<p class="x_MsoNormal">Good Afternoon Mr. Peters,</p>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I am working with several representatives on a bill that would allow residents in manufactured home communities to change the title of their home from personal to real property. I have spoken with the Department of Revenue, the Department
of Licensing, and the Department of Commerce. All of the agencies have no initial objections to the concept. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The goal with this statute change would be to allow residents in cooperatively owned manufactured home communities the ability to access Title II loans. Fannie Mae has been securing loans to homeowners cooperatively owned manufactured
home communities in New Hampshire since 2008 and they are eager to expand the program. In talking with my colleagues in Minnesota who recently passed similar legislation I was encouraged to reach out to your organization. We want to ensure that mortgage insurers
are comfortable with the cooperative model.</p>
