Executive summary

BWE is pleased to present the Alabama 5-Park Portfolio — five communities totaling 570 homesites across the Birmingham, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa and Montgomery metros. At 96.5% occupancy with 88% tenant-owned homes and no vacant park-owned homes, the portfolio delivers reliable in-place cash flow with clear upside through rent growth and infill. All five communities are served by public municipal water and sewer — no wells, no septic, no lagoons. Trash is billed back to residents at three of the five, and Cahaba Estates and Paddington sub-meter and recapture water and sewer consumption.

The portfolio spans four distinct Alabama economies, with every community within a two-hour drive of Birmingham — a single management team can run all five while demand risk stays diversified across separate employment bases. In-place rents of $430 sit roughly 28% below achievable market rents of $549 and 65% below the average two-bedroom apartment in these markets. With 80% of the park-owned home fleet built in 2022 or later, 100% public utilities and paved roads, the portfolio represents an agency-financeable acquisition with an immediate and clear path to significant NOI growth.

Investment highlights

Submarkets Growing Faster in Desirable Top MSAs | Four Distinct Alabama Economies

570 lots across the Birmingham, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa and Montgomery MSAs. Each community sits in a submarket growing faster than the metro around it — Trussville at +4.3% against Jefferson County’s -1.3%, Tuscaloosa County up 17.8% over ten years, and Prattville at +7.6% against Montgomery’s -2.6%. No single community is more than 28% of the portfolio.

Agency-Financeable Portfolio | Durable In-Place Cash Flow

With 88% tenant-owned homes, 96.5% occupancy, 100% public water and sewer and paved roads throughout, the portfolio meets key agency lending criteria — providing access to long-term, fixed-rate financing from day one. Most revenue comes from residents who own their homes, supporting low turnover and limited home-maintenance exposure.

Significant NOI Growth via Below-Market Lot Rents

Current average lot rent of $430/month compares against market rents of roughly $549 across the five submarkets, representing about 28% of immediate upside. At $430, lot rent also sits 65% below the average two-bedroom apartment in these markets, leaving room to push rents without straining residents.

100% Public Water & Sewer | Turnkey Infrastructure

All five communities are served by municipal water and sewer — no wells, no septic, no lagoons, no private package plants, and none of the capital or regulatory exposure that comes with them. Trash is billed back to residents at three of the five communities, and Cahaba Estates and Paddington sub-meter and recapture water and sewer consumption.

Newer Park-Owned Home Fleet | Low Near-Term Capital Need

80% of the portfolio’s park-owned homes were built in 2022 or later, with a median vintage of 2023 — including 2024, 2025 and 2026 model-year homes placed at Payne Creek. A young fleet means homes still inside their useful life, strong resale value, and minimal near-term rehab cost on owned inventory.

Modest Infill Upside | Pads Available Today

Every park-owned home in the portfolio is occupied — there are no vacant POH to absorb. 15 vacant pads remain for infill, concentrated at Payne Creek and Camelot Village, and four new 2026 homes are already on order at Payne Creek that convey with the sale. 37 homes have been sold, showing strong demand and a buyers ability to convert POH to TOH.
