Capstone is pleased to present the North Dakota MHC
Portfolio. This offering features 338 sites across 4 communities: Devils
Lake, Minot, Grafton, and Larimore. Named after the cities they are located in;
the parks span the state of North Dakota. The portfolio benefits from
operational efficiencies, such as public utilities and a low number of
park-owned homes. The inventory homes make up only 8.6% of the portfolio,
greatly reducing repairs and management oversight costs. Furthermore, the
residents at each community pay for their utility usage through direct-billing
or submetering and a flat fee for trash. The current water & sewer system
has room for improvement for a new owner. Current ownership did not maintain a
large operating footprint in these ND markets, and therefore, leaks were not
detected quickly enough, leading to lost recapture opportunities. The lean management
team in these markets also missed opportunities to properly winterize some
vacant homes, which contributed to lower recapture rates. An operator with more
dedicated resources locally will be able to respond to the unique challenges
that the ND climate presents for water and sewer systems. Additionally, the
portfolio is operating at 71% occupancy, and with 20 vacant park-owned homes to
fill, this would increase ERI by $107,000 at the current lot rents. This
offering presents the opportunity to acquire a mid-sized portfolio in North
Dakota with public utilities and value-add components.
