A Lot has changed since the 1950s.
Manufactured housing financing isn't one of them.
They called it a trailer park
We now call it America's answer
to affordable housing.
Today, more than 22 million Americans live in manufactured housing communities across 44,000 parks nationwide. The homes look different. The communities look different, with amenities that rival any residential development in the country. What hasn't changed is the need — and the opportunity hiding inside it.
Entrepreneurs and large companies have mostly taken over these communities. They see the tremendous opportunity, but also feel the challenges. Traditional banks and other financing companies don't always work with what park operators actually need: the freedom to choose the model that works best for them, fast decisions, funds delivered when they need it, and a capital partner that treats the park like a partner.
Keyhole Connect was built around exactly that — a revolving credit platform designed from the ground up for the way park operators actually work, with returns structured to perform at every stage of the capital cycle.
The most overlooked asset class in American real estate isn't a secret anymore. It's a race. The operators who can access capital fastest will own the most valuable communities in ten years."

HOW THE PLATFORM WORKS
A Simple Model Built Around Affordable Housing
Keyhole Connect provides revolving lines of credit to manufactured home park operators, creating structured returns for investors backed by real assets and park-level guarantees.

Investors Fund Opportunities
Investors provide capital through a warehouse line of credit deployed by Keyhole Connect directly to manufactured home park operators across the United States. Capital moves through a revolving structure — as loans perform and are sold off to the secondary market, principal is returned and immediately redeployed into the next cycle.
INVESTOR BENEFITS
✓ Fixed annual return on
deployed capital
✓ Park guarantee covers the
facility at all times
✓ Lien filed against park
property and homes
✓ Principal returned when
loans are sold

Park Owners
Draw on the Line
Park operators draw on their pre-approved revolving credit facility to acquire, place, and refurbish manufactured homes within their communities. The operator decides when to draw, which lots to fill, and at what pace. No waiting. No loan-by-loan approvals. Capital that moves when the operator moves.
THE CREDIT FACILITY
Minimum Line: $250,000
Maximum Line: $5,000,000
Structure: Revolving — restores as loans are sold
Draw Schedule: Operator's own pace
Facility Rate: Cost of capital + 2%
Term: 48 months with 18-month availability period

Monthly Payments Generate Returns
Once homes are placed and residents are in them, payments begin flowing. The resident makes two separate payments each month — lot rent directly to the park, and a home loan payment collected by a third-party servicer on behalf of Keyhole Connect.
That payment flows up the capital stack in sequence — every obligation is covered before the next one is paid:
✓ Servicer collects resident
loan payment monthly
✓ Keyhole Connect credits
the park's facility obligation
✓ Investor's return is remitted
✓ Keyhole Connect earns its
spread on every active loan

Keeping Track
of All The Loans
Keyhole Connect tracks all payment performances identifying loans to sell to institutional buyers and the secondary market. Selling performing loans early keeps the portfolio current and the park's exposure under control.
If a resident defaults, the park steps in as the Guarantor:
✓ Eviction, refurbishment,
and marketing paid by park
✓ Facility rate payments
continue to be paid
✓ Investor return does not
pause during this period

WHY THIS MODEL WORKS
Affordable Housing
Remains in Demand
Manufactured housing is the largest source of unsubsidized affordable housing in the United States. For more than 22 million Americans it is not a preference. It is the only option. That demand does not follow market cycles. It is structural.
Homes Tend to Stay Right in the Park
Unlike site-built homes, manufactured homes in established communities are rarely moved. The cost and logistics involved make relocation uncommon. That stability anchors the collateral, reduces default risk, and keeps residents embedded in their communities long term.
Real Assets Back
Every Loan
Every Keyhole Connect facility is secured by a lien filed against the park property and every home placed within it. No facility is approved without confirming that sufficient equity exists to fully cover our position. The park operator guarantees every draw. The lien is the floor.
The Park Carries
the Accountability
Keyhole Connect has no direct relationship with individual residents. The park operator is the borrower, the guarantor, and the party most invested in the community's performance. If a resident defaults, the park resolves it — entirely at its own expense — while continuing to make facility payments without interruption.
HOW KEYHOLE CONNECT MAKES MONEY
Three return events on every loan.
None of them speculative.
Keyhole Connect earns at origination through fees, every month through the interest spread, and at payoff through the exit fee. Because capital is deployed at the park level, these events multiply across every loan in the portfolio without multiplying the overhead.
How Secure is my Investment?
The platform is designed with multiple layers of structural protection intended to safeguard investor capital.
Financing is extended at the park ownership level rather than to individual residents, aligning repayment responsibility with the operating business that controls occupancy, home placement, and community management.
Each facility is supported by secured collateral positions on the homes placed within the community, while park-level repayment obligations remain in place regardless of individual resident performance. In addition, approved facilities are supported by credit insurance coverage and ongoing operational visibility into park performance.
Together, these protections create a structured credit framework designed to prioritize capital preservation while supporting stable, income-producing growth.
Credit Insurance Protection
Each approved park facility is supported by a credit insurance policy covering up to 90% of drawn principal in the event of park-level default, subject to underwriting approval and policy terms.
Park-Level
The park ownership entity remains fully responsible for repayment of advances under its commercial Line of Credit regardless of individual resident performance.
Asset-Backed
Homes financed under the program are titled with properly perfected lien positions, providing secured collateral tied directly to tangible housing assets within the community.
Park Loan
Each home is supported by a guarantee from the park owner. If a resident defaults, the park remains responsible for repayment of the loan, ensuring the obligation remains tied to the operating business.
How Investors Earn Returns
Investor returns are generated through structured interest income on capital deployed through the platform. Funds are advanced to qualified manufactured housing communities through secured revolving Lines of Credit used to place homes on vacant home sites or finance resident purchases within the community.
As homes become occupied, communities generate recurring lot rent while the platform earns interest income on the deployed capital. Because financing is structured at the park level, capital can be deployed across multiple homes within a community rather than being limited to a single borrower transaction.
When homes are refinanced or paid off, principal is returned along with accrued interest and applicable payoff fees. Returned capital is then redeployed into new home placements, allowing the same investment capital to generate income across multiple cycles over time.
Each loan generates fees at both the beginning and conclusion of the loan term. These fees create a direct revenue stream from day one of every funded loan.
Borrower Fees
Investors earn interest on capital deployed through the platform based on the spread between the platform’s lending rate and its cost of capital.
Interest Income
Investors earn interest on capital deployed through the platform based on the spread between the platform’s lending rate and its cost of capital.
Payoff Events
Returned principal is redeployed into new homes within partner communities, allowing capital to generate recurring income across multiple placements.
Capital Recycling
Long-Term Portfolio Strategy
Over time, Keyhole Connect intends to develop a secondary market for our manufactured home loans by selling seasoned, performing loans in bulk to institutional buyers.
By packaging stabilized loans together with our Loan Guarantee structure, we expect to create portfolios that are attractive to larger capital providers seeking predictable cash flow and asset-backed yield.
This strategy allows capital to be recycled into new originations, accelerating platform growth while maintaining the disciplined underwriting and risk management that define our model.
