100 shares of Common Stock, regardless of the amount invested, for a total of 40,000 shares of Common

As of December 31, 2019, we sold an aggregate

expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $3,796,673. We also issued 15,400 shares of Common Stock to early investors

Secured Promissory Notes
We have issued promissory notes payable
to lenders related to the acquisition of our manufactured housing communities. These promissory notes range from 4.5% to 7.0% with
20 to 25 years principal amortization. Two of the promissory notes had an initial 6 months period on interest only payments. The
promissory notes are secured by the real estate assets and $3,004,119 for three assets were guaranteed by Raymond M. Gee, our chairman,
chief executive officer and owner of the principal stockholder of our company.
During the year ended December 31, 2019,
we refinanced a total of $4,940,750 from current loans payable to $8,241,000 of new notes payable from five of the communities,

the related party note payable described below. As of December 31, 2019, we wrote off mortgage costs of $68,195 and capitalized
$275,519 of mortgage costs due to the refinancing.

Metrolina Promissory Note
On May 8, 2017, we issued a promissory
note to Metrolina Loan Holdings, LLC, or Metrolina, in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The note is interest only payment based
on 8%, and 10% deferred until maturity to be paid with principal balance. The note originally awarded Metrolina 455,000 shares
of Common Stock as consideration, which resulted in making Metrolina a related party due to its significant ownership. During
the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid off the entire balance on the note of $2,754,550 plus interest and amended the agreement
to allow for the redeployment of the $3,000,000 available, eliminated the conversion option whereby Metrolina could convert the
ratio of total outstanding debt at time of exercise of the option into an amount of newly issued shares of our Common Stock determined
by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $3,000,000 multiplied by 10% with a cap of 864,500 shares. The amendment resulted
in issuing an additional 545,000 shares with a fair value of $305,200 for a total of 1,000,000 shares awarded to Metrolina. The
note gives Metrolina the right and option to purchase its pro rata share of debt or equity securities issued to maintain up to
10% equity interest in our company at the most recent price of any equity transaction for seven years from the amendment dated
February 26, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the balance on this note was $1,730,000. The note is guaranteed by Mr. Gee.
Revolving Promissory Note
On October 1, 2017, we issued a revolving
promissory note to Raymond M. Gee, our chairman and chief executive officer, pursuant to which we may borrow up to $1,500,000 from
Mr. Gee on a revolving basis for working capital purposes. This note has a five-year term with no annual interest and principal
payment is deferred until the maturity date. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on this note was $797,906. During
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded imputed interest related to the note of $87,577 and $44,695, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2019, we had no off-balance
sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined
as those that involve significant judgment and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions
and conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies are affected by our more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. We
follow Topic 606 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, for
revenue recognition and Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-09. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, which is a comprehensive
new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to
a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We consider
revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) identification of the contract with
a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4)
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as)
we satisfy a performance obligation. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09,
while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was no
impact to revenues as a result of applying ASU 2014-09 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and there have not been any significant
changes to our business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. We recognize rental
income revenues on a monthly basis based on the terms of the lease agreement which are for either the land or a combination of
both, the mobile home and land. Home sales revenues are recognized upon the sale of a home with an executed sales agreement. We
have deferred revenues from home lease purchase options and records those option fees as deferred revenues and then record them
as revenues when (1) the lease purchase option term is completed and title has been transferred, or (2) the leaseholder defaults
on the lease terms resulting in a termination of the agreement which allows us to keep any payments as liquidated damages. We
record an allowance for bad debts as rental income is probable not to be collected. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
our allowance for doubtful accounts was $10,117 and $59,657, respectively.
Acquisitions. We account
for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and allocate the purchase price of the property
based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements
and rental homes. We allocate the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as
third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.
Investment Property and Equipment
and Depreciation. Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation for sites and building is computed principally
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 15 to 25 years). Depreciation of improvements
to sites and buildings, rental homes and equipment and vehicles is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets (ranging from 3 to 25 years). Land development costs are not depreciated until they are put in use,
at which time they are capitalized as sites and land improvements. Interest expense pertaining to land development costs are capitalized.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated
depreciation of property sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statement and any gain or loss is reflected
in the current year’s results of operations.
Impairment Policy. We apply
FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant & Equipment,” to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties
are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected
future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying value under its
historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects
as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred,
rental properties are reduced to their fair value. For properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the
fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time
there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported
at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property
is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded.
Stock-Based Compensation.
All stock based payments to employees, nonemployee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including
any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements
of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Stock based
payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value
at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that
vest immediately and are nonforfeitable the measurement date is the date the award is issued. We recorded stock option expense
of $4,774 and $69 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
We follow paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37
of the FASB ASC to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value
measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value into broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU
2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier
recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is
effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15,
2019. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
“Leases.” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to
recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified
retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option
to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
Early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the impact this standard had on the consolidated financial statements and determined
that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07
“Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This
ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this ASU expands the scope of Topic 718 to
include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s
own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to (1) financing
to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted
for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value
of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the good or service has been delivered or rendered and all
other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be
effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that
fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim
periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s
adoption of Topic 606. We have evaluated the impact this standard had on the consolidated financial statements and determined that
it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other
recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange
Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of
December 31, 2019. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined
that, because of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Annual Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting refers
to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting
officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP,
and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
(1)
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
|
(2)
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
the authorization of our management and directors; and
|
|
(3)
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Our management evaluated the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this evaluation, management used the framework
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including
(i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.
Based on our evaluation, we determined that, as of December 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective
due to the following material weaknesses.
|
●
|
We lack proper segregation of duties due to the limited number of employees within the accounting
department.
|
|
●
|
We lack effective closing procedures.
|
To mitigate the current limited resources
and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting
professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation
of duties within the internal control framework.
In order to cure the foregoing material
weakness, we have taken or plan to take the following remediation measures:
|
●
|
We have implemented dual signatures and approvals on all payments.
|
|
●
|
We have added and plan to continue to add additional employees to assist in the financial closing
procedures.
|
|
●
|
As necessary, we will continue to engage consultants or outside accounting firms in order to ensure
proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.
|
We intend to complete the remediation of
the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing
and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react
to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial
reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take
may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures
may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are
committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.
All internal control systems, no matter
how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial
Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal
control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while
ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more
efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
Other than in connection with the implementation
of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
|
ITEM 9B.
|
OTHER INFORMATION.
|
We have no information to disclose that
was required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, but was not reported.

The
Company originally acquired a 75% interest. In January 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest from a related party.

All
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have a majority or minority
interest in any other company, either consolidated or unconsolidated.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company follows Topic 606 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) for revenue recognition and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09. On January 1, 2018, the
Company adopted ASU 2014-09, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in
a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be
received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the
five following criteria are met: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations
in the contract, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract, and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Results for reporting
periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue
to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was no impact to revenues as a result of applying ASU 2014-09 for
the year ended December 31, 2019, and there have not been any significant changes to the Company’s business processes, systems,
or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard.
Acquisitions
The
Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and allocates the purchase
price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements,
buildings and improvements and rental homes. The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined
by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.
Investment
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property
and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation for sites and building is computed principally on the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 15 to 25 years). Depreciation of improvements to sites and buildings, rental
homes and equipment and vehicles is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
(ranging from 3 to 25 years). Land development costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized
as sites and land improvements. Interest expense pertaining to land development costs are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of property
sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statement and any gain or loss is reflected in the current year’s
results of operations.
Impairment
Policy
The
Company applies FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant & Equipment,” to measure impairment in real estate investments.
Rental properties are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that
the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying
value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating income,
trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. Upon determination that a permanent
impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to their fair value. For properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss
is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property
measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be
disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to
the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded.
Stock-Based
Compensation
All
stock based payments to employees, nonemployee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including
any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements
of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Stock based
payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value
at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that
vest immediately and are nonforfeitable the measurement date is the date the award is issued. The Company recorded stock option
expense of $4,774 and $69 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph
820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability
in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority
to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
Net
Loss per Share
Basic and diluted loss per
share amounts are computed based on net loss divided the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted
average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method. Total
dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 total totaled 2,299,722 and 0 convertible shares, respectively,
and options of 659,175 and 541,334, respectively, which were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because
the assumed conversion and exercise would be anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Management
Estimates
The presentation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported period . Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain
2018 balances have been reclassified in the 2019 financial statement presentation. The reclassification of loan costs did not
have any effects on the financial statements.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of these financial statements, cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of less
than three months.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash
and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times,
such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Currently our operating accounts are approximately $2,553,454 above
the FDIC limit.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss”
model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit
losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability
of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within
those periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have
on the consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease
accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor
accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after,
the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact this standard had
on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee
Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment
in this ASU expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or
services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based
payment awards that relate to (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services
to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments
are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the good or service
has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have
been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted,
but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of Topic 606. The Company has evaluated the impact this standard had on the consolidated
financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material
effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE

Secured
Promissory Notes
The
Company has issued promissory notes payable to lenders related to the acquisition of its manufactured housing communities. These
promissory notes range from 4.5% to 7.0% with 20 to 25 years principal amortization. Two of the promissory notes had an initial
6 months period on interest only payments. The promissory notes are secured by the real estate assets and $6,344,894 for three
assets were guaranteed by Raymond M. Gee, the Company’s chairman, chief executive officer and owner of the principal stockholder
of the Company.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company refinanced a total of $4,940,750 from current loans payable to $8,241,000 of new
notes payable from five of the communities, resulting in an additional loan payable of $3,320,859. The Company used the additional
loans payable proceeds from the refinance to retire the related party note payable described below. As of December 31, 2019, the
Company wrote off mortgage costs of $68,280 and capitalized $608,541 of mortgage costs due to the refinancing. As of December
31, 2019, the outstanding balance on these notes was $8,134,996. The following are terms of these notes:

Related
Party Promissory Note
On
May 8, 2017, the Company issued a promissory note to Metrolina Loan Holdings, LLC (“Metrolina”) in the principal amount
of $3,000,000. The note is interest only payment based on 8%, and 10% deferred until maturity to be paid with principal balance.
The note originally awarded Metrolina 455,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration, which resulted in making Metrolina a related
party due to its significant ownership. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid off the entire balance on the
note of $2,754,550 plus interest and amended the agreement to allow for the redeployment of the $3,000,000 available, eliminated
the conversion option whereby Metrolina could convert the ratio of total outstanding debt at time of exercise of the option into
an amount of newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $3,000,000
multiplied by 10% with a cap of 864,500 shares. The amendment resulted in issuing an additional 545,000 shares with a fair value
of $305,200 for a total of 1,000,000 shares awarded to Metrolina. The note gives Metrolina the right and option to purchase its
pro rata share of debt or equity securities issued to maintain up to 10% equity interest in the Company at the most recent price
of any equity transaction for seven years from the amendment dated February 26, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the balance on
this note was $1,730,000. The related party note is guaranteed by Mr. Gee.
Revolving
Promissory Note
On
October 1, 2017, the Company issued a revolving promissory note to Raymond M. Gee, the Company’s chairman and chief executive
officer, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $1,500,000 from Mr. Gee on a revolving basis for working capital purposes.
This note has a five-year term with no annual interest and principal payment is deferred until the maturity date. As of December
31, 2019, the outstanding balance on this note was $797,906. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded
imputed interest related to the note of $87,577 and $44,695, respectively.

NOTE
5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From
time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of
business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise
that may harm its business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that they believe will
have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.
NOTE
6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value.
Series
A Preferred Stock
On
May 8, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to which the Company designated
4,000,000 shares of its preferred stock as Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
The Series A Preferred Stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations
or restrictions:
Ranking.
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior
to the Common Stock.
Dividend
Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all
holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends
in the amount of $0.017 per share each month, which is equivalent to the rate of 8% of the $2.50 liquidation preference per share.
Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of the Company’s agreements prohibit
the current payment of dividends or the Company does not have earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid
dividends of $125,700.
Liquidation
Preference. The liquidation preference for each share of Series A Preferred Stock is $2.50. Upon a liquidation, dissolution

NOTE
7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On
October 1, 2017, the Company issued a revolving promissory note to Raymond M. Gee, the Company’s chairman and chief executive
officer, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $1,500,000 from Mr. Gee on a revolving basis for working capital purposes.
This note has a five-year term with no annual interest and principal payment is deferred until the maturity date. As of December
31, 2019, the outstanding balance on this note was $797,906. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded
imputed interest related to the note of $87,577 and $44,695, respectively.
On May 8, 2017, the Company issued a promissory
note to Metrolina in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The note is interest only payment based on 8%, and 10% deferred until
maturity to be paid with principal balance. The note originally awarded Metrolina 455,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration,
which resulted in making Metrolina a related party due to its significant ownership. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the
Company paid off the entire balance on the note of $2,754,550 plus interest and amended the agreement to allow for the redeployment
of the $3,000,000 available, eliminated the conversion option whereby Metrolina could convert the ratio of total outstanding debt
at time of exercise of the option into an amount of newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing
the outstanding indebtedness by $3,000,000 multiplied by 10% with a cap of 864,500 shares. The amendment resulted in issuing an
additional 545,000 shares with a fair value of $305,200 for a total of 1,000,000 shares awarded to Metrolina. The note gives Metrolina
the right and option to purchase its pro rata share of debt or equity securities issued to maintain up to 10% equity interest in
the Company at the most recent price of any equity transaction for seven years from the amendment dated February 26, 2019. As of
December 31, 2019, the balance on this note was $1,730,000. The related party note is guaranteed by Mr. Gee.
In
January 2019, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity controlled by Mr.
Gee, to acquire the 25% minority interest in Pecan Grove, which were valued at the historical cost value of $537,562.
During the year ended December 31, 2019,
the Company entered into an office lease agreement with Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC for the lease of its offices. The lease is
$4,000 per month and is on a month-to-month term. Total rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $16,000.
During the years ended December 31, 2019
and 2018, the Company recorded $48,319 and $4,000, respectively in revenues related to property management consulting services
provided to Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, Mr. Gee received a $50,000 fee for his personal guarantee on a promissory note relating to a
loan for one of our acquisitions. The fee was recorded as a loan cost and is amortized over the five year life of the loan.
NOTE
8 – INCOME TAXES
On
December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) that significantly reforms
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The TCJA, among other things, contains
significant changes to corporate taxation, including a reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to
a flat rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; a limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense; a limitation of the
deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in
each case, for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 (though any such tax losses may be carried forward
indefinitely); modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits, including reducing the business tax credit for certain
clinical testing expenses incurred in the testing of certain drugs for rare diseases or conditions generally referred to as “orphan
drugs”; and repeal of the federal Alternative Minimum Tax.
At
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had deferred tax assets principally arising from the net operating loss carry forwards
for income tax purposes multiplied by the Federal statutory tax rate of 21%. As management of the Company cannot determine that
it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred
tax asset has been established at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company
had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,057,500 and $1,492,600, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance
for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $403,987 and $275,525, respectively.
The
significant components of the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
