5.     Subsequent Event:
       -----------------


       On October 19, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Greenpark
       South, a community located in Alabama with 315 homesites and
       approximately 76 expandable sites, for approximately $8.7 million.

       In order to finance this acquisition, as well as increased advances to
       its affiliates, the Company entered into a $15 million bridge loan. This
       bridge loan is with its primary lender, Bank One NA, bears interest at
       6.71% and matures on November 29, 1999. The Company expects its
       affiliates to repay advances sufficient to retire the bridge loan at
       maturity.

factors, including site expansions, acquisitions, development and other new
business initiatives that are subject to a number of contingency factors such as
the effects of national and local economic conditions, changes in interest
rates, supply and demand for affordable housing and the condition of the capital
markets that may prevent the Company from achieving its objectives.

Comparison of three months ended September 30, 1999 to three months ended
September 30, 1998

For the three months ended September 30, 1999, net income was $10,909,000 an
increase of $2,497,000 from the three months ended September 30, 1998.  The
increase was due primarily to increased net operating income from the Core
Portfolio.  The increase in net operating income in the Company's Core Portfolio
is primarily due to increases in occupancy and rental increases partially offset
by general operating expense increases.

Rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $44,607,000, an
increase of $1,878,000 from the three months ended September 30, 1998.  The
increase is primarily due to rental increases and occupancy gains in the
Company's Core Portfolio.

Weighted average occupancy for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
47,159 sites compared with 46,955 sites for the same period in 1998. The
occupancy rate was 91.9 percent on 51,296 sites as of September 30, 1999,
compared to 92.1 percent on 51,154 sites as of September 30, 1998.  The
occupancy rate on the stabilized portfolio was 93.5 percent as of September 30,
1999. The stabilized portfolio includes communities where the Company does not
have, or has not recently had, expansion of the community.  On a per site basis,
weighted average monthly rental revenue for the three months ended September 30,
1999 was $304 compared with $294 in the same period of 1998. For the Company's
Core Portfolio, on a per site basis, weighted average monthly rental revenue for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $305 compared with $293 for the
same period in 1998, an increase of 4.1 percent.

Management fee, interest and other income primarily includes management and
transaction fee income for the management of 43 manufactured home communities,
equity earnings from the Company's sales subsidiary and interest income on notes
receivable and advances to joint ventures/affiliates.  The increase in the three
months ended September 30, 1999 from the same period in 1998 is due primarily to
increased development activities in which the Company funds the development of
joint ventures and increased management and transaction fee income.

Property operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended September
30, 1999 increased by $587,000 or 4.7 percent from the same period a year ago.
The majority of the increase was due to increases in the Company's Core
Portfolio.

Administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased
by $1,224,000 from the same period a year ago.  Administrative expense in 1999
was 6.0 percent of revenues as compared to 3.7 percent in 1998.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30,
1999 decreased $194,000 from the same period a year ago.  Depreciation expense
as a percentage of average depreciable rental property in 1999 remained
relatively unchanged from 1998.

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 1999 to nine months ended
September 30, 1998

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net income was $34,167,000, an
increase of $9,350,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  The
increase was due primarily to acquisitions and increased net operating income
from the Core Portfolio as well as a net gain recorded on the sales of two
properties.  The increase in net operating income in the Company's Core
Portfolio is primarily due to increases in occupancy and rental increases
partially offset by general operating expense increases.

Rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $132,896,000, an
increase of $8,860,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Approximately 35 percent of the increase was due to acquisitions, net of
dispositions, and the remaining 65 percent was due to rental increases and
occupancy gains in the Company's Core Portfolio.

Weighted average occupancy for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
47,126 sites compared with 45,481 sites for the same period in 1998. On a per
site basis, weighted average monthly rental revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was $301 compared with $292 in the same period of 1998. For
the Company's Core Portfolio, on a per site basis, weighted average monthly
rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $306 compared
with $294 for the same period in 1998, an increase of 4.0 percent.

Property operating and maintenance expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 increased by $2,275,000 or 6.4 percent from the same period a year ago.
The majority of the increase was due to the 1998 acquisitions and increases in
the Company's Core Portfolio.

Real estate taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, increased by
$326,000 or 3.6 percent from the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  On a per
site basis, monthly weighted real estate taxes were $22.37 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $22.38 for the same period in 1998. Real
estate taxes may increase or decrease due to inflation, expansions and
improvements of communities, as well as changes in taxation in the tax
jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased by
approximately $1,408,000 from the same period a year ago.  Administrative
expense in 1999 was 5.1 percent of revenues as compared to 4.5 percent in 1998.

Interest and related amortization costs increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 by $481,000, as compared with the nine months ended September
30, 1998.  The increase was due to financing of acquisitions, advances to
affiliates and development activity.  Interest expense as a percentage of
average debt outstanding decreased to approximately 7.3 percent in 1999 from
approximately 7.7 percent in 1998.  The decrease is due to higher borrowing on
the lines of credit as a percentage of total debt and the payoff of higher rate
mortgages.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 increased $1,497,000 from the same period a year ago.  The increase is
directly attributable to the 1998 acquisitions.  Depreciation expense as a
percentage of average depreciable rental property in 1999 remained relatively
unchanged from 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $56,782,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared with $53,989,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.  The increase in cash provided by operating activities was
due primarily to the increase in net operating income.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 was $8,479,000.  This was due primarily to $44,914,000 in distributions
paid to common OP Unitholders in the first nine months of 1999, the payoff of
mortgage and other debt of $23,448,000 offset partially by net borrowings on the
lines of credit of $58,270,000.

operations.

The Company has available a line of credit with Bank One, N.A., acting as lead
agent, for $100 million (the "Bank One Credit Facility"). The interest rate on
the Bank One Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 80 basis points.  In addition, the

September 30, 1999, approximately $95 million was outstanding under the Credit
Facilities and the Company had available $12.5 million in additional borrowing
capacity.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding, in addition to the Credit
Facilities, $245 million  of other unsecured senior debt with a weighted average
interest rate and maturity of 7.5 percent and 3.5 years, respectively, and $106

On October 19, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Greenpark South, a
community located in Alabama with 315 homesites and approximately 76 expandable
sites, for approximately $8.7 million.

affiliates, the Company entered into a $15 million bridge loan.  This bridge
loan is with its primary lender, Bank One NA, bears interest at 6.71% and
matures on November 29, 1999.  The Company expects its affiliates to repay
advances sufficient to retire the bridge loan at maturity.

Repayment of long-term borrowings and amounts outstanding under the Credit
Facilities, future acquisitions of communities and land for development and
community development activities represent the principal long-term liquidity
needs of the Company.  The Company does not expect to generate sufficient funds
from operations to finance these long-term liquidity needs and instead intends
to meet its long-term liquidity requirements through additional borrowing under
the Credit Facilities or other lines of credit, the issuance of additional
equity or debt securities and the assumption of existing secured or unsecured
indebtedness.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements, including
dividends, expansion activities and capital expenditure requirements, through
cash flow from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under the Credit
Facilities and other lines of credit.

Year 2000

Management has assessed the impact of the year 2000 issue on its reporting
systems and operations. The year 2000 issue exists because many computer systems
and applications abbreviate dates by eliminating the first two digits of the
year, assuming that these two digits are always "19".  As a result, date-
sensitive computer programs may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000.  Unless corrected, the potential exists for computer
system failures or incorrect processing of financial and operational
information, which could disrupt operations.

To help facilitate the Company's continued growth, substantially all of the
computer systems and applications and other operating systems in use in its home
office and properties have been, or are in the process of being upgraded and
modified.  The Company is of the opinion that, in connection with those upgrades
and modifications, it has addressed applicable year 2000 issues as they might
affect the computer systems and applications located in the Company's offices
and properties. The Company anticipates that implementation of solutions to any
year 2000 issue which it may discover will require the expenditure of sums which
the Company does not expect to be material.

The Company is exposed to the risk that one or more of its vendors or service
providers may experience year 2000 problems which impact the ability of such
vendor or service provider to provide goods and services.  Due to the
availability of alternative suppliers, this is not considered as significant a
risk with respect to the suppliers of goods. The disruption of certain services,
however, such as utilities, could, depending upon the extent of the disruption,
have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations.  To date, the
Company is not aware of any vendor or service provider year 2000 issue that
management believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company's
operations.

The Company, however, has no means of ensuring that its vendors or service
providers will be year 2000 ready.  The inability of vendors or service
providers to complete the year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion could
have an adverse impact on the Company and the effect of non-compliance by
vendors or service providers is not determinable at this time.  Residents do not
pose year 2000 problems for the Company in view of the nature of the Company's
properties.

Widespread disruptions in the national or international economy, including
disruptions affecting the financial markets, resulting from year 2000 issues, or
in certain industries, such as commercial or investment banks, could also have
an adverse impact on the Company.  The likelihood and effect of such disruptions
is not determinable at this time.

The Company expects to have all systems appropriately modified before any
significant processing malfunctions could occur and does not expect the year
2000 issue will materially impact the financial condition or operations of the
Company.

Other

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as consolidated net income of the Company
without giving effect to gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of
property, certain non-recurring items and rental property depreciation and
amortization.  Management believes that FFO is an important and widely used
measure of the operating performance of REITs which provides a relevant basis
for comparison among REITs.  FFO (i) does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should
not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities;
and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  FFO is
calculated as follows:

then the Company's interest expense (net of adjustments for capitalized items),
for the period would have increased or decreased by approximately $713,000.
