                     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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, income before distribution to Preferred
OP Units increased by 17.9 percent from $17.7 million to $20.8 million, when
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was due to
increased revenues of $6.3 million while expenses increased by $3.2 million.
Income from property increased by $4.1 million from $62.0 million to $66.1
million, or 6.7 percent, due primarily to rent increases and other community
revenues ($3.2 million), lease up of manufactured home sites including new
developments ($1.8 million), and acquisitions ($1.5 million), offset by a
revenue reduction of $2.4 million due to the sale of four communities during
1999.

Other income increased by $2.2 million from $3.8 million to $6.0 million due
primarily to an increase in interest income.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.6 million from $13.3
million to $13.9 million, or 4.4 percent, due primarily to acquisitions.

Real estate taxes increased by $0.1 million from $4.4 million to $4.5 million
primarily due to acquisitions and changes in property tax assessments.

Property management expenses increased by $0.2 million from $1.2 million to $1.4
million representing 2.2 percent and 2.0 percent of income from property in 2000
and 1999, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million from $1.9 million
to $2.1 million, representing 2.8 percent of total revenues in 2000 and 1999.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased by $5.3 million from $44.9 million to $50.2 million. EBITDA as a
percent of revenues increased to 69.6 percent in 2000 compared to 68.3 percent
in 1999.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.2 million from $14.0 million to
$15.2 million, or 8.6 percent, due primarily to acquisitions and development of
communities in 2000 and 1999.

Interest expense increased by $0.9 million from $13.3 million to $14.2 million,
or 6.7 percent, due primarily to investment in rental property and investment in
and advances to affiliates.

increased revenues of $3.3 million while expenses increased by $1.6 million.

Income from property increased by $2.4 million from $30.6 million to $33.0
million, or 7.8 percent, due primarily to rent increases and other community

developments ($1.1 million), and acquisitions ($0.9 million), offset by a
revenue reduction of $1.1 million due to the sale of four communities during
1999.

Other income increased by $0.9 million from $2.2 million to $3.1 million due
primarily to an increase in interest income.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.3 million from $6.4

9.8 percent, due primarily to investment in rental property and investment in

development owned through joint ventures.

On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $2.6 million from $47.1
million to $49.7 million, or 5.5 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 569 leased sites at June
30, 2000 compared to June 30, 1999.

Property operating expenses increased by $0.7 million from $12.0 million to
$12.7 million or 5.9 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs. Property
EBITDA increased by $1.9 million from $35.1 million to $37.0 million, or 5.4
percent.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.6 million to $6.7 million at June 30,
2000 compared to $11.3 million at December 31, 1999 because cash used in
investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating and financing
activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4.5 million to $29.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $24.6 million for the
same period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to a $2.8 million change in
accounts payable and other liabilities and other assets and a $1.7 million
increase in earnings attributable to OP Units before depreciation and
amortization.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $7.8 million to $56.5 million
from $48.7 million primarily due to a $15.2 million increase in investment in
and advances to affiliates and a $7.2 million increase in rental property
acquisition activities offset by a $14.6 million decrease in investments in
notes receivable, net.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $5.1 million to $22.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $17.6 million for the
same period in 1999. This increase was primarily because of a $7.0 million
increase in borrowings on the line of credit offset by a $1.2 million reduction
in proceeds from common stock and operating partnership units and a $0.9 million
increase in distributions.

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 debt securities, or
general or limited partnership interests. 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 June 30, 2000, the Company's debt to total market capitalization ratio
approximated 36.5% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units
into shares of common stock), with a weighted average maturity of approximately
5.3 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.2%.

Recurring capital expenditures approximated $2.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



OTHER

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. Such
uncertainties and factors include the ability of manufactured home buyers to
obtain financing, the level of repossessions by manufactured home lenders, and
those referenced in 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.

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 June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.
