LP's Manufactured Housing Overview
How We Deliver Value
We understand the nuances of due diligence in this niche. Due diligence for manufactured housing deals often involves evaluating existing infrastructure and inventory, understanding applicable zoning laws, and identifying potential insurance challenges, in addition to conducting general financial and market analysis. Our significant experience in this space prepares our clients to make prudent investing decisions.
We staff for efficiency. Every member of our team, from the partners to the paralegals, is highly experienced with the distinct lines of business involved in manufactured housing, including lease
agreements, sales of homes, and consumer financing. Our team hits the ground running on every matter. Partners advise on high-level strategy, and associates and paralegals facilitate the production and
execution of key documents to ensure our clients receive excellent value throughout the representation.
Our practice is truly national. The LP team represents manufactured housing clients across the country. We are familiar with the state-by-state rules and nuances of regional manufactured housing markets, and our strong relationships with local counsel and advisors in each of these states ensure our clients always receive up-to-date advising. For clients with holdings in multiple markets, our team provides continuity and comprehensive advising tailored to the unique aspects of each location and business goal.
