This sample uses a fictional manufactured housing community (Crescent Pine MHC) to show the kind of underwriting readout CREscope produces from a deal package.

What to review
Some of these the readout surfaces automatically from the numbers. The MHC diligence points are standard checks to confirm yourself.
- Financing to confirm. Year-1 coverage is a thin 1.13x and improves over the hold. Confirm the coverage a lender will actually underwrite to before relying on this structure.
- Property-tax timing. A cap/reset sunset lands inside the 5-year hold, so tax growth shifts mid-projection. The readout surfaces the year and adjusts the model rather than assuming a flat rate.
- MHC-specific diligence. For a community like this, confirm pad count and occupancy, whether homes are tenant- or park-owned, and the water/sewer setup (private well and septic vs municipal), because each moves the real numbers.
