                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                                    --------


OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto. Capitalized terms are used as
defined elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, income before minority interests
increased by 16.7 percent from $8.9 million to $10.4 million, when compared to
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase was due to increased
revenues of $2.8 million while expenses increased by $1.3 million.

Income from property increased by $1.7 million from $31.4 million to $33.1
million, or 5.6 percent, due primarily to rent increases and other community
revenues ($1.8 million), lease up of manufactured home sites including new
developments ($0.7 million), and acquisitions ($0.6 million), offset by a
revenue reduction of $1.3 million due to the sale of four communities during
1999.

Other income increased by $1.0 million from $1.7 million to $2.7 million due
primarily to a $1.4 million increase in interest and other income offset by a
reduction of $0.4 million of income from affiliates.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.3 million from $6.9
million to $7.2 million, or 4.7 percent, due primarily to acquisitions and
timing.

Real estate taxes remained constant at $2.2 million for both periods.

Property management expenses increased by $0.1 million from $0.6 million to $0.7
million representing 2.2 percent and 1.9 percent of income from property in 2000
and 1999, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million from $0.9 million
to $1.0 million, representing 2.9 percent and 2.8 percent of total revenues in
2000 and 1999, respectively.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased by $2.2 million from $22.5 million to $24.7 million. EBITDA as a
percent of revenues increased to 68.8 percent in 2000 compared to 68.0 percent
in 1999.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.7 million from $6.9 million to
$7.6 million, or 9.6 percent due primarily to acquisitions and development of
communities in 1999.

Interest expense remained constant at $6.7 million for both periods.

On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $1.3 million from $23.4
million to $24.7 million, or 5.7 percent, due primarily to increases in rents
and occupancy related charges including water and property tax pass through.
Also contributing to revenue growth was the increase of 647 leased sites at
March 31, 2000 compared to March 31, 1999.

Property operating expenses increased by $0.4 million from $6.0 million to $6.4
million or 6.1 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs. Property EBITDA
increased by $1.0 million from $17.3 million to $18.3 million, or 5.6 percent.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                                    --------



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.2 million to $12.5 million at March
31, 2000 compared to $11.3 million at December 31, 1999 because cash provided by
operating and financing activities exceeded cash used in investing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $0.1 million to $17.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $17.4 million for
the same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to other assets
increasing by $0.9 million offset by a $0.9 million increase in income before
minority interests and depreciation and amortization.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $10.5 million to $28.1
million from $38.6 million primarily due to a reduction of $ 20.5 million used
to finance notes receivable and a $6.2 million decrease in rental property
acquisition activities offset by a $16.2 million increase in investments in and
advances to affiliates.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $1.5 million to $12.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $13.5 million for
the same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily because of a $1.0 million
reduction in borrowings on the line of credit and distributions increasing by
$0.4 million.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its working capital provided by operating activities. The Company
expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt
maturities and property acquisitions through the issuance of equity or debt
securities, or interests in the Operating Partnership. The Company considers
these sources to be adequate and anticipates they will continue to be adequate
to meet operating requirements, capital improvements, investment in development,
and payment of distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements
in both the short and long term. The Company may also meet these short-term and
long-term requirements by utilizing its $125 million line of credit which bears
interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and is due January 1, 2003. See "Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

At March 31, 2000, the Company's debt to total market capitalization
approximated 38.1% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to
shares of common stock), with a weighted average maturity of approximately 4.9
years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.1%.

Recurring capital expenditures approximated $1.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000.

OTHER
Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as "net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." Industry
analysts consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the operating
performance of an equity REIT primarily because the computation of FFO excludes
historical cost depreciation as an expense and thereby facilitates the
comparison of REITs which have different cost bases in their assets. Historical
cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real
estate assets diminishes predictably over time, whereas real estate values have
instead historically risen or fallen based upon market conditions. FFO does not
represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles and is a supplemental measure of performance that does not replace
net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, FFO is not intended as a
measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash
requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. The following table
calculates FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 (in
thousands):

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                                    --------


OTHER CONTINUED:
Year 2000 Update

In February 2000, the Company officially concluded its Year 2000 compliance
program as no events had occurred that significantly affected either the
Company's operation or its financial statements.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the
Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe
harbors created thereby. The words "may", "will", "expect", "believe",
"anticipate", "should", "estimate", and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance,
but are based upon current assumptions regarding the Company's operations,
future results and prospects, and are subject to many uncertainties and factors
relating to the Company's operations and business environment which may cause
the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Please see the
section entitled "Risk Factors" of the Company's Registration Statement on Form
S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2000 for a
list of uncertainties and factors.

Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) changes in the
general economic climate; (ii) increased competition in the geographic areas in
which the Company owns and operates manufactured housing communities; (iii)
changes in government laws and regulations affecting manufactured housing
communities; and (iv) the ability of the Company to continue to identify,
negotiate and acquire manufactured housing communities and/or vacant land which
may be developed into manufactured housing communities on terms favorable to the
Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. This statement will be effective
January 1, 2001. There is no effect from the application of SFAS 133 on the
earnings and financial position of the Company as the Company had no derivative
instruments at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999.
