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 and communities look different than they did in the 1950s — with amenities that rival any residential development in the country. What has not changed is the demand for affordable housing, and for investors who understand that and see the opportunity it creates, the timing has never been better.
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."

Keyhole Connect
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 always
covers the facility
✓ Lien filed against 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 plus 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 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
Returns Received
Capital Recycled
As all payments flow through the platform on a continuous cycle, the following happens;
✓ Keyhole Connect remits the
investor's returns
✓ Seasoned loans are sold
✓ Capital is immediately
recycled to work again
✓ Investor receives
distributions
✓ Park's revolving line
credited for loan sale
✓ Capital redeploys to park

Why Our 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
We're not in the lending business. We're in the fee business.
Keyhole Connect makes its money by earning fees. Fees at loan origination, fees throughout the life of each loan, and fees again when loans are sold. Because capital is deployed at the operator level rather than the borrower level, these revenue events repeat across every loan in each park's portfolio. But our fees don't stop there. We also offer refinancing of a park's existing bank loans into a single facility, and assistance with the eventual sale of a park.
Park Setup Fees
$4,000 net/park/year
ANNUALLY PER ACTIVE PARK
Collected annually from every active park in the platform. As the network of park partners grows, this compounds into a steady base revenue stream independent of loan activity.
Loan Management Fees
$495 per loan
AT LOAN ORIGINATION
The loan management fee reflects the work Keyhole Connect does from origination through the life of every loan — reviewing performance, managing the portfolio, and knowing when to sell.
Monthly Interest Spread
$495 per loan
EVERY MONTH, EVERY LOAN
Keyhole Connect collects the spread between what flows in from residents and what flows out to investors. That gap is Keyhole Connect's monthly income — earned on every performing loan.
Loan Exit Fees
$4K - $8K per loan
SELLING OFF LOANS
Earned when a seasoned performing loan is sold to a buyer in the secondary market. The fee is fixed regardless of exit timing. The longer the loan is held, the more income spread compounds on top of it.
