We will, of course, tie it all into manufactured housing!
If you’re new, already hooked on our new spotlight feature – or are ready to get the MH professional fever – our headline report is found further below, after the newsmaker bullets and major indexes closing tickers.
The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets. Headlines – at home and abroad – often move the markets. So, this is an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©
Part of this unique evening feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – which saves busy readers time, while underscoring topics that may be moving investors, which in turn move the markets.
Readers say this is also a useful quick-review tool that saves researchers time in getting a handle of the manufactured housing industry, through the lens of publicly-traded stocks connected with the manufactured home industry.
This is an exclusive evening or nightly example of MH “Industry News, Tips and Views, Pros Can Use.” © It is fascinating to see just how similar, and different, these two lists of headlines can be.

Today’s Big Movers

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Listen carefully to what is said during this video. Only about 1 out of 10 millennials can buy a house in some cities, in the ones listed, about 1 in 4 can. The vast majority of these could buy if they were able to place a HUD Code manufactured home on vacant city lots, which has been done in other major metro areas with success.
The Arlington, VA based Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) managed today to get another message out for their fundraising meeting next week. But even though they had SVP Lesli Gooch, Ph.D., at that MHCC Washington, D.C. meeting we reported on early today that was visited by HUD Secretary Carson, the large MHI association staff apparently did not have time to let the industry know about Secretary Carson’s pro-manufactured housing comments. Why not?
ICYMI, see the linked text image box below.
Only MHProNews brought you that exclusive report, thanks to 3 insider tips. We bumped another story to run that one.
What’s wrong in manufactured housing is that too few are questioning the leadership of the Omaha-Knoxville-Arlington axis. Warren Buffett’s Omaha based Berkshire Hathaway arguably could grow the manufactured home industry. Buffett has the media contacts, right? The Berkshire owned BH Media group could do it, if they wanted to, correct? Plus, given the wonder of Google, Bing, or Yahoo News, the right effort would over time win hundreds of thousands over, and then millions.
But instead, with John Oliver’s video ruling – thanks in part to funding from Buffett via dark money nonprofits – is proof once more that the truth can be stranger than fiction. Given there are billions in opportunities, why are so many big boy MHI members silent on what’s happening?
So as a result, millennials are turning to other cities, and whatever conventional housing they should be buying. And as a result, investors in several MHI member publicly traded companies who are in on it or aren’t fighting back are arguably robbing investors of far higher rewards.
A few will benefit, long term. But many are being de facto cheated in a purportedly rigged game. Millions of potential housing owners are among them. So too are industry pros, and investors.
So these are the headlines from CNBC.
The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) is a fraction of MHI’s size and budget. But they are taking on some of these issues.
“Lead, Follow … Or Get Out of The Way” | Manufactured Housing Association Regulatory Reform
The last decade-plus has not been especially kind to the manufactured housing industry and consumers of affordable housing. The 21 stCentury began with a great deal of promise for the industry and consumers alike.
MHARR Calls on HUD Secretary to End Discriminatory And Exclusionary Zoning of HUD-Regulated Manufactured Homes | Manufactured Housing Association Regulatory Reform
Washington, D.C., April 30, 2019 – The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) in an April 24, 2019 communication to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary, Ben Carson (copy attached), has called on the Department to federally preempt local zoning ordinances which discriminatorily exclude manufactured homes regulated by HUD pursuant to the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 and the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000.
The National Association of Manufactured Housing Community Owners broke with MHI, because of their failures to perform.
Say, what are those plaintiffs shareholders attorneys for Cavco doing for others in MHVille? Have they looked yet?
That’s our food for thought for industry pros. By the way, if you are an investor only, let me tell you. Our sources tell us that the big boys are on our site day by day. MHI has an outside attorney who is on our site to check our reports. We’ve invited the powers that be to refute or respond to our concerns. Silence.
They have the right to remain silent.
Investors have the right to get vocal.
