FG Communities Bolsters Affordable Housing Portfolio with Asheville Acquisition
Event summary
- FG Communities completed the acquisition of a manufactured housing community in Asheville, North Carolina.
- The company, co-founded by Joe Moglia, Kyle Cerminara, and Michael Anise, now manages a portfolio of 84 properties.
- FG Communities' portfolio includes over 3,500 homesites, either owned or pending acquisition.
- Asheville is experiencing a housing shortage, with demand consistently exceeding supply.
The big picture
FG Communities' acquisition strategy is predicated on capitalizing on the persistent shortage of affordable housing in high-growth markets. The company’s focus on manufactured housing communities provides a niche within the broader real estate sector, but also presents unique operational and regulatory challenges. With a portfolio of over 3,500 homesites, FG Communities’ performance will be a bellwether for the viability of this specialized investment approach.
