REIT Talk with Ed Robinson on the Affordable Homeownership Pathway

Our Mission is to provide 555 homes for affordable buyers in Florida, during the next 6 years.  Helping each person realize the start of his/her own personal American Dream Journey.  

The lack of affordable single-family homes and apartments is a difficult reality for residents across the State of Florida.  National Affordable Homeownership Coalition (NAHC) is spotlighting the innovative ways we will boost the supply of affordable housing for low and moderate-income families.

It’s time to forget the old perceptions of factory-built homes. Today’s innovative manufactured and modular housing features the traditional home aesthetic at a greatly reduced price. Manufactured housing is 35%–47% less expensive than traditional housing, it meets federal building standards, and blends in seamlessly with site-built homes. Modular housing is built in half the time, cutting construction costs and the amount of waste. Jonathan Lawless, vice president of product development and affordable housing at Fannie Mae, said, “You don’t often see $100,000, $150,000, $200,000 homes because it’s hard to build at that price point. But manufactured and modular housing really addresses that market need. Factories could be pumping out homes with consistency and at a high quality.”
