UMH PROPERTIES, INC.
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
Our Vision
UMH Properties, Inc. has a 55-year history of providing quality affordable housing. UMH owns
and operates a portfolio of 135 manufactured home communities containing 25,800 developed
homesites situated in 11 states. UMH also has an ownership interest in and operates two communities
in Florida, containing 363 sites, through our joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate.
Manufactured home communities satisfy a fundamental need of providing quality affordable
housing. As home prices continue to rise and available home inventory continues to shrink, the
supply of affordable housing becomes an ever-increasing concern. We are committed to being a
part of the solution to America’s affordable housing crisis.
UMH has long believed that we have an obligation to create sustainable and environmentally
friendly communities that have a positive societal impact. Throughout our history, we have and
will continue to develop and invest in environmentally friendly initiatives that conserve energy
and natural resources. We build, upgrade and manage well-maintained communities that our
residents are proud to call home. We believe in enriching the lives of the people impacted by our
Company, such as our employees, residents, neighbors and shareholders.

DEAR FELLOW
SHAREHOLDERS
Community Operating Income
($ in millions)
The UMH team and our residents thank you for
believing in us and investing in the Company. We
strive to increase earnings per share and market value
per share for our shareholders. We are proud to have
increased the dividend for a third consecutive year
as the best form of good corporate governance is
returning capital to our shareholders. We believe that
our success on the operational front will translate
to growing FFO and future dividend increases.
Additionally, Normalized FFO per share increased
from $0.85 in 2022 to $0.86 in 2023 despite the
$120
headwinds facing the real estate market. Normalized
FFO in the fourth quarter was $0.23 as compared to
$0.20 in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an
increase of 15%. Sequentially, Normalized FFO per
share has increased for three quarters in a row, and
we anticipate further growth as we continue to execute
on our long-term business plan which is resulting in
bottom line growth.

In some cases, we subsidize the community transition
for existing residents because it is the right thing to
do. This results in great community relations and
eventually in increased profits. We know that our
shareholders only want to be invested in a company
that can earn strong returns while treating its residents
fairly.
The low-cost producer of a quality product always wins.
UMH is the low-cost producer of 1,000 sq. ft. to 2,400
sq. ft. three-bedroom, two-bath housing on a 5,000
sq. ft. lot with a shed. Most of our lots have their own
driveway and curbside garbage pickup. We provide a
housing product most people must see to believe. A
household with an annual income of $40,000 can rent a
home from UMH for approximately $1,000 per month
and they only need one month’s rent and one month’s
security deposit to move in. Approximately 10,000
households are very pleased to rent homes from UMH.
We maintain waiting lists for our rental homes, have
94% rental home occupancy, 98% rent collection, and
below 30% annual rental home turnover with repair
and maintenance costs of just $400 per unit, per year.
Shareholders can view the communities they own by
watching the drone videos on our website.
Our residents see the value we add to their homes and
communities allowing us to continue to achieve 5%
annual rent increases. Our revenue growth in 2022
and early 2023 was hampered by supply constraints,
not by lack of demand or an inability to have vacant
lots ready to rent. However, in 2023 the UMH team
fully set up and rented or sold approximately 1,200
homes. These new homes generated an increase in
overall occupancy of 704 units to 86.7% and a same
property occupancy increase of 632 units to 88.5%.
This generated an increase in same property income
of 9% and same property net operating income of 13%,
or $12.2 million.
In 2024, we will reap the benefits of the prior
year’s 5% rent increase (approximately $10 million
in new revenue), the addition of 800 rental units
(approximately $10 million in new revenue), decreased
inventory carrying costs and increased home sales at
the community expansions and new communities

we built with our joint venture partner, Nuveen Real
Estate. Our communities increase in value because
of inflation, improved operating performance and
improved economics and demographics of the
surrounding area.
In 2023, we refinanced eight communities for proceeds
of $58 million at a 5.97% interest rate. We purchased
those communities during 2012 and 2013 and invested
a total of $52 million, including capital improvements.
The appraisals completed during the refinancing
established a value of $108 million, generating an
increase in value of $56 million or 107% over the
10-year period. This refinancing demonstrates the
considerable value that is created by our long-term
business plan.
Eugene Landy, our Chairman and Founder, leads us
through economic cycles and black swan events with
the mantra that prevailing on unleashes the power
of compounding interest to create wealth for all of
us. Under his leadership, we continue to grow the
company, grow earnings, and provide the Nation with
much needed quality affordable housing.
The UMH Team is proud to go to work each day
knowing that our shareholders and residents depend
on us to make them proud and provide them with
financial security and quality housing. We believe
we succeeded again in 2023 and hope someday that
everyone reading this will be able to tell a story of
the wealth UMH created for them by long-term
compounding of income and value. This year, we
heard the remarkable story of two sisters whose
grandparents purchased 3,000 shares of UMH in 1968
for approximately $7,500. Through the compounding
of dividend reinvesting, they now hold over 43,000
shares of UMH worth in excess of $650,000 and earn
an annual dividend of over $35,000 per year.
Many thanks to our investment banks, regional banks,
analysts, UMH officers, UMH directors, employees,
national and state associations, and all the friends who
we have made and who have joined and stayed with us
over our 55-year history. All we accomplish is because
we do it together and we thank each of you for being
a part of our mission to profitably provide quality
housing in factory-built homes for sale or rent.
Very truly yours,
SAMUEL A. LANDY
President and Chief Executive Officer

2023 ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
Over the past few years, we have successfully navigated
the peaks and valleys of the real estate and economic
cycle. From historically low interest rates and all-time
high real estate valuations to COVID lockdowns and
the ensuing supply chain disruptions to rising interest
rates and associated bank failures. UMH came out of
all of these scenarios stronger than before and with the
belief that we can expand the company and implement
our business plan across the Nation. Our 55 years of
experience in the real estate industry has taught us to
always be prepared for black swan events by maintaining
a conservative balance sheet to ensure that the company
is financially sound regardless of the economic cycle.
UMH continues to provide much needed quality
affordable housing across our portfolio. Our executive
team, board of directors, vice presidents, regional
managers, community managers and maintenance staff
have built a first-class portfolio of manufactured home
communities that our investors should be proud to own.
Our portfolio consists of 25,800 developed homesites
situated in 135 manufactured home communities across
11 states. Additionally, we are a 40% partner with
Nuveen Real Estate in a joint venture that owns two
communities containing 363 sites in Florida and one
community under construction in Pennsylvania. We
have over 3,400 vacant sites available to fill and 2,100
vacant acres of land that can potentially be developed
into an additional 8,500 homesites. The quality of our
communities is apparent when touring our assets and
comparing them to our competitors. Drone videos of
our communities are available at www.umh.reit and truly
show the quality of UMH’s communities and the high-
quality living provided through manufactured housing.
We take great pride in executing our business plan while
working to provide quality affordable housing. Our
mission is now more important than ever before. The
United States has a massive shortage of quality affordable
housing, ranging from four to six million units. The
combination of higher interest rates and low inventory
have further decreased housing affordability. This has
resulted in 200,000 fewer housing starts. Additionally,
most new homes being built are not at an affordable
price point. Other than manufactured housing, there
are limited options available at a price point under
$500,000. We work every day to expand the supply of
affordable housing through manufactured housing. We
are acquiring and improving existing communities with
Page 4
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
high vacancies, expanding our communities, developing
new communities through our joint ventures, and
financing chattel home sales at reasonable rates. All
of these verticals are social in nature and increase the
supply and attainability of manufactured housing while
generating exceptional operating results.
Every business succeeds only where there is good
faith and fair dealing by all. The path to maximizing
shareholder value is by creating and owning needed
housing and treating our residents equitably. To do this,
we need satisfied residents as well as satisfied investors.
Investors should be proud to own UMH because we serve
an important social mission by providing affordable
housing and doing it in an environmentally friendly
manner. Our success has led to increased property values
and earnings, which investors realize through increased
dividends. We believe that this will also translate to an
increased stock price. Our residents should be proud
to live in our communities. We take great pride in
improving the communities and the quality of life that is
provided by living in a UMH community. We are always
fair with residents and limit our rent increases. With
resident and investor acceptance, UMH is positioned
to further build upon our success.
Very truly yours,
EUGENE W. LANDY
Chairman of the Board

Since 2010, UMH has tripled the size of the company by
acquiring 107 communities containing approximately
18,800 developed homesites. These communities were
acquired with a blended occupancy rate of 73% for a
total purchase price of $616 million or $33,000 per site.
We have improved the overall quality of housing at each
of these locations which has driven increased demand,
occupancy, and income. The improvements we make to
the communities and the correlated increase in occupancy
and revenue result in a substantial increase in property
values. UMH can capture the value created through
financing and refinancing the communities. In 2023,
UMH completed the financing of eight communities
that were acquired in 2012 and 2013. We have a total
investment, including capital improvements of $52
million, or approximately $41,000 per site, in these
communities. This financing valued the communities
at $108 million representing a $56 million increase in
value, resulting in an increase of 107%. UMH is proud
to achieve excellent returns while providing high-quality
affordable housing.

GROWTH OF RENTAL HOME PORTFOLIO
Rental homes in our communities are a key component
of the success of our acquisition program. They provide
us with the fastest infill rate, improve the aesthetics
of the community and provide solid returns. We have
worked with our manufacturers to design our homes so
that they can withstand normal rental wear and tear. We
currently have a portfolio of 10,000 rental homes that are
94% occupied. Our average rents are $933 per month. We
plan to grow our portfolio of rental homes by 800-1,000
units annually. Our rental investments generate unlevered
returns of approximately 10%.
In 2023, UMH added 1,040 new rental homes to our
portfolio as compared to 392 units in 2022. The new rental
homes resulted in increased same property occupancy of
230 basis points, or 632 units. This generated an increase
2022
in same property income of 9% and an increase in same
property NOI of 13%.

SALES AND FINANCE
2018
2019
In 2023, our taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and
Finance, Inc., had another strong year. Gross revenue
sales were $31.2 million. We sold 341 homes, of which 164
were new and 177 were used. Our average sales price was
$91,000, as compared to $84,000 in 2022, representing
an increase of approximately 8%. As we continue to
improve the overall quality of our communities, we
are experiencing an increase in sales demand. This has
resulted in strong sales growth at communities that have
historically been slower sales locations.
2020
2021
2023
2022
In 2023, we financed, through our third-party lending
program, $21.8 million of our home sales, which was 70%
of our total home sales. We have grown our portfolio
of manufactured home loans to $78.7 million. The
portfolio has an average interest rate of approximately
7%. Manufactured homes are approximately 40% less
expensive than stick-built homes, but historically our
loans costed 40% more. These higher interest rates
reduced the affordability our product provided. However,
our UMH Sales and Finance interest rates are now in
2020
line with conventional mortgage rates, which helps to
increase sales and demonstrates the affordability of
our product.

SITES ENGINEERED FOR EXPANSION
In 2023, we completed the construction of 216 sites. These
expansion sites are well-located in markets with strong
sales demand. Expansions create operating efficiencies in
which each site generates additional revenue without an
increase in fixed operating costs. The average development
cost is approximately $75,000 per homesite. We expect
to develop 300 or more sites in 2024. Home sales in
expansions should generate sales profits of $30,000 or
more per home, which reduces the cost to develop the
site and increases our yield. Once stabilized, expansion
sites yield more than what is available in the acquisition
market.
We have an additional 2,100 vacant acres, which can
potentially be developed into 8,500 homesites. This
2026
vacant land adjoining our properties and our vacant sites
give us the ability to internally grow the company for the
foreseeable future.

OPPORTUNITY ZONE FUND
In 2022, UMH formed an opportunity zone fund (“OZ
Fund”) to develop and redevelop manufactured housing
communities located in qualified opportunity zones.
Many of these economically distressed communities have
a great need for workforce housing. Workforce housing
incentivizes businesses to invest in these areas, thereby
improving the value of the real estate located within and
around the opportunity zone over time.
The OZ Fund owns two manufactured home communities,
Garden View Estates and Mighty Oak. Garden View
Estates, located in Orangeburg, SC, was purchased in
August 2022 for $5.2 million. This community contains
181 developed homesites, of which approximately 34%
are occupied. The community is situated on 39 acres.
Mighty Oak was purchased in January 2023 for $3.7
million and is located in Albany, GA. This brand-new
community contains 118 developed homesites and is
situated on 26 acres.
Tax Advantages
Tax Advantages
Investing in the OZ Fund minimizes the tax effect of
capital gains to our shareholders. During 2022, UMH
realized considerable capital gains through its securities
portfolio. These capital gains, along with capital gains
invested by outside investors, are tax-deferred until
December 31, 2026. For outside investors, capital
remaining in the OZ Fund for at least 10 years results
in the cost basis of the property being equal to the fair
market value on the date of sale, resulting in no taxable
capital gains.
Capital Advantages
Capital Advantages
The 10-year holding period provides UMH with access
to additional sources of long-term patient capital. In
addition, UMH has the right of first offer to purchase
the communities held within the OZ Fund when the
OZ Fund sells them after the 10-year holding period,
enabling UMH to have a larger acquisition pipeline.
There are a limited number of capital-intensive deals
that UMH can invest in at any one time. By partnering
with long term investors who are seeking tax efficient
strategies, UMH has the ability to acquire more
communities.
Government Relations Advantages
Government Relations Advantages
The OZ Fund improves government relations by utilizing
programs the government has created to further the
government’s goals of providing affordable housing
and investing in areas that have been underappreciated.
UMH is creating and maintaining a relationship with
federal, state and local governments by participating in
these programs.

JOINT VENTURE
RUM RUNNER, Sebring, FL
Acquired in December 2022
SEBRING SQUARE, Sebring, FL
Acquired in December 2021
UMH has grown through value-add acquisitions by
acquiring manufactured housing sites in good markets
significantly below replacement cost. We have done an
outstanding job on this front, but our success has led
to imitation, which has driven increased competition
ultimately leading to increased prices so that communities
now sell for more than replacement cost. We still intend
to grow by value-add acquisitions, but fewer deals are
meeting our growth criteria. We can now become a leader
in the development of new communities.
In order to fund these developments, limit the short-term
impact on FFO and reduce our risk, we have entered into
a joint venture relationship with Nuveen Real Estate.
The purpose of this joint venture is for the acquisition
and development of communities in the process of
being developed or that have been developed within
the past 12 months. Nuveen has a 60% equity position
while UMH has a 40% share in the joint venture. UMH
earns assets under management fees, development fees
and a favorable promote percentage for exceeding IRR
SHORT-TERM RENTALS
UMH is utilizing a number of our homes for short-
term rentals to capitalize on the increasing demand for
flexibility. This provides the added benefit of increasing
exposure to our product and the attractive lifestyle of
residing in a land-lease community.
“Our main criteria was safety and serenity, THEY
DELIVERED! The house is brand new and they had
everything we needed to make our one month stay
perfect. I started to cry when I left them today. Great
people!”
Review of home in Sebring Square by Jenni R.
- September 2023
targets. UMH will also have the right to purchase these
communities from the joint venture which will enhance
our future acquisition pipeline. We are very happy to
partner with Nuveen and look forward to investing in
and developing many communities together.
Through this joint venture relationship, we own two
communities in Sebring, Florida, containing 363 sites. We
are making progress installing and filling homes at both
the Sebring Square and Rum Runner communities. These
communities are highly amenitized with a clubhouse,
swimming pool, bocce ball courts, pickleball courts, dog
park and more. Once complete, these will be some of the
highest quality communities in the country. Additionally,
through this joint venture relationship, we are managing
the development of a 113-site community in Honey
Brook, Pennsylvania. Construction began in the fourth
quarter of 2023 and is expected to take 12-15 months.
At that time, we will begin installing homes for sale and
for rent. We look forward to developing communities
like these throughout the country.

In April of 2023, Sustainalytics provided a Second
Party Opinion (SPO) on an updated version of our
Sustainability Finance Framework. The update
opened other avenues UMH could use to access ESG
financing beyond strictly bonds. Sustainalytics gave
an even more favorable opinion on our portfolio’s
ability to provide affordable housing to the target
market of low-income earners, affordable housing,
and access to financing. Our water and energy
management initiatives were cited as well.
• UMH increased its management systems around
occupational health and safety by becoming ISO
45001 certified. A Vice President of Corporate
Security was also hired to improve the all-around
safety for residents and workers at the communities.
Their in-depth knowledge and experience will be a
benefit in planning the design of new communities,
offices, and other structures, as well as help establish
beneficial relationships with local law enforcement.
• MSCI Business Involvement Screening Research
stated that UMH derived 100% of revenues socially
from affordable housing real estate.
• The Board announced a new ESG Subcommittee.
ESG HIGHLIGHTS
At UMH, we believe that the true measure of sustainability
is predicated on sound practices inherent and essential
to operational performance. These practices need to
enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of a company,
resulting in tangible impacts. UMH’s sustainability
is multifaceted, first centering on sustainable social
infrastructure through affordable monthly housing
rates and best-in-class financing terms. Additionally,
the company is dedicated to smart and conscious
environmental initiatives. Our ability to proudly carry
out such a mission is, in part, thanks to the hard work
that the entire UMH team puts in each day, and the
leadership and backbone our governance provides.
It is important that the Company’s sustainability
approach aligns with the interests of residents, local
officials, shareholders, and other stakeholders across the
organization. Sustainability, in our view, is an ongoing
progression that should benefit everyone involved.
It shouldn’t be a trade-off between environmental
responsibility and shareholder satisfaction; there are
solutions that can foster prosperity for all, and our
portfolio exemplifies this belief.
Last year in 2023, UMH did some incredibly impactful
work in the housing markets of our existing portfolio.
UMH was able to add 1,040 new rental homes at
affordable rates, which isn’t just a sound practice
for customer relations; it’s an effective strategy for
expanding revenue and streamlining efficiencies in
current operations. The use of modern housing built
in the most environmentally friendly way emphasizes
the fact that we are committed to providing solutions to
the two most salient and controversial crises affecting
our country.
We continue to purchase more energy-efficient ENERGY
STAR and Zero Energy Ready homes, built in ISO
14001 certified factories. Our submetering for water
and retrofitting for LED lights and smart thermostats
continue to go tremendously well. In order to be more
conscious of our emissions and practice more resource
control, we have also systemized our mileage tracking
across our fleet. We are also incessantly working with our
third party data providers to have audit-ready emissions
data that will help us satisfy shareholder desires as well
as any federal or state laws around carbon emissions.
Overseeing all of ESG matters will be the Company’s
new ESG Subcommittee. ESG Highlights are shown
below; however, a more in-depth analysis can be found
in our annual ESG Report that can be viewed on our
website: www.umh.reit.

Item 1 – Business
General Development of Business
PART I
UMH Properties, Inc. (“UMH”), together with its predecessors and consolidated subsidiaries, are referred to
herein as “we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company”, unless the context requires otherwise.
UMH is a Maryland corporation that operates as a self-administered and self-managed qualified real estate
investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The Company elected
REIT status effective January 1, 1992 and intends to maintain its qualification as a REIT in the future. As a qualified
REIT, with limited exceptions, the Company will not be taxed under Federal and certain state income tax laws at the
corporate level on taxable income that it distributes to its shareholders. For special tax provisions applicable to REITs,
refer to Sections 856-860 of the Code.
UMH was incorporated in the state of New Jersey in 1968. On September 29, 2003, UMH changed its state
of incorporation from New Jersey to Maryland by merging with and into a Maryland corporation. Our executive
office is located in Freehold, NJ.
Description of Business
The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities –
leasing manufactured homesites to residents. The Company also leases manufactured homes to residents and, through
its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), sells and finances the sale of
manufactured homes to residents and prospective residents of our communities and for placement on customers’
privately-owned land. In 2022, Company also formed an opportunity zone fund to acquire, develop and redevelop
manufactured housing communities requiring substantial capital investment and located in areas designated as
Qualified Opportunity Zones by the Treasury Department pursuant to a program authorized under the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) to encourage long-term investment in economically distressed areas. The Company
currently holds a 77% percentage interest in the opportunity zone fund. Our opportunity zone fund currently owns
two communities, located in South Carolina and Georgia.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned and operated 135 manufactured home communities
(including two communities acquired through the Company’s opportunity zone fund) containing approximately
25,800 developed homesites. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia. The Company also has an ownership
interest in and operates two communities in Florida through a joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate (See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 5 “Investment
in Joint Venture” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
We have expanded our portfolio of manufactured home communities through numerous acquisitions. During
2023, the Company purchased one community, located in Georgia, containing 118 developed homesites, through our
opportunity zone fund. In addition, during 2023, the Company expanded our joint venture relationship with Nuveen
Real Estate by forming a new joint venture vehicle with Nuveen to develop a new manufactured housing community
in Pennsylvania.
A manufactured home community is designed to accommodate detached or semi-attached, single-family
manufactured homes. These manufactured homes are produced off-site by manufacturers and installed on sites within
the communities. These homes may be improved with the addition of features constructed on-site, including garages,
screened rooms and carports. Manufactured homes are available in a variety of designs and floor plans, offering many
amenities and custom options. Each manufactured homeowner leases the site on which the home is located from the
Company. Generally, the Company owns the underlying land, utility connections, streets, lighting, driveways,
common area amenities and other capital improvements and is responsible for enforcement of community guidelines
and maintenance.
Manufactured homes are accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to
conventional site-built single-family housing. The affordability of the modern manufactured home makes it a very
-3-
attractive housing alternative. Depending on the region of the country, prices per square foot for a new manufactured
home average up to 50 percent less than a comparable site-built home, excluding the cost of land. This is due to a
number of factors, including volume purchase discounts, inventory control of construction materials and control of all
aspects of the construction process, which is generally a more efficient, environmentally friendly and streamlined
process as compared to a site-built home.
Modern residential land lease communities are similar to typical residential subdivisions containing central
entrances, paved well-lit streets, curbs and gutters. Generally, modern manufactured home communities contain
buildings for recreation, green areas, and other common area facilities, all of which are the property of the community
owner. In addition to such general improvements, certain manufactured home communities include recreational
improvements such as swimming pools, tennis courts and playgrounds. Municipal water and sewer services are
available in some manufactured home communities, while other communities supply these services on-site.
Typically, our leases are on an annual or month-to-month basis, renewable upon the consent of both parties.
The community manager interviews prospective residents, collects rent and finance payments, ensures compliance
with community regulations, maintains common areas and community facilities and is responsible for the overall
appearance of the community. The homeowner is responsible for the maintenance of the home and leased site. As a
result, our capital expenditures tend to be less significant relative to multifamily rental apartments. Manufactured
home communities produce predictable income streams and provide protection from inflation due to the ability to
annually increase rents.
Many of our communities compete with other manufactured home community properties located in the same
or nearby markets that are owned and operated by other companies in our business. We generally monitor the rental
rates and other terms being offered by our competitors and consider this information as a factor in determining our
own rental rates. In addition to competing with other manufactured home community properties, our communities
also compete with alternative forms of housing (such as apartments and single-family homes).
In connection with the operation of its communities, UMH also leases homes to prospective tenants. As of
December 31, 2023, UMH owned approximately 10,000 rental homes, representing approximately 39% of its
developed homesites. The Company engages in the rental of manufactured homes primarily in areas where the
communities have existing vacancies. The rental homes produce income from both the home and the site which might
otherwise be non-income producing.
Inherent in the operation of a manufactured home community is the development, redevelopment, and
expansion of our communities. In addition to leasing manufactured homes to residents, the Company sells and
finances, through a third-party lending program, the sale of manufactured homes in our communities through its 100%
owned, fully consolidated subsidiary S&F. S&F was established to potentially enhance the value of our communities
by filling sites that would otherwise be vacant. The home sales business is operated as it is with traditional
homebuilders, with sales centers, model homes, an inventory of completed homes and the ability to supply custom
designed homes based upon the requirements of the new homeowners. In addition, our sales centers can earn a profit
by selling homes to customers for placement on their own private land.
Investment and Other Policies
The Company may invest in improved and unimproved real property and may develop unimproved real
property. Such properties may be located throughout the U.S. but the Company has generally concentrated on the
Northeast, Midwest and Southeast. Since 2010, we have quadrupled the number of developed homesites by
purchasing 107 communities containing approximately 18,800 homesites. We are focused on acquiring communities
with significant upside potential and leveraging our expertise to build long-term capital appreciation.
Our growth strategy involves purchasing well-located communities in our target markets. As part of our
growth strategy, we intend to evaluate potential opportunities to expand into additional geographic markets, including
other markets in the southeastern United States.
The Company also evaluates our properties for expansion opportunities. Development of the additional
acreage available for expansion allows us to leverage existing communities and amenities. We believe our ability to
complete expansions translates to greater value creation and cash flow through operating efficiencies. The Company
-4-
has approximately 2,100 acres of additional land potentially available for future development. See PART I, Item 2 –
Properties, for a list of our additional acreage.
The Company seeks to finance acquisitions with the most appropriate available source of capital, including
purchase money mortgages or other financing, which may be first liens, wraparound mortgages or subordinated
indebtedness, sales of investments, and issuance of additional equity securities. In connection with its ongoing
activities, the Company may issue notes, mortgages or other senior securities. The Company intends to use both
secured and unsecured lines of credit. The Company’s joint venture relationship with Nuveen Real Estate also provides
a source of financing for acquisitions of newly developed communities and development of new communities.
The Company may repurchase or reacquire its shares from time to time if, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors, such an acquisition is advantageous to the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022,
the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Common Stock.
In addition to its manufactured home communities, the Company also owns a portfolio of investment
securities, consisting of marketable equity securities issued by other REITs, which represented 1.9% of undepreciated
assets (which is the Company’s total assets excluding accumulated depreciation) at year end. We do not intend to
increase our investments in our REIT securities portfolio. These liquid real estate holdings provide additional
diversification, liquidity and income. The Company, from time to time, may purchase these securities on margin when
the interest and dividend yields exceed the cost of funds.
Regulations, Insurance and Property Maintenance and Improvement
Manufactured home communities are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including
regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, clubhouses and other common areas, and
regulations relating to operating water and wastewater treatment facilities at several of our communities. We believe
that each community has all necessary operating permits and approvals.
Our properties are insured against risks that may cause property damage and business interruption including
events such as fire, business interruption, general liability and if applicable, flood. Our insurance policies contain
deductible requirements, coverage limits and particular exclusions. It is the policy of the Company to maintain
adequate insurance coverage on all of our properties and, in the opinion of management, all of our properties are
adequately insured. We also obtain title insurance insuring fee title to the properties in an aggregate amount which
we believe to be adequate.
State and local rent control laws in certain jurisdictions may dictate the structure of rent increases and limit
our ability to recover increases in operating expenses and the costs of capital improvements. In 2019, the State of
New York enacted the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019, which, among other things, set maximum
collectible rent increases. Rent control also affects three of our manufactured home communities in New Jersey.
Enactment of such laws has been considered at various times in other jurisdictions. We presently expect to continue
to maintain properties, and may purchase additional properties, in markets that are either subject to rent control or in
which rent-related legislation exists or may be enacted.
It is the policy of the Company to properly maintain, modernize, expand and make improvements to its
properties when required. The Company anticipates that renovation expenditures with respect to its present properties
during 2024 will be approximately $20 - $30 million.
Human Capital
The attraction, motivation and retention of our employees are critical factors in furthering the growth and
financial success of the Company. We recognize that our ability to achieve the high standards we set for ourselves
can best be accomplished by having a diverse team. We are committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion
and our benefits programs are designed to achieve employee satisfaction and advancement. As of February 16, 2024,
the Company had approximately 480 employees, including officers. Approximately half of our management team
and 45% of our total employee population are female. Over 41% of our employees are 40 years of age or older and
24% are over 60 years of age. During each year, the Company hires additional part-time and seasonal employees as
groundskeepers and lifeguards and to conduct emergency repairs.
-5-
Our employees are fairly compensated as compared to employees of our competitors and are routinely
recognized for outstanding performance. They are offered regular opportunities to participate in professional
development programs which focus on building their skills and capabilities. We conduct regional training sessions
and are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace that is free from violence, intimidation and other unsafe
or disruptive practices. We hold an annual employee meeting that includes safety training, as required under the
federal Occupational, Safety and Health Act, as well as anti-harassment training. The Company also offers a robust
wellness program to its employees that incorporates health benefits, including incentives for enrolling in exercise
classes and for gym memberships. This encourages our employees to improve their mental and physical well-being.

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Considerations
The Company’s mission is to address the fundamental need of providing affordable housing and in doing so,
create sustainable and environmentally friendly communities that have a positive societal impact. We recognize our
obligation, as well as that of our industry, to reduce our impact on the environment and to conserve natural resources.
We continually invest in energy-efficient technology where practicable, including water and energy conservation
initiatives, and are committed to incorporating environmental and social considerations into our business practices to
create value and enhance the communities where our residents live. We also recognize the importance of good
corporate governance in ensuring the Company’s continued success and maintaining the confidence of our
shareholders and financing sources. Our policies and practices are endorsed and supported by the Company’s
executive management, including its Vice President of ESG, and are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors and
the Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (“ESG”) Subcommittee of the Nominating and Corporate
Responsibility Committee.
Investments in the Company’s common stock and preferred stock may be considered qualified ESG
investments. Sustainalytics, which is a leading independent ESG and corporate governance research ratings and
analytics firm, reviewed our Sustainable Finance Framework and agreed that we not only provide a social good in the
form of providing affordable housing, but also an environmental good for our conservation initiatives. The framework
is also in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals 6, 7 and 11.

Item 1A – Risk Factors
Our business faces many risks. The following risk factors may not be the only risks we face but address what
we believe may be the material risks concerning our business at this time. If any of the risks discussed in this report
were to occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operation and our ability to service our debt
and make distributions to our shareholders could be materially and adversely affected and the market price per share
of our stock could decline significantly. Some statements in this report, including statements in the following risk
factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements.”
Real Estate Industry Risks
General economic conditions and the concentration of our properties in certain states may affect our
ability to generate sufficient revenue to maintain our profitability. The market and economic conditions in our
current markets may significantly affect manufactured home occupancy or rental rates. Occupancy and rental rates,
in turn, may significantly affect our revenues, and if our communities do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our
operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to pay or refinance our
debt obligations could be adversely affected. As a result of the geographic concentration of our properties in ten states
in the Eastern United States, we are exposed to the risks of downturns in the local economy or other local real estate
market conditions which could adversely affect occupancy rates, rental rates, and property values in these markets.
Other factors that may affect general economic conditions or local real estate conditions include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the national and local economic climate, including that of the energy-market dependent Marcellus
and Utica Shale regions, may be adversely impacted by, among other factors, potential restrictions
on drilling, plant closings, and industry slowdowns;
local real estate market conditions such as the oversupply of manufactured homesites or a reduction
in demand for manufactured homesites in an area;
the number of repossessed homes in a particular market;
the lack of an established dealer network;
the rental market which may limit the extent to which rents may be increased to meet increased
expenses without decreasing occupancy rates;
the safety, convenience and attractiveness of our properties and the neighborhoods where they are
located;
zoning or other regulatory restrictions;
competition from other available manufactured home communities and alternative forms of housing
(such as apartment buildings and single-family homes);
our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance;
a pandemic or other health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or other highly infectious or
contagious diseases;
increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities; and
the enactment of rent control laws or laws taxing the owners of manufactured homes.
Our income would also be adversely affected if tenants were unable to pay rent or if sites were unable to be
rented on favorable terms. If we were unable to promptly relet or renew the leases for a significant number of sites,
-10-
or if the rental rates upon such renewal or reletting were significantly lower than expected rates, then our business and
results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, certain expenditures associated with each property (such
as real estate taxes and maintenance costs) generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income
from the property.
We may be unable to compete with our larger competitors for acquisitions, which may increase prices for
communities. The real estate business is highly competitive. We compete for manufactured home community
investments with numerous other real estate entities, such as individuals, corporations, REITs and other enterprises
engaged in real estate activities. In many cases, the competing companies may be larger and better financed than we
are, making it difficult for us to secure new manufactured home community investments. Competition among private
and institutional purchasers of manufactured home community investments has resulted in increases in the purchase
prices paid for manufactured home communities and consequently higher fixed costs. To the extent we are unable to
effectively compete in the marketplace, our business may be adversely affected.
We may not be able to integrate or finance our acquisitions and our acquisitions may not perform as
expected. We acquire and intend to continue to acquire manufactured home communities on a select basis. Our
acquisition activities and their success are subject to risks, including the following:
•
if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, it is usually subject to customary conditions
to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction, which may not
be satisfied;
• we may be unable to finance acquisitions on favorable terms;
•
•
acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;
the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our
estimates;
acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with a lack of
market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships in the area
and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and
•
• we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of
portfolios of properties, into our existing operations.
If any of the above were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In addition, we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited
recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a liability were to be asserted against us based upon
ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our
cash flow.
We may be unable to finance or accurately estimate or anticipate costs and timing associated with
expansion activities. We periodically consider the expansion of existing communities and development of new
communities. Our expansion and development activities are subject to risks such as:
• we may not be able to obtain financing with favorable terms for community development which
may make us unable to proceed with the development;
• we may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, building and other
governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and delays, and even
require us to abandon development of a community entirely if we are unable to obtain such permits
or authorizations;
• we may abandon development opportunities that we have already begun to explore and as a result
we may not recover expenses already incurred in connection with exploring such development
opportunities;
• we may be unable to complete construction and lease‑up of a community on schedule resulting in
increased debt service expense and construction costs;
• we may incur construction and development costs for a community which exceed our original
estimates due to increased materials, labor or other costs, which could make completion of the
community uneconomical and we may not be able to increase rents to compensate for the increase
in development costs which may impact our profitability;
-11-
• we may be unable to secure long‑term financing on completion of development resulting in
•
increased debt service and lower profitability; and
occupancy rates and rents at a newly developed community may fluctuate depending on several
factors, including market and economic conditions, which may result in the community not being
profitable.
If any of the above were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid. Real
estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly and, therefore, will tend to limit our ability to vary our property
portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the Code limits our ability to
sell our properties. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could
adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our debt and make distributions to our shareholders.
Our ability to sell manufactured homes may be affected by various factors, which may in turn adversely
affect our profitability. S&F operates in the manufactured home market offering homes for sale to tenants and
prospective tenants of our communities. The market for the sale of manufactured homes may be adversely affected
by the following factors:
•
•
•
•
•
downturns in economic conditions which adversely impact the housing market;
an oversupply of, or a reduced demand for, manufactured homes;
the ability of manufactured home manufacturers to adapt to change in the economic climate and the
availability of units from these manufacturers;
the difficulty facing potential purchasers in obtaining affordable financing as a result of heightened
lending criteria; and
an increase or decrease in the rate of manufactured home repossessions which provide aggressively
priced competition to new manufactured home sales.
Any of the above listed factors could adversely impact our rate of manufactured home sales, which would
result in a decrease in profitability.
Licensing laws and compliance could affect our profitability. Our subsidiary S&F is subject to the Secure
and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (“SAFE Act”), which requires that we obtain appropriate
licenses pursuant to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System & Registry in each state where S&F conducts
business. There are extensive federal and state requirements mandated by the SAFE Act and other laws pertaining to
financing, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and there can be no assurance
that we will obtain or renew our SAFE Act licenses, which could result in fees and penalties and have an adverse
impact on our ability to continue with our home financing activities.
The termination of our third-party lending program could adversely affect us. S&F currently relies
exclusively on its third-party lending program for all loan origination and servicing activity. As a result, the
termination of our third-party lending program could impact our ability to continue with our home financing activities.
Costs associated with taxes and regulatory compliance may reduce our revenue. We are subject to
significant regulation that inhibits our activities and may increase our costs. Local zoning and use laws, environmental
statutes and other governmental requirements may restrict expansion, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities.
These regulations may prevent us from taking advantage of economic opportunities. Legislation such as the
Americans with Disabilities Act may require us to modify our properties at a substantial cost and noncompliance could
result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Future legislation may impose additional
requirements. We cannot predict what requirements may be enacted or amended or what costs we will incur to comply
with such requirements. Costs resulting from changes in real estate laws, income taxes, service or other taxes may
adversely affect our funds from operations and our ability to pay or refinance our debt. Similarly, changes in laws
increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on
discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
-12-
Laws and regulations also govern the provision of utility services. Such laws regulate, for example, how and
to what extent owners or operators of property can charge renters for provision of utilities. Such laws can also regulate
the operations and performance of utility systems and may impose fines and penalties on real property owners or
operators who fail to comply with these requirements. The laws and regulations may also require capital investment
to maintain compliance.
Rent control legislation may harm our ability to increase rents. State and local rent control laws in certain
jurisdictions may limit our ability to increase rents and to recover increases in operating expenses and the costs of
capital improvements. In 2019, the State of New York enacted the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of
2019, which, among other things, set maximum collectible rent increases. Rent control also affects three of our
manufactured home communities in New Jersey. Enactment of such laws has been considered at various times in
other jurisdictions. We presently expect to continue to maintain properties, and may purchase additional properties,
in markets that are either subject to rent control or in which rent related legislation exists or may be enacted.
Environmental liabilities could affect our profitability. Under various federal, state and local laws,
ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
certain hazardous substances at, on, under or in such property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to
hazardous or toxic substances. Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of,
or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous substances. A conveyance of the property, therefore, does not
relieve the owner or operator from liability. As a current or former owner and operator of real estate, we may be
required by law to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at or from the properties we currently own
or operate or have in the past owned or operated. We may also be liable to the government or to third parties for
property damage, investigation costs and cleanup costs. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the
contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the
contamination. Contamination may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real
estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances also may be liable for
the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility owned or operated by another
person. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for the management and disposal of asbestos-
containing materials and for the release of such materials into the air. These laws may provide for third parties to seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials.
In connection with the ownership, operation, management, and development of real properties, we may be considered
an owner or operator of such properties and, therefore, are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, and also
may be liable for governmental fines and injuries to persons and property. When we arrange for the treatment or
disposal of hazardous substances at landfills or other facilities owned by other persons, we may be liable for the
removal or remediation costs at such facilities. We are not aware of any environmental liabilities relating to our
investment properties which would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, or results of operations.
However, we cannot assure you that environmental liabilities will not arise in the future and that such liabilities will
not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.
Of the 135 manufactured home communities we operated as of December 31, 2023, 46 have their own
wastewater treatment facility or water distribution system, or both. At these locations, we are subject to compliance
with monthly, quarterly and yearly testing for contaminants as outlined by the individual state’s environmental
protection agencies.
In connection with the management of the properties or upon acquisition or financing of a property, the
Company authorizes the preparation of Phase I or similar environmental reports (which involves general inspections
without soil sampling or ground water analysis) completed by independent environmental consultants. Based upon
such environmental reports and the Company’s ongoing review of its properties, as of the date of this Annual Report,
the Company is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of its properties which it believes would
be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and/or results of operations. However,
these reports cannot reflect conditions arising after the studies were completed, and no assurances can be given that
existing environmental studies reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of a property or
neighboring owner or operator did not create any material environmental condition not known to us, or that a material
environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any one or more properties.
Some of our properties are subject to potential natural or other disasters. Certain of our manufactured home
communities are located in areas that may be subject to natural disasters, including our manufactured home
communities in flood plains, in areas that may be adversely affected by tornados and in coastal regions that may be
-13-
adversely affected by increases in sea levels or in the frequency or severity of hurricanes, tropical storms or other
severe weather conditions. The occurrence of natural disasters may delay redevelopment or development projects,
increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increase future property insurance costs and
negatively impact the tenant demand for lease space. To the extent insurance is unavailable to us or is unavailable on
acceptable terms, or our insurance is not adequate to cover losses from these events, our financial condition and results
of operations could be adversely affected.
Climate change may adversely affect our business. To the extent that significant changes in the climate
occur in areas where our properties are located, we may experience extreme weather and changes in precipitation and
temperature, all of which may result in physical damage to or a decrease in demand for properties located in these
areas or affected by these conditions. Should the impact of climate change be material in nature, including significant
property damage to or destruction of our properties, or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition or
results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, changes in federal, state and local legislation and
regulations based on concerns about climate change could result in increased capital expenditures on our properties
(for example, to improve their energy efficiency and/or resistance to inclement weather) without a corresponding
increase in revenue, resulting in adverse impacts to our net income.
Actions by our competitors may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our
properties which could adversely affect our business. We compete with other owners and operators of manufactured
home community properties, some of which own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our
properties are located. The number of competitive manufactured home community properties in a particular area
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to attract tenants, lease sites and maintain or increase rents charged
at our properties or at any newly acquired properties. In addition, other forms of multifamily residential properties,
such as private and federally funded or assisted multifamily housing projects and single-family housing, provide
housing alternatives to potential tenants of manufactured home communities. If our competitors offer housing at
rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential
tenants, and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants
when our tenants’ leases expire.
Losses in excess of our insurance coverage or uninsured losses could adversely affect our cash flow. We
generally maintain insurance policies related to our business, including casualty, general liability and other policies
covering business operations, employees and assets. However, we may be required to bear all losses that are not
adequately covered by insurance. In addition, there are certain losses that are not generally insured because it is not
economically feasible to insure against them, including losses due to riots, acts of war or other catastrophic events. If
an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we
could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated profits and cash flow from the properties
and, in the case of debt which is with recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other
financial obligations related to the properties. Although we believe that our insurance programs are adequate, no
assurance can be given that we will not incur losses in excess of our insurance coverage, or that we will be able to
obtain insurance in the future at acceptable levels and reasonable cost.
Our investments are concentrated in the manufactured housing/residential sector and our business would
be adversely affected by an economic downturn in that sector. Our investments in real estate assets are primarily
concentrated in the manufactured housing/residential sector. This concentration may expose us to the risk of economic
downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our business activities included a more significant portion of other
sectors of the real estate industry.
Our joint venture relationship with Nuveen Real Estate may subject us to risks, including limitations on
our decision-making authority and the risk of disputes, which could adversely affect us. We have entered into joint
venture arrangements with Nuveen Real Estate to acquire manufactured home communities that are recently
developed or under development. We are required to contribute 40% of the capital required for investments by the
joint venture entities. It is possible that our joint venture partner, Nuveen Real Estate, may have business interests,
goals, priorities or concerns that are different from our business interests, goals, priorities or concerns. Although we
manage the joint venture entities and their properties, we do not have full control over decisions and require approval
of Nuveen Real Estate for major decisions. As a result, we may face the risk of disputes, including potential deadlocks
in making decisions. In addition, the joint venture agreements provide that until the capital contributions to the joint
venture entities are fully funded or the joint venture is terminated, and unless Nuveen declines an acquisition proposed
by us, the joint venture will be the exclusive vehicle for us to acquire any manufactured home communities that meet
-14-
the joint venture’s investment guidelines. Nuveen Real Estate will have the right to remove and replace us as
managing member of the joint venture entities and manager of the joint venture’s properties if we breach certain
obligations or certain events occur, in which event Nuveen Real Estate may elect to buy out our interest in the
applicable joint venture entity at 98% of its value. There are also significant restrictions on our ability to exit the joint
venture. Any of these provisions could adversely affect us.
Financing Risks
We face risks generally associated with our debt. We finance a portion of our investments in properties and
marketable securities through debt. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk
that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. In addition, debt creates other
risks, including:
•
•
•
•
rising interest rates on our variable rate debt;
inability to repay or refinance existing debt as it matures, which may result in forced disposition of
assets on disadvantageous terms;
refinancing terms less favorable than the terms of existing debt; and
failure to meet required payments of principal and/or interest.
To the extent we cannot refinance debt on favorable terms or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties on
disadvantageous terms or pay higher interest rates, either of which would have an adverse impact on our financial
performance and ability to service debt and make distributions.
We mortgage our properties, which subjects us to the risk of foreclosure in the event of non-payment. We
mortgage many of our properties to secure payment of indebtedness. If we are unable to meet mortgage payments,
then the property could be foreclosed upon or transferred to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset
value. A foreclosure of one or more of our properties could adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flow, ability to service debt and make distributions and the market price of our Series D Preferred
Stock and Common Stock and any other securities we issue.
We face risks associated with our dependence on external sources of capital. In order to qualify as a REIT, we
are required each year to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, and we are subject to tax
on our income to the extent it is not distributed. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund all
future capital needs from cash retained from operations. As a result, to fund capital needs, we rely on third-party sources
of capital, which we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms, if at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital
depends upon a number of factors, including (i) general market conditions; (ii) the market’s perception of our growth
potential; (iii) our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions; and (iv) the market price of our Series D
Preferred Stock and Common Stock and any other securities we issue. Additional debt financing may substantially
increase our debt-to-total capitalization ratio. Additional equity issuance may dilute the holdings of our current
shareholders.
We may become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and an
increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations
and our ability to pay distributions. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our
activities. Our governing documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, our Board
of Directors may vote to incur additional debt and would do so, for example, if it were necessary to maintain our status
as a REIT. We could therefore become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increased risk of default on our
obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to shareholders.
We are subject to risks associated with the current interest rate environment, and changes in interest rates
may affect our cost of capital and, consequently, our financial results. In 2022 and 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve
raised short term interest rates by a total of 4.25% and 1.00%, respectively. Although rates have recently stabilized,
additional interest rate increases may be possible. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets,
may result in heightened market volatility and may affect our ability to complete potential acquisitions. Because a
portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates, in periods of rising interest rates, such as the current interest rate
environment, our cost of funds would increase, which could adversely affect our cash flows, financial condition and
-15-
results of operations, ability to make distributions to shareholders, and the cost of refinancing. and reduce our access
to the debt or equity capital markets. Increased interest rates could also adversely affect the value of our properties to
the extent that it decreases the amount buyers may be willing to pay for our properties. Additionally, if we choose to
hedge any interest rate risk, we cannot assure that any such hedge will be effective or that our hedging counterparty
will meet its obligations to us. As a result, increased interest rates, including any future increases in interest rates,
could adversely affect us.
Covenants in our credit agreements and other debt instruments could limit our flexibility and adversely affect
our financial condition. The terms of our various credit agreements and other indebtedness require us to comply with a
number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and
maintaining insurance coverage. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these
covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our
payment obligations. If we were to default under our credit agreements, our financial condition would be adversely
affected.
A change in the U.S. government policy with regard to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could impact our
financial condition. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are major sources of financing for the manufactured housing real estate
sector. We depend frequently on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to finance growth by purchasing or guaranteeing
manufactured housing community loans. A decision by the government to eliminate Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or
reduce their acquisitions or guarantees of our mortgage loans, may adversely affect interest rates, capital availability and
our ability to refinance our existing mortgage obligations as they come due and obtain additional long-term financing for
the acquisition of additional communities on favorable terms or at all.
We face risks associated with the financing of home sales to customers in our manufactured home
communities. To produce new rental revenue and to upgrade our communities, we sell homes to customers in our
communities at competitive prices and finance these home sales through S&F. We allow banks and outside finance
companies the first opportunity to finance these sales. We are subject to the following risks in financing these homes:
•
•
•
•
•
the borrowers may default on these loans and not be able to make debt service payments or pay
principal when due;
the default rates may be higher than we anticipate;
demand for consumer financing may not be as great as we anticipate or may decline;
the value of property securing the installment notes receivable may be less than the amounts owed;
and
interest rates payable on the installment notes receivable may be lower than our cost of funds.
Additionally, there are many regulations pertaining to our home sales and financing activities. There are
significant consumer protection laws and the regulatory framework may change in a manner which may adversely
affect our operating results. The regulatory environment and associated consumer finance laws create a risk of greater
liability from our home sales and financing activities and could subject us to additional litigation. We are also
dependent on licenses granted by state and other regulatory authorities, which may be withdrawn or which may not
be renewed and which could have an adverse impact on our ability to continue with our home sales and financing
activities.
Risks Related to our Status as a REIT
If our leases are not respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a
REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must, among other things, satisfy two gross income tests, under which specified
percentages of our gross income must be certain types of passive income, such as rent. For the rent paid pursuant to our
leases to qualify for purposes of the gross income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for federal income tax
purposes and not be treated as service contracts, joint venture or some other type of arrangement. We believe that our
leases will be respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes. However, there can be no assurance that the Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) will agree with this view. If the leases are not respected as true leases for federal income tax
purposes, we would not be able to satisfy either of the two gross income tests applicable to REITs, and we could lose our
REIT status.
-16-
Failure to make required distributions would subject us to additional tax. In order to qualify as a REIT, we
must, among other requirements, distribute, each year, to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income, excluding
net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable
income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed income. In addition, we will incur a 4%
nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which our distributions (or deemed distributions) in any year are less
than the sum of:
•
•
•
85% of our ordinary income for that year;
95% of our capital gain net earnings for that year; and
100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years.
To the extent we pay out in excess of 100% of our taxable income for any tax year, we may be able to carry
forward such excess to subsequent years to reduce our required distributions for purposes of the 4% nondeductible
excise tax in such subsequent years. We intend to pay out our income to our shareholders in a manner intended to
satisfy the 90% distribution requirement. Differences in timing between the recognition of income and the related cash
receipts or the effect of required debt amortization payments could require us to borrow money or sell assets to pay
out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax.
We may not have sufficient cash available from operations to pay distributions to our shareholders, and,
therefore, distributions may be made from borrowings. The actual amount and timing of distributions to our shareholders
will be determined by our Board of Directors in its discretion and typically will depend on the amount of cash available
for distribution, which will depend on items such as current and projected cash requirements, limitations on distributions
imposed by law on our financing arrangements and tax considerations. As a result, we may not have sufficient cash
available from operations to pay distributions as required to maintain our status as a REIT. Therefore, we may need to
borrow funds to make sufficient cash distributions in order to maintain our status as a REIT, which may cause us to incur
additional interest expense as a result of an increase in borrowed funds for the purpose of paying distributions.
We may be required to pay a penalty tax upon the sale of property that is determined to be held for sale to
customers. The federal income tax provisions applicable to REITs provide that any gain realized by a REIT on the sale of
property held as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is treated
as income from a “prohibited transaction” that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. Under current law, unless a sale of real
property qualifies for a safe harbor, the question of whether the sale of real estate or other property constitutes the sale of
property held primarily for sale to customers is generally a question of the facts and circumstances regarding a particular
transaction. We intend that we and our subsidiaries will hold the interests in the real estate for investment with a view to
long-term appreciation, engage in the business of acquiring and owning real estate, and make occasional sales as are
consistent with our investment objectives. We do not intend to engage in prohibited transactions. We cannot assure you,
however, that we will only make sales that satisfy the requirements of the safe harbors or that the IRS will not successfully
assert that one or more of such sales are prohibited transactions.
We may be adversely affected if we fail to qualify as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be
allowed to deduct distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income and will be subject to federal income
tax at regular corporate rates and possibly increased state and local taxes. In addition, we might be barred from
qualification as a REIT for the four years following the year of disqualification. The additional tax incurred at regular
corporate rates would reduce significantly the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service.
Furthermore, we would no longer be required to make any distributions to our shareholders as a condition to REIT
qualification. Any distributions to shareholders would be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of our current and
accumulated earnings and profits, although such dividend distributions to non-corporate shareholders would be subject
to a maximum federal income tax rate of 20% (and potentially a federal tax on net investment income of 3.8%),
provided applicable requirements of the Code are satisfied. Furthermore, corporate shareholders may be eligible for
the dividends received deduction on the distributions, subject to limitations under the Code. Additionally, if we fail to
qualify as a REIT, non-corporate shareholders would no longer be able to deduct up to 20% of our dividends (other
than capital gain dividends and dividends treated as qualified dividend income), as would otherwise generally be
permitted for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026.
To qualify as a REIT, we must comply with certain highly technical and complex requirements. We cannot
be certain we have complied, and will always be able to comply, with the requirements to qualify as a REIT because there
-17-
are few judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions. In addition, facts and circumstances that may be
beyond our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. We cannot assure you that new legislation,
regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws significantly with respect to our
qualification as a REIT or with respect to the federal income tax consequences of qualification. We believe that we have
qualified as a REIT since our inception and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT. However, we cannot assure you that
we are so qualified or will remain so qualified.
There is a risk of changes in the tax law applicable to REITs. Because the IRS, the U.S. Treasury Department
and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new
federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Numerous changes to the U.S. federal income tax
laws are proposed on a regular basis. Any of such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our tax
treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us and/or our investors. Additionally, the REIT rules are
continually under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department,
which may result in revisions to regulations and interpretations in addition to statutory changes. Furthermore, members
of the U.S. Congress and the Biden administration have expressed intent to pass legislation to change or repeal parts
of currently enacted tax law, including, in particular, legislation that will increase corporate tax rates from the current
flat rate of 21%. If enacted, certain proposed changes could have an adverse impact on our business and financial results.
Importantly, legislation has been proposed in several states specifically taxing REITs. If such legislation were to be
enacted, our income from such states would be adversely impacted.
We may be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs. To
maintain qualification as a REIT under the Code, a REIT must annually distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of
its REIT taxable income, excluding the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains. This requirement limits our
ability to accumulate capital. We may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the distribution
requirements. Difficulties in meeting the distribution requirements might arise due to competing demands for our
funds or to timing differences between tax reporting and cash receipts and disbursements, because income may have
to be reported before cash is received, because expenses may have to be paid before a deduction is allowed, because
deductions may be disallowed or limited or because the IRS may make a determination that adjusts reported income.
In those situations, we might be required to borrow funds or sell properties on adverse terms in order to meet the
distribution requirements and interest and penalties could apply which could adversely affect our financial condition.
If we fail to make a required distribution, we could cease to be taxed as a REIT.
Our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) is subject to special rules that may result in increased taxes. As a REIT,
we must pay a 100% penalty tax on certain payments that we receive or on certain deductions taken if the economic
arrangements between us and our TRS are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties. The IRS
may successfully assert that the economic arrangements of any of our inter-company transactions are not comparable to
similar arrangements between unrelated parties, and may assess the above 100% penalty tax or make other reallocations
of income or loss. This would result in unexpected tax liability which would adversely affect our cash flows.
Notwithstanding our status as a REIT, we are subject to various federal, state and local taxes on our income
and property. For example, we will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed taxable income, including
undistributed net capital gains; provided, however, that properly designated undistributed capital gains will effectively
avoid taxation at the shareholder level. We may be subject to other Federal income taxes and may also have to pay some
state income or franchise taxes because not all states treat REITs in the same manner as they are treated for federal income
tax purposes.
General Risk Factors
Global and regional economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition and growth. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession,
tighter credit, higher interest rates and high unemployment could materially adversely impact our business, results of
operations, financial condition and growth. In addition, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic
conditions could have a significant impact on our suppliers.
We may not be able to obtain adequate cash to fund our business. Our business requires access to adequate
cash to finance our operations, distributions, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, development and
-18-
redevelopment costs and property acquisition costs, if any. We expect to generate the cash to be used for these purposes
primarily with operating cash flow, borrowings under secured and unsecured loans, proceeds from sales of
strategically identified assets and, when market conditions permit, through the issuance of debt and equity securities
from time to time. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to fund our business, particularly if we are unable
to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire according to our expectations.
We are dependent on key personnel. Our executive and other senior officers have a significant role in our
success. Our ability to retain our management group or to attract suitable replacements should any members of the
management group leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key
members of the management group or a limitation in their availability could adversely affect our financial condition and
cash flow. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report financial
results, which could result in a loss of investor confidence and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We are required by securities laws and provisions of our debt instruments to establish and maintain internal control over
financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Disclosure controls and procedures are processes designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed is communicated to management and reported in a timely manner. We
cannot be certain that we will be successful in continuing to maintain adequate control over our financial reporting and
disclosure controls and procedures. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial
reporting that may occur could result in misstatements or restatements of our financial statements or a decline in the price
of our securities. In addition, as our business continues to grow, and as we continue to make significant acquisitions, our
internal controls will become more complex and may require significantly more resources to ensure that our disclosure
controls and procedures remain effective. Acquisitions can pose challenges in implementing the required processes,
procedures and controls in the operations of the companies that we acquire. Any companies that are acquired by us may
not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as
those required by the securities laws that currently apply to us. Moreover, the existence of any material weakness or
significant deficiency in our internal controls and procedures would require management to devote significant time and
incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and management may not
be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner. If we do not maintain an
effective system of internal controls and cannot provide reliable financial reports, our reputation, operating results and
access to capital could be materially adversely affected, which could lead to a loss of confidence by investors in our
reported financial information, which in turn could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and preferred
stock.
Some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related party
transactions and other business interests. Mr. Eugene W. Landy, the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company, previously owned a 24% interest in the entity that is the landlord of the property in Freehold, New Jersey
where the Company’s executive offices are located. Effective January 2023, Mr. Eugene Landy transferred this ownership
to his son, Mr. Samuel A. Landy, the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and other
family members. Effective October 1, 2019, the Company entered into a new lease for these executive offices in Freehold,
New Jersey which combined the existing corporate office space with additional adjacent office space. This new lease
extended the previous lease through April 30, 2027 and required monthly lease payments of $23,098 through April 30,
2022 and $23,302 from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2027. The Company is also responsible for its proportionate share
of real estate taxes and common area maintenance. Mr. Samuel A. Landy may have a conflict of interest with respect to
his obligations as our officer and/or director and his ownership interest in the landlord of the property.
Further, Mr. Eugene W. Landy owns a 9.6% interest, Mr. Samuel A. Landy owns a 4.8% interest, Mr. Daniel
Landy, who is also an officer of the Company and is Samuel A. Landy’s son, owns a 0.96% interest, and the Samuel Landy
Family Limited Partnership (of which Daniel Landy is the sole general partner) own a 0.96% interest in the qualified
opportunity zone fund, UMH OZ Fund, LLC (“OZ Fund”), that was formed by the Company in 2022. In addition, one of
the Company’s independent directors owns a 0.96% interest in the OZ Fund.
We may amend our business policies without shareholder approval. Our Board of Directors determines our
growth, investment, financing, capitalization, borrowing, REIT status, operations and distributions policies. Although our
-19-
Board of Directors has no present intention to change or reverse any of these policies, they may be amended or revised
without notice to shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders may not have control over changes in our policies. We cannot
assure you that changes in our policies will fully serve the interests of all shareholders.
Third-party expectations relating to environmental, social and governance factors may impose additional costs
and expose us to new risks. There is an increasing focus from certain investors concerning corporate responsibility,
specifically related to environmental, social and governance factors. In addition, there is an increased focus on such matters
by various regulatory authorities, including the SEC, and the activities and expense required to comply with new
regulations or standards may be significant. Some investors may use these factors to guide their investment strategies and,
in some cases, may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies relating to corporate responsibility are inadequate.
Third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports on companies have increased in number, resulting in
varied and in some cases inconsistent standards. In addition, the criteria by which companies’ corporate responsibility
practices are assessed and the regulations applicable thereto are evolving, which could result in greater expectations of us
and cause us to undertake costly initiatives or activities to satisfy such new criteria or regulations. Further, if we elect not
to or are unable to satisfy such new criteria or do not meet the criteria of a specific third-party provider, some investors
may conclude that our policies with respect to corporate responsibility are inadequate. We may face reputational damage
in the event that our corporate responsibility procedures or standards do not meet the standards set by various
constituencies. Furthermore, if our competitors’ corporate responsibility performance is perceived to be superior to ours,
potential or current investors may elect to invest in our competitors instead of us. In addition, we could fail, or be perceived
to fail, in our achievement of our initiatives and goals with respect to environmental, social and governance matters, or we
could be criticized for the scope of such initiatives or goals. If we fail to satisfy the expectations of investors, our initiatives
are not executed as planned, or we do not satisfy our goals, our reputation and financial results could be adversely affected.
The market value of our Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock could decrease based on our
performance and market perception and conditions. The market value of our Series D Preferred Stock and Common
Stock may be based primarily upon the market’s perception of our growth potential and current and future cash dividends,
and may be secondarily based upon the real estate market value of our underlying assets. The market price of our Series D
Preferred Stock and Common Stock is influenced by their respective distributions relative to market interest rates. Rising
interest rates may lead potential buyers of our stock to expect a higher distribution rate, which could adversely affect the
market price of our stock. In addition, rising interest rates would result in increased expense, thereby adversely affecting
cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay distributions.
The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly. The per-share
trading price of our Common Stock may fluctuate. In addition, the trading volume in our Common Stock may fluctuate
and cause significant price variations to occur. If the per-share trading price of our Common Stock declines
significantly, investors in our Common Stock may be unable to resell their shares at or above their purchase price. We
cannot provide any assurance that the per-share trading price of our Common Stock will not fluctuate or decline
significantly in the future.
Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading
volume of our stock include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or dividends;
changes in our funds from operations or earnings estimates;
publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry;
prevailing interest rates;
the market for similar securities;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
adverse market reaction to any additional debt we incur in the future;
additions or departures of key management personnel;
actions by institutional shareholders;
speculation in the press or investment community;
the extent of investor interest in our securities;
the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of our equity securities in comparison to other
equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate-based companies;
-20-
our underlying asset value;
investor confidence in the stock and bond markets, generally;
changes in tax laws;
future equity issuances;
failure to meet earnings estimates;
failure to maintain our REIT status;
changes in valuation of our REIT securities portfolio;
general economic and financial market conditions;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
• war, terrorist acts and epidemic disease, including the COVID-19 pandemic or other highly infectious or
contagious diseases;
our issuance of debt or preferred equity securities;
our financial condition, results of operations and prospects; and
the realization of any of the other risk factors presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
•

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility
in the price of their Common Stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s
attention and resources, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and
per-share trading price of our Common Stock.
The market prices and trading volumes of our Series D Preferred Stock may fluctuate significantly.
Although our Series D Preferred Stock is listed and traded on the NYSE, the trading markets for the Series D Preferred
Stock is limited. Since the Series D Preferred Stock has no maturity date, investors seeking liquidity may elect to sell
their shares of Series D Preferred Stock in the secondary market. If an active trading market does not exist, the market
price and liquidity of the Series D Preferred Stock may be adversely affected by such sales. Even if an active public
market exists, we cannot guarantee that the market price for the Series D Preferred Stock will equal or exceed the
price that investors in the Series D Preferred Stock paid for their shares.
Future issuance or sale of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities
could adversely affect the trading prices of our outstanding Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock. Future
issuances or sales of substantial numbers of shares of our Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities in the
public market, or the perception that such issuances or sales might occur, could adversely affect the per-share trading
prices of our Preferred Stock or Common Stock. The per-share trading price of our Preferred Stock or Common Stock
may decline significantly upon the sale or registration of additional shares of our Preferred Stock or Common Stock
or other securities.
Future issuances of our debt securities, which would be senior to our Series D Preferred Stock upon
liquidation, or preferred equity securities which may be senior to our Series D Preferred Stock for purposes of
dividend distributions or upon liquidation, may adversely affect the per-share trading prices of our Series D
Preferred Stock. In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by issuing additional debt securities
and/or additional classes or series of preferred stock. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and lenders with
respect to other borrowings will be entitled to receive our available assets prior to any distribution to holders of our
Series D Preferred Stock. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may
have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our Series D Preferred Stock. Any shares of
preferred stock that we issue in the future could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on
dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to holders of our Series D Preferred Stock. Any such
future issuances may adversely affect the trading price of our Series D Preferred Stock.
There are restrictions on the transfer of our capital stock. To maintain our qualification as a REIT under the
Code, no more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, actually or by attribution, by five or
fewer individuals, as defined in the Code to also include certain entities, during the last half of a taxable year. Accordingly,
our charter contains provisions restricting the transfer of our capital stock. These restrictions may discourage a tender offer
or other transaction, or a change in management or of control of us that might involve a premium price for our Series D
Preferred Stock or Common Stock or that our shareholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests, and may result
in the transfer of shares acquired in excess of the restrictions to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary and, as a
result, the forfeiture by the acquirer of the benefits of owning the additional shares.

The dual listing of our Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange (“TASE”) may result in price variations that could adversely affect liquidity of the market for our
Common Stock. Our Common Stock is listed and trades on both the NYSE and the TASE. The dual listing may result
in price variations of our Common Stock between the two exchanges due to various factors, including the use of
different currencies and the different days and hours of trading for the two exchanges. Any decrease in the trading
price of our Common Stock in one market could cause a decrease in the trading price in the other market. In addition,
the dual-listing may adversely affect liquidity and trading prices on one or both of the exchanges as a result of
circumstances that may be outside of our control. For example, transfers by holders of our securities from trading on
one exchange to the other could result in increases or decreases in liquidity and/or trading prices on either or both of
the exchanges. Holders could also seek to sell or buy our Common Stock to take advantage of any price differences
between the two markets through a practice referred to as arbitrage. Any such arbitrage activity could create volatility
in both the price and volume of trading of our Common Stock.
The existing mechanism for the dual listing of securities on the NYSE and the TASE may be eliminated
or modified in a manner that may subject us to additional regulatory burden and additional costs. The current
Israeli regulatory regime provides a mechanism for the dual-listing of securities traded on the NYSE and the TASE
that does not impose any significant regulatory burden or significant costs on us. If this dual-listing regime is
eliminated or modified, it may become more difficult for us to comply with the regulatory requirements, and this could
result in additional costs. In such event, we may consider delisting of our Common Stock from the TASE.
We are subject to restrictions that may impede our ability to effect a change in control. Certain provisions
contained in our charter and bylaws and certain provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of discouraging a third
party from making an acquisition proposal for us and thereby inhibit a change in control. These provisions include the
following:
• Our charter provides for three classes of directors with the term of office of one class expiring each
year, commonly referred to as a “staggered board.” By preventing common shareholders from
voting on the election of more than one class of directors at any annual meeting of shareholders, this
provision may have the effect of keeping the current members of our Board of Directors in control
for a longer period of time than shareholders may desire.
• Our charter generally limits any holder from acquiring more than 9.8% (in value or in number,
whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding equity stock (defined as all of our classes of capital
stock, except our excess stock). While this provision is intended to assure our ability to remain a
qualified REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the ownership limit may also limit the opportunity
for shareholders to receive a premium for their shares of Common Stock that might otherwise exist
if an investor was attempting to assemble a block of shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding
shares of equity stock or otherwise effect a change in control.
• The request of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at such
meeting is necessary for shareholders to call a special meeting. We also require advance notice by
common shareholders for the nomination of directors or proposals of business to be considered at a
meeting of shareholders.
•
• Our Board of Directors may authorize and cause us to issue securities without shareholder approval.
Under our charter, the board has the power to classify and reclassify any of our unissued shares of capital
stock into shares of capital stock with such preferences, rights, powers and restrictions as the Board of
Directors may determine.
“Business combination” provisions that provide that, unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not
engage in certain business combinations, including mergers, dispositions of 10% or more of its assets,
certain issuances of shares of stock and other specified transactions, with an “interested shareholder” or
an affiliate of an interested shareholder for five years after the most recent date on which the interested
shareholder became an interested shareholder, and thereafter unless specified criteria are met. An
interested shareholder is defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the
voting power of our shares or an affiliate thereof or an affiliate or associate of ours who was the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding
voting stock at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question.
• The duties of directors of a Maryland corporation do not require them to, among other things (a) accept,
recommend or respond to any proposal by a person seeking to acquire control of the corporation, (b)
-22-
authorize the corporation to redeem any rights under, or modify or render inapplicable, any shareholders
rights plan, (c) make a determination under the Maryland Business Combination Act or the Maryland
Control Share Acquisition Act to exempt any person or transaction from the requirements of those
provisions, or (d) act or fail to act solely because of the effect of the act or failure to act may have on an
acquisition or potential acquisition of control of the corporation or the amount or type of consideration
that may be offered or paid to the shareholders in an acquisition.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay distributions regularly. Our ability to pay distributions in the
future is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations and the operations of our
subsidiaries and is subject to limitations under our financing arrangements and Maryland law. Under the Maryland General
Corporation Law, a Maryland corporation generally may not make a distribution if, after giving effect to the distribution,
the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as the debts became due in the usual course of business, or the
corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus, unless the charter permits otherwise, the
amount that would be needed if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution to satisfy the preferential
rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights on dissolution are superior to those receiving the
distribution. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay distributions on a regular quarterly basis in the
future.
Dividends on our capital stock do not qualify for the reduced federal tax rates available for some dividends
(i.e., they are not qualified dividends). Income from “qualified dividends” payable to U.S. shareholders that are
individuals, trusts and estates are generally subject to tax at preferential rates. Dividends payable by REITs, however,
generally are not eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. Although these rules
do not adversely affect our taxation or the dividends payable by us, to the extent that the preferential rates continue to
apply to regular corporate qualified dividends, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive an
investment in us to be relatively less attractive than an investment in the stock of a non-REIT corporation that pays
qualified dividends, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the shares of, and per share trading price
of, our capital stock. It should be noted that the TCJA provides for a deduction from income for individuals, trusts
and estates up to 20% of certain REIT dividends, which reduces the effective tax rate on such dividends below the
effective tax rate on interest, though the deduction is generally not as favorable as the preferential rate on qualified
dividends. The deduction for certain REIT dividends, unlike the favorable rate for qualified dividends, currently
expires after 2025.
We are subject to risks arising from litigation. We may become involved in litigation. Litigation can be
costly, and the results of litigation are often difficult to predict. We may not have adequate insurance coverage or
contractual protection to cover costs and liability in the event we are sued, and to the extent we resort to litigation to
enforce our rights, we may incur significant costs and ultimately be unsuccessful or unable to recover amounts we
believe are owed to us. We may have little or no control of the timing of litigation, which presents challenges to our
strategic planning.
Future terrorist attacks and military conflicts could have a material adverse effect on general economic
conditions, consumer confidence and market liquidity. Among other things, it is possible that interest rates may be
affected by these events. An increase in interest rates may increase our costs of borrowing, leading to a reduction in our
earnings. Terrorist acts affecting our properties could also result in significant damages to, or loss of, our properties.
Additionally, we may be unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage on acceptable economic terms for losses resulting
from acts of terrorism. Our lenders may require that we carry terrorism insurance even if we do not believe this insurance
is necessary or cost effective. Should an act of terrorism result in an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits,
we could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining
obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types
would adversely affect our financial condition.
Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms and have
other adverse effects on us and the market price of our capital stock. Uncertainty in the stock and credit markets may
negatively impact our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms, which may negatively affect our ability to
acquire properties and otherwise pursue our investment strategy. A prolonged downturn in the stock or credit markets may
cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and may require us to adjust our investment
strategy accordingly. These types of events in the stock and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for us to
-23-
raise capital through the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other equity or debt securities. The
potential disruptions in the financial markets may have a material adverse effect on the market value of the Series D
Preferred Stock and Common Stock, any other securities we issue, and/or the economy in general. In addition, the national
and local economic climate, including that of the energy-market dependent Marcellus and Utica Shale regions, may be
adversely impacted by, among other factors, potential restrictions on drilling, plant closings and industry slowdowns,
which may have a material adverse effect on the return we receive on our properties and investments, as well as other
unknown adverse effects on us.
We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks which could adversely affect our business, cause loss of
confidential information and disrupt operations. We rely extensively on information technology to process
transactions and manage our business. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data,
including our business information and that of our tenants, clients, vendors and employees on our network. This data
is hosted on internal, as well as external, computer systems. Our external systems are hosted by third-party service
providers that may have access to such information in connection with providing necessary information technology
and security and other business services to us. This information may include personally identifiable information such
as social security numbers, banking information and credit card information. We employ a number of measures to
prevent, detect and mitigate potential breaches or disclosure of this confidential information. We have established a
Cybersecurity Subcommittee of our Audit Committee to review and provide high level guidance on cybersecurity
related issues of importance to the Company. We also maintain cyber risk insurance to provide some coverage for
certain risks arising out of data and network breaches. While we continue to improve our cybersecurity and take
measures to protect our business, we and our third-party service providers may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers
(including through malware, ransomware, computer viruses, and email phishing schemes) or breached due to
employee error, malfeasance, fire, flood or other physical event, or other disruptions. Any such breach or disruption
could compromise the confidential information of our employees, customers and vendors to the extent such
information exists on our systems or on the systems of third-party providers. Such an incident could result in potential
liability or a loss of confidence and legal claims or proceedings; damage our reputation, competitiveness, stock price
and long-term value; increase remediation, cybersecurity protection and insurance premium costs; disrupt and affect
our business operations; or have material adverse effects on our business.
We are dependent on continuous access to the Internet to use our cloud-based applications. Damage or
failure to our information technology systems, including as a result of any of the reasons described above, could
adversely affect our results of operations as we may incur significant costs or data loss. We continually assess new
and enhanced information technology solutions to manage risk of system failure or interruption.
We face risks relating to expanding use of social media mediums. The use of social media could cause us
to suffer brand damage or information leakage. Negative posts or comments about us or our properties on any social
networking website could damage our, or our properties’ reputations. In addition, employees or others might disclose
non-public sensitive information relating to our business through external media channels. The continuing evolution
of social media may present us with new challenges and risks. The considerable increase in the use of social media
over recent years has greatly expanded the potential scope and scale, and increased the rapidity of the dissemination
of negative publicity that could be generated by negative posts and comments.
Our opportunity zone fund may fail to qualify for the tax benefits available for investments in qualified
opportunity zones under the detailed rules adopted by the Internal Revenue Service. Some aspects of the Qualified
Opportunity Zone rules adopted by the Internal Revenue Service remain uncertain. Legislation may be needed to
clarify certain of the provisions in the Qualified Opportunity Zone rules and to give proper effect to Congressional
intent as expressed in the TCJA. No assurance can be provided that additional legislation will be enacted, and even if
enacted, that such additional legislation will clearly address all items that require or would benefit from clarification.
It is unclear if additional guidance will be released, or in what manner the Treasury Department will resolve any
remaining areas of uncertainty. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that our opportunity zone fund will qualify
under the Qualified Opportunity Zone rules as a Qualified Opportunity Zone fund or that the Company will be able to
realize, through its investment in the fund, any of the desired tax benefits.
We face various risks and uncertainties related to public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or
other highly infectious or contagious diseases. Although the World Health Organization declared the public health
emergency to be over, we face various risks and uncertainties related to public health crises, such as the global COVID-
19 pandemic, which disrupted financial markets and significantly impacted worldwide economic activity. A further
-24-
outbreak of COVID-19 or other future health crisis, as well as mandatory and voluntary actions taken to mitigate the public
health impact of any such health crisis may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. The COVID-19
pandemic and social and governmental responses to the pandemic caused, and may continue to cause, severe economic,
market and other disruptions worldwide. Although the COVID-19 pandemic and related societal and government
responses did not have a material impact on our business or financial results, the extent to which COVID-19 and other
health crises may, in the future, impact our operations cannot be predicted with any degree of confidence, but they could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.
Item 1B – Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C – Cybersecurity
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and its Cybersecurity Subcommittee are responsible for
overseeing the Company’s risk management program and cybersecurity is a critical element of this program.
Management is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Company’s risk management program and its
cybersecurity policies, processes, and practices. The Company’s cybersecurity policies, standards, processes, and
practices are based on recognized frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the
International Organization for Standardization and other applicable industry standards and are fully integrated into the
Company’s overall risk management system and processes. In general, the Company seeks to address material
cybersecurity threats through a company-wide approach that addresses the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of the Company’s information systems or the information that the Company collects and stores, by assessing,
identifying and managing cybersecurity issues as they occur.
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
The Company’s cybersecurity risk management strategy focuses on several areas:
•
Identification and Reporting: The Company has implemented a comprehensive, cross-functional
approach to assessing, identifying and managing material cybersecurity threats and incidents. The
Company’s program includes controls and procedures to properly identify, classify and escalate certain
cybersecurity incidents to provide management visibility and obtain direction from management as to
the public disclosure and reporting of material incidents in a timely manner.
• Technical Safeguards: The Company implements technical safeguards that are designed to protect the
Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats. The company uses a managed antivirus
platform and mobile device management on all company devices to scan for viruses, manage patching
and updates, and provide remote support and monitoring tools. Firewalls, web filtration, network
intrusion prevention measures, monitoring nodes, and network access controls are evaluated annually
and improved through vulnerability assessments. All company accounts have strong passwords, two
factor authentication, and domain authentication enforced. The IT Department researches emerging
cybersecurity threats and keeps employees informed on the best security practices.
•
Incident Response and Recovery Planning: The Company has established and maintains
comprehensive incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery plans designed to address
the Company’s response to a cybersecurity incident. The Company conducts regular tabletop exercises
to test these plans and ensure personnel are familiar with their roles in a response scenario.
• Third-Party Risk Management: The Company maintains a comprehensive, risk-based approach to
identifying and overseeing material cybersecurity threats presented by third parties, including vendors,
service providers, and other external users of the Company’s systems, as well as the systems of third
parties that could adversely impact our business in the event of a material cybersecurity incident
affecting those third-party systems, including any outside auditors or consultants who advise on the
Company’s cybersecurity systems.
-25-
• Education and Awareness: The Company provides regular, mandatory training for all levels of
employees regarding cybersecurity threats as a means to equip the Company’s employees with effective
tools to address cybersecurity threats, and to communicate the Company’s evolving information
security policies, standards, processes, and practices.
The Company conducts periodic assessment and testing of the Company’s policies, standards, processes, and
practices in a manner intended to address cybersecurity threats and events. The Company conducts quarterly reviews
of backup logs, access privileges, financial transactions, and application updates. Backups are tested for integrity and
functionality. The company regularly conducts seminars on the rollout of new applications and features for employees,
as well as administering phishing testing and security awareness training. Penetration testing is conducted annually to
verify the integrity of the Company’s network security. The results of such assessments, audits, and reviews are
evaluated by management and reported to the Cybersecurity Subcommittee and the Board, and the Company adjusts
its cybersecurity policies, standards, processes, and practices as necessary based on the information provided by these
assessments, audits, and reviews.
Governance
The Board, in coordination with the Cybersecurity Subcommittee, oversees the Company’s risk management
program, including the management of cybersecurity threats. The Board and the Cybersecurity Subcommittee each
receive regular presentations and reports on developments in the cybersecurity space, including risk management
practices, recent developments, evolving standards, vulnerability assessments, third-party and independent reviews,
the threat environment, technological trends, and information security issues encountered by the Company’s peers and
third parties. The Board and the Cybersecurity Subcommittee also receive prompt and timely information regarding
any cybersecurity risk that meets pre-established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such
risk. On an annual basis, the Board and the Cybersecurity Subcommittee discuss the Company’s approach to
overseeing cybersecurity threats with the Company’s IT Department and members of senior management.
The IT Department, in coordination with members of senior management including the Executive Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and the
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, works collaboratively across the Company to implement a
program designed to protect the Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats and to promptly respond
to any material cybersecurity incidents in accordance with the Company’s incident response and recovery plans. To
facilitate the success of the Company’s cybersecurity program, cross-functional teams throughout the Company
address cybersecurity threats and respond to cybersecurity incidents. Through ongoing communications with these
teams, the IT Department and senior management are informed about and monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation
and remediation of cybersecurity threats and incidents in real time and report such threats and incidents to the
Cybersecurity Subcommittee when appropriate.
The members of the IT Department have served in various roles in information technology and information
security for over 5 years. The IT Systems Administrator has experience in monitoring arising security threats, creating
documented cybersecurity and technology usage policies, and bringing companies into compliance with cybersecurity
regulations. The IT Systems Administrator has been certified in Network Administration and Security, Systems
Administration, and Database Vulnerability Assessment via Cisco and IBM. The Company’s IT Technician has been
certified via the committee on National Security Systems and National Security Agency as an Information Systems
Security Professional.
Material Effects of Cybersecurity Incidents
Risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not
materially affected and are not reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy,
results of operations, or financial condition.
Item 2 – Properties
UMH Properties, Inc. is engaged in the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities. As of
December 31, 2023, the Company owned 135 manufactured home communities (including two communities acquired
through the Company’s opportunity zone fund) containing approximately 25,800 developed sites, located in New
-26-
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Alabama, South Carolina and
Georgia. The Company also has an ownership interest in and operates two communities in Florida through its joint
venture relationship with Nuveen. The rents collectible from the land in our communities ultimately depend on the
value of the home and land. Therefore, fewer but more expensive homes can actually produce the same or greater
rents. There is a long-term trend toward larger manufactured homes. Existing manufactured home communities
designed for older manufactured homes must be modified to accommodate modern, wider and longer manufactured
homes. These changes may decrease the number of homes that may be accommodated in a manufactured home

(1) Community is owned by the opportunity zone fund.
(2) Community was closed due to unusual flooding throughout the region in May 2011. We are currently working on the redevelopment of this
community. The total redevelopment will be 237 sites. Phases I and II, consisting of 90 sites, are fully complete and occupied. Phase III,
consisting of 44 sites, was recently completed in 2023 and in the process of being occupied. Phase IV has been approved by city council and
will allow up to an additional 103 sites.
(3) We are currently seeking site plan approvals for approximately 360 sites for this property.
The Company also has 2,134 undeveloped acres that may be developed into approximately 8,500 sites. We
have approximately 3,400 sites in various stages of the approval process that may be developed over the next 7 years.
Due to the uncertainties involved in the approval and construction process, it is difficult to predict the number of sites
which will be completed in a given year.
In addition to the communities owned by the Company listed above, a joint venture entity owned by the
Company and Nuveen Real Estate owns Sebring Square, a newly-developed all-age, manufactured home community
located in Sebring, Florida, which was acquired in December 2021. This community contains 219 developed
homesites situated on approximately 39 acres. In addition, this joint venture entity owns Rum Runner, a newly-
developed all-age, manufactured home community, also located in Sebring, Florida, which was acquired in December
2022. This community contains 144 developed homesites situated on approximately 20 acres. In 2023, the Company
expanded its joint venture relationship with Nuveen Real Estate and formed a new joint venture entity focused on the
development of a new manufactured housing community located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania. The community,
once complete, is expected to contain 113 manufactured home sites situated on approximately 61 acres.
Significant Properties
The Company operated manufactured home properties with an approximate cost of $1.5 billion as of
December 31, 2023. These properties consist of 135 separate manufactured home communities (including two
communities acquired through the opportunity zone fund) and related improvements (excluding the Sebring Square
and Rum Runner communities in Florida acquired in December 2021 and 2022, respectively, which are operated by
the Company and owned by a joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate). No single community constitutes more than
10% of the total assets of the Company. Our larger properties consist of: Friendly Village (Ohio) with 824 developed
sites, Woods Edge (Indiana) with 599 developed sites, Redbud Estates (Indiana) with 570 developed sites, Pikewood
Manor (Ohio) with 490 developed sites, and Port Royal Village (Pennsylvania) with 477 developed sites.
Mortgages on Properties
The Company has mortgages on many of its properties. The maturity dates of these mortgages range from
2025 to 2034, with a weighted average term of 5.3 years. Interest on these mortgages is payable at fixed rates ranging
from 2.62% to 6.74%. The weighted average interest rate on our mortgages, not including the effect of unamortized
debt issuance costs, was approximately 4.2% and 3.9% at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The aggregate
balances of these mortgages, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, totaled $496.5 million and $508.9 million at
December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. (For additional information, see Part IV, Item 15(a) (1) (vi), Note 7 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Loans and Mortgages Payable).
Joint Venture with Nuveen
In December 2021, the Company and Nuveen Real Estate (“Nuveen” or “Nuveen Real Estate”), established
a joint venture for the purpose of acquiring manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle communities that are
under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. The terms of the initial
joint venture entity were set forth in a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 8, 2021 (the “LLC
Agreement”) entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of Nuveen. The LLC
Agreement called for committed capital to be funded 60% by Nuveen and 40% by the Company on a parity basis. The
Company serves as managing member of the joint venture entity and is responsible for day-to-day operations of the
joint venture entity and management of its properties, subject to obtaining approval of Nuveen Real Estate for major
decisions (including investments, dispositions, financings, major capital expenditures and annual budgets). The
Company receives property management and other fees from the joint venture entity.
In December 2021, the joint venture entity closed on the acquisition of Sebring Square, a newly developed
all-age manufactured home community located in Sebring, Florida for a total purchase price of $22.2 million. The
Sebring Square community contains 219 developed homesites situated on approximately 39 acres. In December
-37-
2022, the joint venture entity closed on the acquisition of Rum Runner, another newly developed all-age manufactured
home community, also located in Sebring, Florida, for a total purchase price of $15.1 million. The Rum Runner
community contains 144 developed homesites situated on approximately 20 acres.
The LLC Agreement provides that until the capital contributions to the joint venture are fully funded or the
joint venture is terminated, the joint venture will be the exclusive vehicle for the Company to acquire any manufactured
housing community and/or recreational vehicle community that meets the joint venture’s investment guidelines. The
investment guidelines of the joint venture provide for the venture to acquire manufactured housing and recreational
vehicle communities that have been developed within the previous two years and are less than 20% occupied, located
in certain geographic markets, projected to meet certain cash flow and internal rate of return targets, and satisfy certain
other criteria. The Company agreed to offer Nuveen the opportunity to have the joint venture acquire any
manufactured housing community or recreational vehicle community that meets these investment guidelines. Under
the terms of the LLC Agreement, if Nuveen determines not to pursue or approve any such acquisition, the Company
would be permitted to acquire the property outside the joint venture. Since the execution of the LLC Agreement,
Nuveen has provided the Company with written waivers of the exclusivity provision of the LLC Agreement with
regard to two property acquisitions that may have fit the investment guidelines of the joint venture, which permitted
the Company to acquire them outside of the Nuveen joint venture. Except for investment opportunities that are offered
to and declined by Nuveen, the Company is prohibited from developing, owning, operating or managing manufactured
housing communities or recreational vehicle communities within a 10-mile radius of any community owned by the
joint venture. However, this restriction does not apply with respect to investments by the Company in existing
communities operated by the Company.
During the time since the joint venture with Nuveen was first established in 2021, the Company and Nuveen
have continued to seek, and are continuing to seek, opportunities to acquire additional manufactured housing and/or
recreational vehicle communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other
investment guidelines. During 2022, the Company and Nuveen informally agreed that any future acquisitions would
be made by one or more new joint venture entities to be formed for that purpose and that the original joint venture
entity formed in December 2021 will not consummate additional acquisitions but will maintain its existing property
portfolio, consisting of the Sebring Square and Rum Runner communities. The Company and Nuveen also informally
agreed that, unless otherwise determined in connection with any specific future investment, capital for any such new
joint venture entity would continue to be funded 60% by Nuveen and 40% by the Company on a parity basis and that
other terms would be similar to those of the LLC Agreement entered into in 2021, except that the amounts of the
parties’ respective capital commitments will be determined on a property-by-property basis.
In November 2023, the Company expanded its relationship with Nuveen Real Estate and formed a new joint
venture entity with Nuveen. The new joint venture entity was established to, directly or through one or more
subsidiaries, identify, source, originate, acquire, hold, operate, sell, lease, mortgage, maintain, own, manage, finance,
refinance, reposition, improve, renovate, develop, redevelop, pledge, hedge, exchange, and otherwise deal in and with
the rental of manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle communities that meet other investment guidelines.
The terms of the new joint venture entity are set forth in a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of
November 29, 2023 (the “Second LLC Agreement”) entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
and an affiliate of Nuveen. The Company serves as managing member of this new joint venture entity and is
responsible for day-to-day operations of the joint venture entity and management of its properties, subject to obtaining
approval of Nuveen Real Estate for major decisions (including investments, dispositions, financings, major capital
expenditures and annual budgets). The Company receives property management oversite, development and other fees
from the joint venture entity. Sixty-one acres of land located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, previously owned by the
Company, with a carrying value cost basis of $3.8 million, was contributed to the new joint venture entity. The
Company was reimbursed by Nuveen for 60% of the carrying value of this land. This new joint venture entity is
focused on the development of a new manufactured housing community on this property. The community, once
complete, is expected to contain 113 manufactured home sites. As with the 2021 LLC Agreement, capital contributions
to the joint venture formed for this project will be funded 60% by Nuveen and 40% by the Company on a parity basis
and the other terms (including restrictions on the Company’s right to acquire manufacturing housing communities that
meet the LLC Agreement’s investment guidelines without first offering Nuveen an opportunity to participate in the
acquisition) are similar to those set forth in the LLC Agreement entered into in 2021.
References in this Annual Report to the Company’s joint venture with Nuveen are intended to refer to our
ongoing relationship with Nuveen. For additional information about the Company’s joint venture with Nuveen Real
Estate, see Note 5, "Investment in Joint Venture," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Opportunity Zone Fund
In July 2022, the Company invested $8.0 million, representing a portion of the capital gain the Company
recognized in February 2022 from its investment in Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation (“MREIC”) as a
result of a merger of MREIC with another company, in our qualified opportunity zone fund, UMH OZ Fund, LLC
(“OZ Fund”), a new entity formed by the Company. (For additional information about the MREIC merger, see Note
4, "Marketable Securities," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) The OZ Fund was created to acquire,
develop and redevelop manufactured housing communities requiring substantial capital investment and located in
areas designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones by the Treasury Department pursuant to a program authorized under
the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to encourage long-term investment in economically distressed areas. The OZ Fund
was designed to allow the Company and other investors in the OZ Fund to defer the tax on recently realized capital
gains reinvested in the OZ Fund until December 31, 2026 and to potentially obtain certain other tax benefits. UMH
manages the OZ Fund and will receive certain management fees as well as a 15% carried interest in distributions by
the OZ Fund to the other investors (subject to first returning investor capital with a 5% preferred return). UMH will
have a right of first offer to purchase the communities from the OZ Fund at the time of sale at their then-current
appraised value. On August 10, 2022, the Company, through the OZ Fund, acquired Garden View Estates, located in
Orangeburg, South Carolina, for approximately $5.2 million. On January 19, 2023, the Company acquired Mighty
Oak, located in Albany, Georgia, through the OZ Fund, for approximately $3.7 million. For additional information
about the Company’s opportunity zone fund, see Note 6, "Opportunity Zone Fund," of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Item 3 – Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. For additional information
about legal proceedings, see Part IV, Item 15(a)(1)(vi), Note 14, “Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Matters”
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 4 – Mine Safety Disclosures
Not Applicable.
PART II
Item 5 – Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity
Securities
Market Information
The Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and its Common Stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”), under the symbols “UMHPRD” and “UMH”, respectively. Effective February 9, 2022, the Company’s
Common Stock also began trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”).
Shareholder Information
As of February 16, 2024, there were 1,239 registered shareholders of the Company’s Common Stock based
on the number of record owners. Because many shares of the Company’s Common Stock are held by brokers and
other institutions on behalf of their clients, we believe there are considerably more beneficial holders of our Common
Stock than record holders.
Dividends
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid quarterly cash dividends to holders of its
Common Stock of $0.205 per share, or $0.82 annually.
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to annually distribute
at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and any net
capital gain. In addition, we intend to distribute all or substantially all of our net income so that we will generally not
be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our earnings.
-39-
In general, our Board of Directors makes decisions regarding payment of dividends on a quarterly basis. The
Board considers many factors when making these decisions, including our present and future liquidity needs, our
current and projected financial condition and results of operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-K for a
description of factors that may affect our ability to pay dividends.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
None.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On January 11, 2023, the Board of Directors reaffirmed our Common Stock Repurchase Program (the
“Repurchase Program”) that authorized us to repurchase up to $25 million in the aggregate of the Company’s Common
Stock. Purchases under the Repurchase Program were permitted to be made using a variety of methods, which may
include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or block trades, or by any combination of such
methods, in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The size, scope and
timing of any purchases would be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price,
regulatory and contractual requirements or consents, and capital availability. The Repurchase Program did not require
the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at
any time at the Company's discretion without prior notice. Although the Repurchase Program remains in effect, the
Company did not repurchase any shares of its Common Stock during 2023.
Comparative Stock Performance
The following line graph compares the total return of the Company’s Common Stock for the last five years
to the FTSE Nareit All REITs Index published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”)
and to the S&P 500 Index for the same period. The graph assumes a $100 investment in our Common Stock and in
each of the indexes listed below on December 31, 2018 and the reinvestment of all dividends. The total return reflects
stock price appreciation and dividend reinvestment for all three comparative indices. The information herein has been
obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but neither its accuracy nor its completeness is guaranteed. Our stock
performance shown in the graph below is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

Refer to the discussion below in this Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Results of Operations, and Non-U.S.
GAAP Measures, contained in this Form 10-K for information regarding the presentation of community NOI, and for the presentation and
reconciliation of funds from operations and normalized funds from operations to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with the historical Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in
this Form 10-K.
The Company is a Maryland corporation that operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT with
headquarters in Freehold, New Jersey. The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of
manufactured home communities, which includes leasing manufactured home spaces on an annual or month-to-month
-41-
basis to residents. The Company also leases manufactured homes to residents and, through its wholly-owned taxable
REIT subsidiary, S&F, sells and finances the sale of manufactured homes to residents and prospective residents of
our communities and for placement on customers’ privately-owned land. During 2022, the Company also formed an
opportunity zone fund to acquire, develop and redevelop manufactured housing communities requiring substantial
capital investment and located in areas designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones by the Treasury Department
pursuant to a program authorized under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to encourage long-term investment in
economically distressed areas. The Company currently holds a 77% percentage interest in the opportunity zone fund.
As of December 31, 2023, we owned and operated 135 manufactured home communities (including two
communities acquired through the opportunity zone fund) containing approximately 25,800 developed homesites.
These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan,
Maryland, Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia. UMH has continued to execute our growth strategy of purchasing
well-located communities in our target markets, including the energy-rich Marcellus and Utica Shale regions. During
the year ended December 31, 2023, we purchased one community located in Georgia, for an aggregate purchase price
of $3.7 million, through our opportunity zone fund. This acquisition added 118 developed homesites to our portfolio.
The Company also operates two communities in Florida owned by the Company’s joint venture with Nuveen Real
Estate that was originally formed in December 2021. On November 30, 2023, the Company expanded its joint venture
relationship with Nuveen Real Estate and formed a new joint venture entity focused on the development of a new
manufactured housing community located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania. As with the original 2021 joint venture
entity, UMH has a 40% stake in the new joint venture entity and serves as the managing member, developer and
operating member. The Honey Brook community, once complete, is expected to contain 113 manufactured home sites
situated on approximately 61 acres.
The Company earns income from the operation of its manufactured home communities, leasing of
manufactured homesites, the rental of manufactured homes, the sale and finance of manufactured homes and the
brokering of home sales, self-storage leases, oil and gas leases, cable service agreements and from appreciation in the
values of the manufactured home communities and vacant land owned by the Company. In addition, the Company
receives property management and other fees from its joint venture arrangements with Nuveen and from its
opportunity zone fund. Management views the Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting
in addition to its allocation of capital and resources.
Occupancy in our properties, as well as our ability to increase rental rates, directly affects revenues. In 2023,
total income increased 13% from the prior year due to the acquisition and rental programs, rent increases and the
growth of our sales business. Community NOI (as defined below) increased 14% from the prior year. Overall
occupancy increased 210 basis points from 84.6% as of December 31, 2022 to 86.7% as of December 31,
2023. Overall occupancy includes communities acquired in 2023 and 2022 with an average occupancy of 60%. Same
property occupancy, which includes communities owned and operated as of January 1, 2022, increased 230 basis
points from 86.2% as of December 31, 2022 to 88.5% as of December 31, 2023. (Unless expressly indicated,
information in this report with respect to the Company’s properties, including financial and operating results for the
year ended December 31, 2023, does not include the properties owned by the Company’s joint venture with Nuveen.)
Demand for quality affordable housing remains healthy while inventory is scarce. Our property type offers
substantial comparative value that should result in continued high demand.
The macro-economic environment and current housing fundamentals continue to favor home rentals. Due
to climbing mortgage rates, the higher cost of buying a home versus renting one is at its most extreme since 1996.
Rental homes in a manufactured home community allow the resident to obtain the efficiencies of factory-built housing
and the amenities of community living for less than the cost of other forms of affordable housing. We continue to see
strong demand for rental homes. During 2023, our portfolio of rental homes increased by 871 homes, net. Occupied
rental homes represent approximately 42.0% of total occupied sites. Occupancy in rental homes continues to be strong
and was at 94.0% as of December 31, 2023. We compare favorably with other types of rental housing, including
apartments, and we will continue to allocate capital to rental home purchases, as demand dictates.
The Company holds a portfolio of marketable equity securities of other REITs with a fair value of $34.5
million as of December 31, 2023, representing 1.9% of our undepreciated assets (total assets excluding accumulated
depreciation). The REIT securities portfolio provides the Company with additional diversification, liquidity and
income. As of December 31, 2023, 99% consisted of REIT common stocks and 1% of the Company’s portfolio
-42-
consisted of REIT preferred stocks. The Company does not intend to increase its investment in the REIT securities
portfolio.
The Company invests in these REIT securities and, from time to time, may use margin debt when an adequate
yield spread can be obtained. The Company’s weighted average yield on the securities portfolio was approximately
6.7% at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, the Company had unrealized losses of $39.7 million in its REIT
securities portfolio. During 2023, the Company sold positions in securities, generating a net realized gain of $183,000.
The Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2023, through
an At-the-Market Sale Program for our Common Stock that was established in April 2023 (the “2023 Common ATM
Program”) and a prior At-the-Market Sale Program established in 2022, the Company issued and sold a total of 9.4
million shares of our Common Stock, generating gross proceeds of $148.6 million and net proceeds of $145.8 million,
after offering expenses. Additionally, during 2023 the Company raised approximately $9.0 million in new capital
through the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”).
During the year ended December 31, 2023, through an At-the-Market Sale Program for our Preferred Stock
that was established in January 2023 (the “2023 Preferred ATM Program”) and a prior At-the-Market Sale Program
established in 2020, the Company issued and sold a total of approximately 2.6 million shares of our Series D Preferred
Stock, generating gross proceeds of $56.7 million and net proceeds of $55.7 million, after offering expenses.
The Company believes that its capital structure, which allows for the ownership of assets using a balanced
combination of equity obtained through the issuance of common and preferred stock and debt, will enhance
shareholder returns as the properties appreciate over time.
On December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $57.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$110 million available on our credit facility, with an additional $400 million potentially available pursuant to an
accordion feature. We also had $143.5 million available on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home
sales and the purchase of inventory and $55 million available on our lines of credit secured by rental homes and rental
homes leases. Subsequent to year end, the Company paid down approximately $20 million on its credit facility (see
Note 17).
The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring
communities, that over time, are expected to yield in excess of our cost of funds and investing in physical
improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. In 2022 and 2023, we added a total of eight
manufactured home communities to our portfolio, encompassing approximately 1,600 developed sites. These
manufactured home communities were acquired with an average occupancy rate of 60%. The Company will utilize
the rental home program to increase occupancy rates and improve operating results at these communities. As part of
this plan, we intend to seek opportunities, through our opportunity zone fund, to acquire communities that require
substantial capital investment and are located in Qualified Opportunity Zones. In addition, through our joint venture
arrangement with Nuveen Real Estate, we will seek opportunities to acquire manufactured home communities that are
under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. There is no guarantee that
acquisition opportunities will continue to materialize or that the Company will be able to take advantage of such
opportunities. The growth of our real estate portfolio and success of the joint venture with Nuveen will depend on the
availability of suitable properties which meet the Company’s investment criteria and appropriate financing.
Competition in the market areas in which the Company operates is significant and affects acquisitions, occupancy
levels, rental rates and operating expenses of certain properties.
See PART I, Item 1- Business and Item 1A – Risk Factors for a more complete discussion of the economic
and industry-wide factors relevant to the Company, the Company's lines of business and principal products and
services, and the opportunities, challenges and risks on which the Company is focused.

Mighty Oak, acquired in January 2023, and Garden View Estates, acquired in August 2022, were acquired
through the Company’s opportunity zone fund.
In addition to the acquisitions shown above, in November 2023, 61 acres of land located in Honey Brook,
Pennsylvania, previously owned by the Company, with a carrying value cost basis of $3.8 million, was contributed to
an entity formed under our joint venture with Nuveen for the purpose of developing a new manufactured housing
community, which, once complete, is expected to contain 113 sites. The Company was reimbursed by Nuveen for
60% of the carrying value of this land.
Also, on December 23, 2022, an entity formed as part of our Nuveen joint venture closed on the acquisition
of Rum Runner, a newly developed all-age, manufactured home community located in Sebring, Florida, for a total
purchase price of $15.1 million. This community contains 144 developed homesites situated on approximately 20
acres.
Results of Operations
2023 vs. 2022
Rental and related income increased from $170.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $189.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2023, or 11%. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions made
during 2022, as well as increases in rental rates, same property occupancy and additional rental homes. During 2023,
the Company raised rental rates by 5% to 6% at most communities. Rent increases vary depending on overall market
conditions and demand. Occupancy, as well as the ability to increase rental rates, directly affects revenues. The
Company has been acquiring communities with vacant sites that can potentially be occupied and earn income in the
future. Overall occupancy was 86.7% and 84.6% at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Overall occupancy
includes communities acquired in 2023 and 2022 which had an average occupancy of 60%, at the time of acquisition.
Demand for rental homes continues to be strong. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 10,000 rental
homes with an occupancy rate of 94.0%. We continue to evaluate the demand for rental homes and will invest in
additional homes as demand dictates.
Community operating expenses increased from $75.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $81.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2023, or 8%. This increase was primarily due to expenses pertaining to
recently acquired communities during 2022, as well as increases in payroll, rental home expenses, real estate taxes,
waste removal, water expenses and sewer expenses.
-44-
Community NOI increased from $94.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $108.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023, or 14%. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions during 2022, and an
increase in rental rates, occupancy and rental homes. The operating expense ratio (defined as community operating
expenses divided by rental and related income) improved 150 basis points from 44.4% in 2022 to 42.9% for 2023.
Many recently acquired communities have deferred maintenance requiring higher than normal expenditures in the first
few years of ownership. Since most of the community expenses consist of fixed costs, as occupancy rates increase,
these expense ratios are expected to continue to improve. Due to the Company’s ability to increase its rental rates
annually (subject to limitations on rent increases in certain jurisdictions), increasing costs due to inflation and changing
prices have generally not had a material effect on revenue and income from continuing operations.
Sales of manufactured homes increased from $25.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $31.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2023, or 23%. The total number of homes sold increased from 301 homes in
2022 to 341 homes in 2023. There were a14% increase in new homes sold from 144 new homes sold in 2022 to 164 new
homes sold in 2023. The Company’s average sales price increased 8% in 2023 and was approximately $91,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2023 and $84,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Cost of sales of manufactured homes
increased from $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2023, or 20%. The gross profit percentage was 32% and 31% for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Selling expenses increased
from $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, or 32%.
Gain from the sales operations, excluding interest on the financing of inventory, increased 24% and amounted to a gain of
$3.1 million and $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Many of the costs associated
with sales, such as salaries, and to an extent, advertising and promotion, are fixed. Despite an increase in mortgage rates,
home prices have continued their rise as fewer sellers are listing homes and inventories decline resulting in the inherent
relative affordability of our property type becoming more and more apparent, which should result in increased demand.
The Company continues to be optimistic about future sales and rental prospects given the fundamental need for affordable
housing. The Company believes that sales of new homes produce new rental revenue and represent an investment in the
upgrading of our communities.
General and administrative expenses increased from $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to
$19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, or 4%. This increase was due to an increase in payroll, personnel
costs and non-cash stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses, excluding non-recurring
expenses, as a percentage of gross revenue (total income plus interest, dividends and other income) was approximately
8.0% and 7.6% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Depreciation expense increased from $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $55.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2023, or 14%. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions and the increases
in rental homes during 2023 and 2022.
Interest income increased from $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $5.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023, or 22%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of
notes receivable from $58.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $71.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The weighted average interest rate earned on these notes receivables increased 30 basis points
and was 7.0% and 6.7% as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively
Dividend income decreased from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $2.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023, or 20%. This decrease was due to reduced dividends from a combination of our
smaller securities portfolio and the weighted average yield on our dividends received from our marketable securities
investments decreasing 90 basis points from 7.6% in 2022 to 6.7% in 2023.
The Company recognized a realized gain on sales of marketable securities of $183,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The Company recognized a realized gain on sales of marketable securities of $6.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily as a result of the cash consideration received in the MREIC merger,
partially offset by a loss on sale of other marketable securities. The decrease in fair value of marketable securities
amounted to $3.6 million and $21.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of
December 31, 2023, the Company had total net unrealized losses of $39.7 million in its REIT securities portfolio.
Interest expense, including amortization of financing costs, increased from $26.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022 to $32.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, or 23%. This increase was mainly due to
-45-
the interest incurred on the $102.7 million of Series A Bonds the Company issued in 2022 in an offering to investors
in Israel, an increase in the average balance of total debt and an increase in interest rates. The average balance of our
total debt was approximately $734.5 million in 2023 and $637.1 million in 2022.
2022 vs. 2021
Rental and related income increased from $159.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $170.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2022, or 7%. This increase was due to the acquisitions during 2021 and
2022, as well as an increase in rental rates and additional rental homes. During 2022, the Company raised rental rates
by 4% to 5% at most communities. Rent increases vary depending on overall market conditions and demand.
Occupancy, as well as the ability to increase rental rates, directly affects revenues. The Company has been acquiring
communities with vacant sites that can potentially be occupied and earn income in the future. Overall occupancy was
84.6% and 86.0% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Overall occupancy includes communities acquired
in 2022 and 2021, which had an average occupancy of 66% and 59%, respectively, at the time of acquisition. Demand
for rental homes continues to be strong. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 9,100 rental homes with an
occupancy rate of 93.3%.
Community operating expenses increased from $68.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $75.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2022, or 11%. This increase was primarily due to new acquisitions, and
increases in waste removal, tree removal, water and sewer, insurance, real estate taxes, travel and payroll and personnel
costs.
Community NOI increased from $91.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $94.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2022, or 4%. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions during 2021 and 2022
and an increase in rental rates and rental homes. The operating expense ratio (defined as community operating
expenses divided by rental and related income) was 42.8% in 2021 compared to 44.4% for 2022.
Sales of manufactured homes decreased from $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $25.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2022, or 6%. The total number of homes sold in 2022 was 301 homes as compared
to 370 homes in 2021. There were 144 new homes sold in 2022 as compared to 182 in 2021. The Company’s average
sales price was approximately $84,000 and $73,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cost
of sales of manufactured homes decreased from $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $17.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 2022, or 13%. The gross profit percentage was 31% and 26% for 2022 and 2021,
respectively. Selling expenses increased from $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $5.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2022, or 10%. Gain from the sales operations (defined as sales of manufactured homes less cost
of sales of manufactured homes less selling expenses less interest on the financing of inventory) amounted to a gain of
$2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased from $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to
$19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, or 35%. These increases were mainly due to non-recurring
expenses relating to the cost of previously issued special restricted stock grants for the groundbreaking Fannie Mae
financing completed in 2020, expenses for the joint venture with Nuveen, the opportunity zone fund, the issuance of
the Series A Bonds, early extinguishment of debt and other legal expenses. These non-recurring expenses totaled $3.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
General and administrative expenses also increased due to an increase in personnel costs, stock-based compensation
and travel. General and administrative expenses, excluding non-recurring expenses, as a percentage of gross revenue
(total income plus interest, dividend and other income) was 7.6% and 6.2% at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
Depreciation expense increased from $45.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $48.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 2022, or 8%. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions and the increase in
rental homes during 2022 and 2021.
Interest income increased from $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $4.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2022, or 22%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of
notes receivable from $48.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $58.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022.
-46-
Dividend income decreased from $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $2.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2022, or 43%. This decrease was primarily due to reduced dividends from the reduction of
our securities holdings. Dividends received from our marketable securities investments were at a weighted average
yield of approximately 7.1% and 4.4% as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company recognized a net gain on sales of marketable securities of $6.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the cash consideration received in the MREIC merger, partially offset by
a loss on sale of other marketable securities. The Company recognized a gain on sales of marketable securities of $2.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Increase (decrease) in fair value of marketable securities decreased
from an increase of $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a decrease of $21.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total net unrealized losses of $36.1 million
in its REIT securities portfolio.
Interest expense, including amortization of financing costs, increased from $19.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021 to $26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, or 38%. This increase was mainly due to
interest on the Series A Bonds issued in 2022, an increase in loans payable and an increase in interest rates.
Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management’s discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations include certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that in management’s
view of the business we believe are meaningful as they allow the investor the ability to understand key operating
details of our business both with and without regard to certain accounting conventions or items that may not always
be indicative of recurring annual cash flow of the portfolio. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as determined
and presented by us may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and
include Community Net Operating Income (“Community NOI”), Funds from Operations Attributable to Common
Shareholders (“FFO”) and Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized
FFO”).
We define Community NOI as rental and related income less community operating expenses such as real
estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, community salaries, utilities, insurance and other expenses. We believe that
Community NOI is helpful to investors and analysts as a direct measure of the actual operating results of our
manufactured home communities, rather than our Company overall. Community NOI should not be considered a
substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Community NOI should not be considered
as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon FFO, an industry performance measure
which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and
investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net
income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
(“U.S. GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges
related to depreciable real estate assets, the change in the fair value of marketable securities, and the gain or loss on
the sale of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization.
Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main
business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of
these assets, such as marketable equity securities, and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value
recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper - 2018
Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the change in the fair value of marketable securities
from our FFO calculation. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating
performance. We define Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized
FFO”), as FFO, excluding certain one-time charges. FFO and Normalized FFO should be considered as supplemental
measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO exclude historical cost depreciation as
an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have a different cost basis. However, other REITs may
use different methodologies to calculate FFO and Normalized FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Normalized FFO
may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO and Normalized FFO are significant
components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.
FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii)
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows
from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
FFO and Normalized FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported
by other REITs.

(1) During 2022, the Company incurred the carrying cost of excess cash for the redemption of preferred stock. Additionally, due to
the change in sources of capital, amortization expense, a non-cash expense, is expected to become more significant and is therefore
included as an adjustment to Normalized FFO for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Had a similar adjustment been
made for the year ended December 31, 2021, Normalized FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders would have been $42,145.
(2) Consists of the previously disclosed special bonus and restricted stock grants for the August 2020 groundbreaking Fannie Mae
financing, which were being expensed over the vesting period ($862) and non-recurring expenses for the joint venture with
Nuveen ($135), one-time legal fees ($76), fees related to the establishment of the OZ Fund ($37), and costs associated with
acquisitions and financing that were not completed ($219) in 2023. Consists of special bonus and restricted stock grants for the
August 2020 groundbreaking Fannie Mae financing, which were being expensed over the vesting period ($1,724) and non-
recurring expenses for the joint venture with Nuveen ($264), early extinguishment of debt ($320), one-time legal fees ($197), fees
related to the establishment of the OZ Fund ($954), and costs associated with acquisition not completed ($20) in 2022. Consists
of special bonus and restricted stock grants for the August 2020 groundbreaking Fannie Mae financing, which were being
expensed over the vesting period ($1,824) and non-recurring expenses for the joint venture with Nuveen ($171) in 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company operates as a REIT deriving its income primarily from real estate rental operations. The
Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the
Company’s shareholders, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service,
purchases of manufactured home inventory and rental homes, financing of manufactured home sales and payments of
expenses relating to real estate operations. The Company’s ability to generate cash adequate to meet these demands
is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and marketable securities portfolio, the sale of real
estate investments and marketable securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real estate investments,
availability of bank borrowings, lines of credit, and other incurrence of indebtedness, proceeds from the DRIP, and
access to the capital markets, including through its Common and Preferred ATM Programs. In addition to cash
generated through operations, the Company uses a variety of sources to fund its cash needs, including acquisitions.
The Company may sell marketable securities from its investment portfolio, borrow on its unsecured credit facility or
lines of credit, incur other indebtedness, finance and refinance its properties, and/or raise capital through the DRIP
and capital markets, including through the Company’s ATM Programs. In order to provide financial flexibility to
opportunistically access the capital markets, the Company implemented a new 2023 Preferred ATM Program on
January 10, 2023 that allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s 6.375% Series D Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million from time to time through its sales
agent, B. Riley Securities, Inc. In addition, on April 4, 2023, the Company implemented a new 2023 Common ATM
Program that allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock having an aggregate sales
price of up to $150 million from time to time through the distribution agents for the 2023 Common ATM Program.
Additionally, the Company amended its unsecured line of credit to expand available borrowing capacity from $100
-49-
million to $180 million and expanded/obtained new loans and lines of credit secured by rental homes, rental homes
leases and notes receivable.
The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring
communities that over time are expected to yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical
improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. As part of this plan, we intend to seek
opportunities, through our opportunity zone fund, to acquire communities that require substantial capital investment
and are located in Qualified Opportunity Zones. In addition, through our joint venture relationship with Nuveen Real
Estate, we will seek opportunities to acquire manufactured home communities that are under development and/or
newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. There is no guarantee that any of these additional
opportunities will materialize or that the Company will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The growth
of our real estate portfolio and success of our joint venture will depend on the availability of suitable properties which
meet the Company’s investment criteria and appropriate financing. Competition in the market areas in which the
Company operates is significant. To the extent that funds or appropriate communities are not available, fewer
acquisitions will be made.
The Company continues to strengthen its capital and liquidity positions. During the year ended December
31, 2023, the Company issued and sold 9.4 million shares of Common Stock through our Common ATM Programs at
a weighted average price of $15.81 per share, generating gross proceeds of $148.6 million and net proceeds of $145.8
million, after offering expenses.
Through our Preferred ATM Programs, the Company issued and sold a total of 2.6 million shares of our
Series D Preferred Stock generating gross proceeds of $56.7 million and net proceeds after offering expenses of $55.7
million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, $37.0 million of Common Stock remained available for sale under the 2023
Common ATM Program and $46.1 million in shares of Series D Preferred Stock remained available for sale under the
2023 Preferred ATM Program. Subsequent to year end, the Company issued and sold 1.2 million shares of Common
Stock under the 2023 Common ATM Program for gross proceeds of $19.2 million. Subsequent to year end, the
Company issued and sold a total of 121,000 shares of Preferred Stock under the 2023 Preferred ATM Program for
gross proceeds of $2.8 million.
In addition, the Company has a DRIP in which participants can purchase original issue shares of Common
Stock from the Company at a price of approximately 95% of market. During 2023, amounts received under the DRIP,
including dividends reinvested of $2.7 million, totaled $9.0 million. The Company issued a total of 612,000 shares
under the DRIP during 2023.
The Company also has the ability to finance home sales, inventory purchases and rental home purchases.
The Company has a $35 million revolving line of credit for the financing of homes that was not utilized at December
31, 2023, revolving credit facilities totaling $108.5 million to finance inventory purchases, that were not utilized at
December 31, 2023 and $55.0 million available on our lines of credit secured by rental homes and rental homes leases.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $57.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $34.5 million. The Company owned 135 communities (including two communities acquired through the
opportunity zone fund) of which 48 are unencumbered. The Company’s non-mortgaged properties and marketable
securities provide us with additional liquidity. As of December 31, 2023, the Company also held a 40% equity interest
in the entities formed under its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate, which own two newly developed communities
that are unencumbered and one community in the process of being developed. The Company believes that cash on
hand, funds generated from operations, the DRIP and capital markets, the funds available on the lines of credit,
together with the ability to finance and refinance its properties will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its
obligations over the next several years.
The Company’s focus is on real estate investments. The Company has historically financed purchases of real
estate primarily through mortgages. During 2023, total investment property, including rental homes, increased 11%
or $147.5 million. The Company acquired one manufactured home community totaling 118 developed sites at a
purchase price of $3.7 million through the Company’s opportunity zone fund. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information on our acquisitions and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for related debt transactions. The Company continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities. The funds for
-50-
these acquisitions (including the Company’s 40% share of acquisition costs that may be incurred pursuant to its joint
venture with Nuveen Real Estate) may come from bank borrowings, proceeds from the DRIP, and private placements
or public offerings of debt, Common Stock or Preferred Stock, including under the Common ATM Program or the
Preferred ATM Program. To the extent that funds or appropriate properties are not available, fewer acquisitions will
be made.
The Company owned approximately 10,000 rental homes, or approximately 39% of our total homesites as of
December 31, 2023. During 2023, our rental home portfolio increased by 871 homes, net of rental home sales, or
$93.7 million. The Company markets these rental homes for sale to existing residents. The Company estimates that
in 2024 it will order approximately 800 to 900 manufactured homes to use as rental units at its properties for a total
invoice cost of approximately $60 million to $65 million. Rental home rates on new homes range from approximately
$790 to $2,000 per month, including lot rent, depending on size, location and market conditions. During 2023, the
Company also invested approximately $30 million in other improvements to its communities.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities increased by $127.3 million in 2023 primarily due to a
decrease in inventory. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities decreased by $72.4 million in 2022 primarily

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $40.7 million in 2023, primarily due to the purchase of
investment property and equipment and additions to land development. Net cash used in investing activities increased
by $30.5 million in 2022, primarily due to the purchase of manufactured home communities and investment property
and equipment, partially offset by the proceeds from sales of marketable securities.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $21.1 million in 2023 to $69.1 million. The Company
issued and sold 9.4 million shares of its Common Stock during 2023 through the Common ATM Programs, raising

During 2022, the Company distributed to our common shareholders a total of $43.4 million, including dividends
reinvested. In addition, the Company also paid $24.6 million in preferred dividends during 2022.
Cash flows were primarily used for purchases of manufactured home communities, capital improvements,
payment of dividends, purchase of inventory and rental homes, loans to customers for the sales of manufactured
-51-
homes, and expansion of existing communities. The Company meets maturing mortgage obligations by using a
combination of positive cash flows and refinancing. The dividend payments were primarily made from cash flows
from operations.
Cash flows used for capital improvements include amounts needed to meet environmental and regulatory
requirements in connection with the manufactured home communities that provide water or sewer service. Excluding
expansions and rental home purchases, the Company is budgeting approximately $20 to $30 million in capital
improvements for 2024.
The Company’s significant commitments and contractual obligations relate to its mortgages, loans payable
and other indebtedness, acquisitions of manufactured home communities, retirement benefits, and the lease on its
corporate offices as described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has 2,134 acres of undeveloped land which could be developed in the future. The Company
continues to analyze the best use of its vacant land.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had total assets of $1.4 billion and total liabilities of $720.8 million.

equivalents and marketable securities) to total market capitalization decreased 17% and as of December 31, 2023 and
2022 was approximately 30% and 36%, respectively.
The Company believes that it has the ability to meet its obligations and to generate funds for new investments.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has investments in entities formed under its joint venture relationship with Nuveen Real Estate
which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence,
but not control, over the operating and financial decisions for the joint venture entities. The terms of the joint venture
arrangements require the Company to fund 40% and Nuveen to fund 60% of the total capital contributions made by
the members. See Item 2 – “Properties” and Note 5, "Investment in Joint Venture," of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information.
Our other primary contractual obligations relate to our loans and mortgages payable and other indebtedness, our
operating lease obligations and our obligations regarding the financing of our home sales. See Note 2 “Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies”, Note 7 “Loans and Mortgages Payable”, Note 10 “Related Party Transactions and
Other Matters” and Note 14 “Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Matters” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and
the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
For additional information regarding our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As of December 31, 2023, we were exposed to risks associated with adverse changes in market prices and
interest rates. The Company's principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company’s future income, cash
flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Many
-52-
factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political
considerations and other factors that are beyond the Company’s control contribute to interest rate risk. The Company
mitigates this risk by maintaining prudent amounts of leverage, minimizing capital costs and interest expense while
continuously evaluating all available debt and equity resources and following established risk management policies
and procedures, which may include the periodic use of derivatives. The Company's primary strategy in entering into
derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows.
The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to
fixed rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2023, concerning the Company’s mortgages
and loans payable, including principal cash flow by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated
fair value (in thousands).

(1) Weighted average interest rate, not including the effect of unamortized debt issuance costs. The weighted average interest
rate, including the effect of unamortized debt issuance costs, at December 31, 2023 was 4.21% for mortgages payable and
7.07% for loans payable.
All mortgage loans are at fixed rates. The Company has approximately $70 million in variable rate loans
payable. If short-term interest rates increased or decreased by 1%, interest expense would have increased or decreased
by approximately $700,000.
In its investment portfolio, the Company has invested in equity securities of other REITs and is primarily exposed
to market price risk from adverse changes in market rates and conditions. The Company’s marketable securities
investments was 1.9% of undepreciated assets as of December 31, 2023. The Company does not intend to increase its
investments in its REIT securities portfolio. All securities are carried at fair value.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-
15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give
reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information that would potentially be
subject to disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder as of December 31, 2023.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
(a)
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal
control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of its
inherent limitations, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Management assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In
2023, Management retained the services of DLA, LLC, an independent firm, to assist management in its assessment
of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This assessment was based on criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013 framework). Based on this
assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as
of December 31, 2023.
PKF O’Connor Davies, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their
report on their audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, a copy of which is included herein.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
UMH Properties, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited UMH Properties, Inc.’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria
established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the
related consolidated statements of income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2023, and our report dated February 28, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for
its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
UMH Properties Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UMH Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss),
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related
notes and schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2)(i) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on
criteria established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 28, 2024, expressed an
unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the
amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
were communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance and that: (1) relate to accounts
or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

UMH PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
UMH Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company”)
operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) deriving its income primarily from real estate rental operations. The
Company, through its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), also sells manufactured
homes to residents and prospective residents in our communities. Inherent in the operations of manufactured home
communities are site vacancies. S&F was established to fill these vacancies and enhance the value of the communities.
The Company also holds a 77% controlling interest in an opportunity zone fund which it created to acquire, develop and
redevelop manufactured housing communities located in areas designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones by the U.S.
Treasury Department to encourage long-term investment in economically distressed areas. Management views the
Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resources.
Description of the Business
As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned and operated 135 manufactured home communities
(including two communities acquired through the opportunity zone fund) containing approximately 25,800 developed
sites. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan,
Maryland, Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia.
These manufactured home communities are listed by trade names as follows:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepares its financial statements under the accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s
subsidiaries are all 100% wholly-owned, except for its investment in its qualified opportunity zone fund, which is 77%
owned by the Company (see Note 6). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of these
subsidiaries, including its qualified opportunity zone fund. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
A subsidiary of the Company is the managing member of the Company’s joint venture with Nuveen Real
Estate.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as contingent
assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and revenue and expenses for the years then
ended. These estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory,
depreciation, valuation of securities, accounting for land development, reserves and accruals, and stock compensation
expense. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Investment Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for Sites and
Buildings is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging
from 15 to 27.5 years). Depreciation of improvements to sites and buildings, rental homes and equipment and vehicles
is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 3 to
27.5 years). Land development costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized
as buildings and improvements or site and land improvements. Interest expense pertaining to land development costs
are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The
Company uses its professional judgement in determining whether such costs meet the criteria for capitalization or
must be expensed as incurred. The Company’s business plan includes the purchase of value-add communities,
redevelopment, development and expansion of communities. During 2023 and 2022, we acquired 8 value-add
communities containing 1,598 sites and developed 441 expansions sites. The Company capitalizes payroll for those
individuals responsible for and who spend their time on the execution and supervision of development activities and
capital projects. Salaries and benefits capitalized to land development were approximately $3.4 million and $3.7
million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The costs and related accumulated
depreciation of property sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statements and any gain or loss
is reflected in the current year’s results of operations.
The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 360-10, Property, Plant & Equipment (“ASC 360-10”) to measure impairment in real estate investments.
The Company’s primary indicator of potential impairment is based on net operating income trends year over year.
Rental properties are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is
probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property
is less than the carrying value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors
such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other
factors. Upon determination that an other than temporary impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to
their fair value. For properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property,
less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time there is a
commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported
at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property
is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded.
The Company conducted a comprehensive review of all real estate asset classes in accordance with ASC
360-10-35-21. The process entailed the analysis of property for instances where the net book value exceeded the
-74-
estimated fair value. The Company reviewed its operating properties in light of the requirements of ASC 360-10 and
determined that, as of December 31, 2023, no impairment charges were required.
Acquisitions
The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”)
and allocates the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally
consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements and rental homes. The Company allocates
the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal
of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Business Combinations
(Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. ASU 2017-01 seeks to clarify the definition of a business with
the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as
acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting
including acquisitions, disposals, intangible assets and consolidation. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 was effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments
should be applied prospectively on or after the effective dates. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted
this standard effective January 1, 2017, on a prospective basis. The Company evaluated its acquisitions and has
determined that its acquisitions of manufactured home communities during 2022 and 2023 should be accounted for as
acquisitions of assets. As such, transaction costs, primarily consisting of broker fees, transfer taxes, legal, accounting,
valuation, and other professional and consulting fees, related to acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the
acquisitions, which is then subject to a purchase price allocation based on relative fair value. Prior to the adoption of
ASU 2017-01, the Company’s acquisitions were considered an acquisition of a business and therefore, the acquisition
costs were expensed.
Investment in Joint Venture
The Company accounts for its investment in entities formed under its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate
under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures.
The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial
decisions of the joint venture entities. Under the equity method of accounting, the cost of an investment is adjusted
for the Company’s share of the equity in net income or loss from the date of acquisition, reduced by distributions
received and increased by contributions made. The income or loss is allocated in accordance with the provisions of
the operating agreement. The carrying value of the investment in joint venture is reviewed for other than temporary
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Financial condition,
operational performance, and other economic trends are among the factors that are considered in evaluation of the
existence of impairment indicators (See Note 5).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
has not experienced any losses in these accounts in the past. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates
their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature.
Marketable Securities
Investments in marketable securities consist of marketable common and preferred stock securities of other
REITs. These marketable securities are all publicly traded and purchased on the open market, through private
transactions or through dividend reinvestment plans. The Company normally holds REIT securities on a long-term
basis and has the ability and intent to hold securities to recovery, therefore as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, gains
or losses on the sale of securities are based on average cost and are accounted for on a trade date basis. As of December
31, 2023, the securities portfolio represented 1.9% of undepreciated assets. The Company does not intend to increase
its investments in its REIT securities portfolio.
-75-
Inventory of Manufactured Homes
Inventory of manufactured homes is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and is determined by
the specific identification method. All inventory is considered finished goods.
Accounts and Notes Receivables
The Company’s accounts, notes and other receivables are stated at their outstanding balance and reduced by
an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its receivables whenever events
occur or there are changes in circumstances such that management believes it is probable that it will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the notes receivable or lease agreements. The
collectability of notes receivable is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flow discounted
at the notes receivable effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the notes receivable is collateral
dependent. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the reserves for uncollectible accounts, notes and other receivables were
$2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the provisions
for uncollectible notes and other receivables were $2.1 million, $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Charge-
offs and other adjustments related to repossessed homes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
amounted to $1.9 million, $1.0 million and $712,000, respectively.
The Company accounts for its receivables in accordance with ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments –
Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that
entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of
allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current
conditions, and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. As of December 31, 2023
and 2022, the Company had notes receivable of $77.1 million and $63.0 million, net of a fair value adjustment of $1.6
million and $1.3 million, respectively. Notes receivables are presented as a component of notes and other receivables,
net on our consolidated balance sheets. These receivables represent balances owed to us for previously completed
performance obligations for sales of manufactured homes.
The Company’s notes receivable primarily consists of installment loans collateralized by manufactured
homes with principal and interest payable monthly. As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rate on
these loans were approximately 7.0% and the average maturity was approximately 7 years. As of December 31, 2022,
the weighted average interest rate on these loans were approximately 6.7% and the average maturity was
approximately 8 years.
Unamortized Financing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining mortgages and other financings and refinancings are deferred
and presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.
These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method over the term of
the related obligations, and included as a component of interest expense. Unamortized costs are charged to expense
upon prepayment of the obligation. Upon amendment of the line of credit or refinancing of mortgage debt,
unamortized deferred financing fees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-50-40, Modifications and
Extinguishments. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, accumulated amortization amounted to $11.2 million and $9.1
million, respectively. The Company estimates that aggregate amortization expense will be approximately $2.2 million
for 2024, $2.0 million for 2025, $1.8 million for 2026, $724,000 for 2027, $556,000 for 2028 and $1.1 million
thereafter.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, “Leases.” Our primary source of revenue is generated
from lease agreements for our sites and homes, where we are the lessor. These leases are generally for one-year or
month-to-month terms and renewable by mutual agreement from us and the resident, or in some cases, as provided by
jurisdictional statute.
The Company is the lessee in other arrangements, primarily for our corporate office and a ground lease at
one community expiring April 12, 2099, with an option to extend for another 99-year term. As of December 31, 2023
-76-
and 2022, the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $3.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, are
included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued liabilities and deposits on the consolidated balance sheets.
Future minimum lease payments under these leases over the remaining lease terms, exclusive of renewal
options are as follows (in thousands):

The weighted average remaining lease term for these leases, including renewal options is 162 years. The
right of use assets and lease liabilities was calculated using an interest rate of 5%.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash consists of amounts primarily held in deposit for tax, insurance and repair
escrows held by lenders in accordance with certain debt agreements. Restricted cash is included in prepaid expenses
and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for its Sales of Manufactured Homes in accordance with Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" (ASC 606). For transactions in the
scope of ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of goods or services transfers to the customer, in the amount
that we expect to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services.
Rental and related income is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes. The lease component
of these agreements is accounted for under ASC 842 “Leases.” The non-lease components of our lease agreements
consist primarily of utility reimbursements, which are accounted for with the site lease as a single lease under ASC
842.
Revenue from sales of manufactured homes is recognized in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606,
at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we
generally have no remaining performance obligation.
Interest income is primarily from notes receivables for the previous sales of manufactured homes. Interest
income on these receivables is accrued based on the unpaid principal balances of the underlying loans on a level yield
basis over the life of the loans.
-77-
Dividend income and gain (loss) on sales of marketable securities are from our investments in marketable
securities and are presented separately but are not in the scope of ASC 606.
Other income primarily consists of brokerage commissions for arranging for the sale of a home by a third
party and other miscellaneous income. This income is recognized when the transactions are completed and our
performance obligations have been fulfilled.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period (63.1 million, 54.4 million and 46.3 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021,
respectively). Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of
stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, the basic loss per share equals the
diluted loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation because they are
anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2023, employee stock options to purchase 4.7 million shares of
Common Stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would be anti-
dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2022, employee stock options to purchase 3.5 million shares of Common
Stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For
the year ended December 31, 2021, Common Stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase
3.3 million shares of Common Stock amounted to 1.1 million shares, which were included in the computation of
Diluted Net Income per Share.
Stock Compensation Plan
The Company accounts for awards of stock, stock options and restricted stock in accordance with ASC 718-
10, Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718-10 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be
calculated and amortized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). The compensation cost for
stock option grants are determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at
the grant date less estimated forfeitures. The compensation expense for restricted stock are recognized based on the
fair value of the restricted stock awards less estimated forfeitures. The fair value of restricted stock awards are equal
to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Compensation costs, which is included in general and
administrative expenses, of $4.9 million, $5.0 million and $3.4 million have been recognized in 2023, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, compensation costs included a one-time charge of $233,000, $433,000
and $44,000, respectively, for restricted stock and stock option grants awarded to participants who were of retirement
age and therefore the entire amount of measured compensation cost has been recognized at grant date. Included in
Note 8 to these consolidated financial statements are the assumptions and methodology used to calculate the fair value
of stock options and restricted stock awards.
Income Tax
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of Sections 856 to 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code. Under such provisions, the Company will not be taxed on that portion of its income which
is distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, has at least 75% of its assets
in real estate or cash-type investments and meets certain other requirements for qualification as a REIT. The Company
has and intends to continue to distribute all of its income currently, and therefore no provision has been made for
income or excise taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal
income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.
The Company is also subject to certain state and local income, excise or franchise taxes. In addition, the Company
has a taxable REIT Subsidiary (“TRS”) which is subject to federal and state income taxes at regular corporate tax rates
(See Note 13).
In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the TCJA), Code Section 199A, was added to the
Code and became effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026. Under the
TCJA, subject to certain income limitations, individual taxpayers and trusts and estates may deduct 20% of the
aggregate amount of qualified REIT dividends they receive from their taxable income. Qualified REIT dividends do
not include any portion of a dividend received from a REIT that is classified as a capital gain dividend or qualified
dividend income.
-78-
The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, that, among other things, defines a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Based on its evaluation,
the Company determined that it has no uncertain tax positions and no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31,
2023. The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as interest
expense. As of December 31, 2023, the tax years 2020 through and including 2023 remain open to examination by
the Internal Revenue Service. There are currently no federal tax examinations in progress.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior years have been reclassified to conform
to the financial statement presentation for the current year.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting
pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Gain on sales of marketable securities, net amounted to approximately $183,000, $6.4 million and $2.3
million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During 2022, Monmouth Real Estate
Investment Corporation (“MREIC”) was acquired by a third party pursuant to an all-cash merger approved by the
shareholders of MREIC, which resulted in the Company and MREIC’s other shareholders receiving a cash payment
of $21.00 per share in cancellation of their MREIC common shares. The Company’s securities portfolio included 2.7
million shares of common stock of MREIC, representing 2.7% of the total MREIC shares outstanding. The
Company’s Chairman of the Board was also the Chairman of MREIC and there were three other Company Directors
who were also directors and shareholders of MREIC. The merger consideration received by the Company totaled
approximately $55.7 million, which resulted in a gain of approximately $30.7 million. During 2022, the Company
also sold other securities in its portfolio with a total cost of $24.7 million at a loss of $24.3 million. As of December
31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the securities portfolio had net unrealized holding losses of $39.7 million, $36.1 million and

NOTE 5- INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
In December 2021, the Company and Nuveen Real Estate (“Nuveen” or “Nuveen Real Estate”), established
a joint venture for the purpose of acquiring manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle communities that are
under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. The terms of the initial
joint venture entity were set forth in a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 8, 2021 (the “LLC
Agreement”) entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of Nuveen. The LLC
Agreement provided for the parties to initially fund up to $70 million of equity capital for acquisitions during a 24-
month commitment period, with Nuveen having the option, subject to certain conditions, to elect to increase the
parties’ total commitments by up to an additional $100 million and to extend the commitment period for up to an
additional four years. The LLC Agreement called for committed capital to be funded 60% by Nuveen and 40% by
the Company on a parity basis. The Company serves as managing member of the joint venture entity and is responsible
for day-to-day operations of the joint venture entity and management of its properties, subject to obtaining approval
of Nuveen Real Estate for major decisions (including investments, dispositions, financings, major capital expenditures
-82-
and annual budgets). The Company receives property management, asset management and other fees from the joint
venture entity. In addition, once each member has recouped its invested capital and received a 7.5% net unlevered
internal rate of return, 80% of distributable cash will be allocated pro rata in accordance with the members’ respective
percentage interests and the Company and Nuveen will receive a promote percentage equal to 70% (in the case of the
Company) and 30% (in the case of Nuveen) of the remaining 20% of distributable cash. After 7 years the Company
may elect to consummate the crystallization of the promote.
Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, after December 8, 2024 or, if later, the second anniversary of the
acquisition and placing in service of a manufactured housing or recreational vehicle community, Nuveen will have a
right to initiate the sale of one or more of the communities owned by the joint venture entity. If Nuveen elects to
initiate such a sale process, the Company may exercise a right of first refusal to acquire Nuveen’s interest in the
community or communities to be sold for a purchase price corresponding to the greater of the appraised value of such
communities or the amount required to provide a 7.5% net unlevered internal rate of return on Nuveen’s
investment. In addition, the Company will have the right to buy out Nuveen’s interest in the joint venture entity at
any time after December 8, 2031 at a purchase price corresponding to the greater of the appraised value of the portfolio
or the amount required to provide a 7.5% net unlevered internal rate of return on Nuveen’s investment.
The LLC Agreement between the Company and Nuveen provided that until the capital contributions to the
joint venture are fully funded or the joint venture is terminated, the joint venture will be the exclusive vehicle for the
Company to acquire any manufactured housing communities and/or recreational vehicle communities that meet the
joint venture’s investment guidelines. These guidelines called for the joint venture to acquire manufactured housing
and recreational vehicle communities that have been developed within the previous two years and are less than 20%
occupied, are located in certain geographic markets, are projected to meet certain cash flow and internal rate of return
targets, and satisfy certain other criteria. The Company agreed to offer Nuveen the opportunity to have the joint
venture acquire any manufactured housing community or recreational vehicle community that meets these investment
guidelines. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, if Nuveen determines not to pursue or approve any such
acquisition, the Company would be permitted to acquire the property outside the joint venture. Since the execution
of the LLC Agreement, Nuveen has provided the Company with written waivers of the exclusivity provision of the
LLC Agreement with regard to two property acquisitions that may have fit the investment guidelines of the joint
venture, which permitted the Company to acquire them outside of the Nuveen joint venture. Except for investment
opportunities that are offered to and declined by Nuveen, the Company is prohibited from developing, owning,
operating or managing manufactured housing communities or recreational vehicle communities within a 10-mile
radius of any community owned by the joint venture. However, this restriction does not apply with respect to
investments by the Company in existing communities operated by the Company.
The LLC Agreement provides that Nuveen will have the right to remove and replace the Company as
managing member of the joint venture and manager of the joint venture’s properties if the Company breaches certain
obligations or certain events occur. Upon such removal, Nuveen may elect to buy out the Company’s interest in the
joint venture at 98% of the value of the Company’s interest in the joint venture. If Nuveen does not exercise such
buy-out right, the Company may, at specified times, elect to initiate a sale of the communities owned by the joint
venture, subject to a right of first refusal on the part of Nuveen. The LLC Agreement contains restrictions on a party’s
right to transfer its interest in the joint venture without the approval of the other party.
The LLC Agreement requires the Company to offer Nuveen the opportunity to have the joint venture acquire
a manufactured housing community or recreational vehicle community that meets the investment guidelines. If
Nuveen decides not to acquire the community through the joint venture, however, the Company is free to purchase
the community on its own outside of the joint venture.
In December 2021, the joint venture entity closed on the acquisition of Sebring Square, a newly developed
all-age, manufactured home community located in Sebring, Florida, for a total purchase price of $22.2 million. This
community contains 219 developed homesites situated on approximately 39 acres. In December 2022, the joint
venture entity closed on the acquisition of Rum Runner, another newly developed all-age, manufactured home
community also located in Sebring, Florida for a total purchase price of $15.1 million. This community contains 144
developed homesites situated on approximately 20 acres. The Company manages these communities on behalf of the
joint venture entity.
During the time since the joint venture with Nuveen was first established in 2021, the Company and Nuveen
have continued to seek opportunities to acquire additional manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle
-83-
communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines.
During 2022, the Company and Nuveen informally agreed that any future acquisitions would be made by one or more
new joint venture entities to be formed for that purpose and that the original joint venture entity formed in December
2021 will not consummate additional acquisitions but will maintain its existing property portfolio, consisting of the
Sebring Square and Rum Runner communities. The Company and Nuveen also informally agreed that, unless
otherwise determined in connection with any specific future investment, capital for any such new joint venture entity
would continue to be funded 60% by Nuveen and 40% by the Company on a parity basis and that other terms would
be similar to those of the LLC Agreement entered into in 2021, except that the amounts of the parties’ respective
capital commitments will be determined on a property-by-property basis.
In November 2023, the Company expanded its relationship with Nuveen Real Estate and formed a new joint
venture entity with Nuveen. The new joint venture entity was established to, directly or through one or more
subsidiaries, identify, source, originate, acquire, hold, operate, sell, lease, mortgage, maintain, own, manage, finance,
refinance, reposition, improve, renovate, develop, redevelop, pledge, hedge, exchange, and otherwise deal in and with
the rental of manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle communities that meet other investment guidelines.
The terms of the new joint venture entity are set forth in a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of
November 29, 2023 (the “Second LLC Agreement”) entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
and an affiliate of Nuveen. The Company serves as managing member of this new joint venture entity and is
responsible for day-to-day operations of the joint venture entity and management of its properties, subject to obtaining
approval of Nuveen Real Estate for major decisions (including investments, dispositions, financings, major capital
expenditures and annual budgets). The Company receives property management oversite, development and other fees
from the joint venture entity. Sixty-one acres of land located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, previously owned by the
Company, with a carrying value cost basis of $3.8 million, was contributed to the new joint venture entity. The
Company was reimbursed by Nuveen for 60% of the carrying value of this land. This new joint venture entity is
focused on the development of a new manufactured housing community on this property. The community, once
complete, is expected to contain 113 manufactured home sites situated on approximately 61 acres.
References in this report to the Company’s joint venture relationship with Nuveen are intended to refer to its
ongoing relationship with Nuveen.
The Company accounts for its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate under the equity method of accounting
in accordance with ASC 323, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures”.
NOTE 6 - OPPORTUNITY ZONE FUND
In July 2022, the Company invested $8.0 million, representing a portion of the capital gain the Company recognized
as a result of the MREIC merger, in UMH OZ Fund, LLC (“OZ Fund”), a new entity formed by the Company. The OZ Fund
was created to acquire, develop and redevelop manufactured housing communities requiring substantial capital investment
and located in areas designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones by the Treasury Department pursuant to a program authorized
under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to encourage long-term investment in economically distressed areas. The OZ Fund was
designed to allow the Company and other investors in the OZ Fund to defer the tax on recently realized capital gains reinvested
in the OZ Fund until December 31, 2026 and to potentially obtain certain other tax benefits. UMH manages the OZ Fund and
will receive certain management fees as well as a 15% carried interest in distributions by the OZ Fund to the other investors
(subject to first returning investor capital with a 5% preferred return). UMH will have a right of first offer to purchase the
communities from the OZ Fund at the time of sale at their then-current appraised value. On August 10, 2022, the Company,
through the OZ Fund, acquired Garden View Estates, located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, for approximately $5.2 million.
On January 19, 2023, the Company, through the OZ Fund, acquired Mighty Oak, located in Albany, Georgia, for
approximately $3.7 million (See Note 3). As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s investment in the OZ Fund represented
77% of the total capital contributed to the OZ Fund and is consolidated in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other investors in the OZ Fund include certain officers, directors and employees of the Company.

Unsecured Line of Credit
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“Amendment”) to expand and extend its existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The expanded
Facility is syndicated with two banks, BMO and JPMorgan, as joint arrangers and joint book runners, with Bank of
Montreal as administrative agent. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for an increase from $75 million
in available borrowings to $100 million in available borrowings with a $400 million accordion feature, bringing the
total potential availability up to $500 million, subject to certain conditions including obtaining commitments from
additional lenders. The Second Amended Credit Agreement also extends the maturity date of the Facility from
November 29, 2022 to November 7, 2026, with a further one-year extension available at the Company’s option, subject
to certain conditions including payment of an extension fee. Availability under the amended Facility is limited to 60%
of the value of the unencumbered communities which the Company has placed in the Facility’s unencumbered asset
pool (“Borrowing Base”). The value of the Borrowing Base communities is based on a capitalization rate of 6.5%
applied to the Net Operating Income (“NOI”) generated by the communities in the Borrowing Base. Interest rates on

On February 6, 2022, the Company issued $102.7 million of its new 4.72% Series A Bonds due 2027, or the
2027 Bonds, in an offering to investors in Israel. The Company received $98.7 million, net of offering expenses. The
2027 Bonds are unsecured obligations of the Company denominated in Israeli shekels (NIS) and were issued pursuant to
a Deed of Trust dated January 31, 2022 between the Company and Reznik Paz Nevo Trusts Ltd., an Israeli trust company,
as trustee. The 2027 Bonds pay interest at a rate of 4.72% per year. Interest on the 2027 Bonds is payable semi-annually
on August 31, 2022, and on February 28 and August 31 of the years 2023-2026 (inclusive) and on the final maturity date
of February 28, 2027. The principal and interest will be linked to the U.S. Dollar. In the event of a future downgrade by
two or more notches in the rating of the 2027 Bonds or a failure by the Company to comply with certain covenants in the
Deed of Trust, the interest rate on the 2027 Bonds will be subject to increase. However, any such increases, in the aggregate,
would not exceed 1.25% per annum. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is in compliance with these covenants.
Under the Deed of Trust, the Company has the right to redeem the 2027 Bonds, in whole or in part, at any time
on or after 60 days from February 9, 2022, the date on which the 2027 Bonds were listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange (the “TASE”). Any such voluntary early redemption by the Company will require payment of the applicable
early redemption amount calculated in accordance with the Deed of Trust. The Company does not currently intend to
redeem the 2027 Bonds. Upon the occurrence of an event of default or certain other events, including a delisting of the
2027 Bonds by the TASE, the Company may be required to effect an early repayment or redemption of all or a portion of
the 2027 Bonds at their par value plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Deed of Trust permits the Company, subject to
certain conditions, to issue additional 2027 Bonds without obtaining approval of the holders of the 2027 Bonds.
-86-
The 2027 Bonds are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with all
of the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The Deed of Trust includes certain customary covenants,
including financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain ratios of debt to net operating income, to
shareholders’ equity and to earnings, and customary events of default. The 2027 Bonds were offered solely to investors
outside the United States and were not offered to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation
S under the Securities Act of 1933).
Mortgages Payable

NOTE 8 – STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
On May 31, 2023, the shareholders approved the UMH Properties, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Award Plan
(the “2023 Plan”), authorizing the grant of options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards to participants. The
maximum number of shares available for grant under the 2023 Plan is 2.2 million shares. The maximum number of
shares underlying awards that may be granted in any one year to a participant is 300,000 shares. Option awards are
-89-
exercisable after one year of continued employment or service to the Company from the date of grant and typically
vest over five years, 20% per year on each anniversary date of grant. The option price shall not be below the fair
market value at date of grant.
The 2023 Plan replaced the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan (“A&R 2013
Plan”), which by its terms terminated with respect to new awards on June 13, 2023. Outstanding grants under the
A&R 2013 Plan will continue to be subject to the terms of the A&R 2013 Plan. No future awards will be granted
under the A&R 2013 Plan, except for those shares previously reserved for outstanding performance-based grants under
the A&R 2013 Plan.
The Compensation Committee has the exclusive authority to administer and construe the 2023 Plan and shall
determine, among other things: persons eligible for awards and who shall receive them; the terms and conditions of
the awards; the time or times and conditions subject to which awards may become vested, deliverable, exercisable, or
as to which any may apply, be accelerated or lapse; and amend or modify the terms and conditions of an award with
the consent of the participant.
Generally, the term of any stock option may not be more than 10 years from the date of grant. The option
price may not be below the fair market value at date of grant. If and to the extent that an award made under the 2023
Plan is forfeited, expire unexercised, or settled in cash in lieu of Shares, such Shares shall, to the extent of such
forfeiture, expiration, or cash settlement, be available for future grants of awards under the 2023 Plan.
The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock in accordance with ASC 718-10,
Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718-10 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated
and amortized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period).
Stock Options
During the year ended December 31, 2023, sixty-nine employees were granted options to purchase a total of
1.4 million shares. During the year ended December 31, 2022, forty-six employees were granted options to purchase
a total of 570,800 shares. During the year ended December 31, 2021, forty-six employees were granted options to
purchase a total of 767,900 shares. These grants vest ratably over five years. The fair value of these options for the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $4.2 million, $2.6 million and $2.1 million,
respectively, based on assumptions noted below and is being amortized over the vesting period. The remaining
unamortized stock option expense was $6.0 million as of December 31, 2023, which will be expensed ratably through
2028.
The Company calculates the fair value of each option grant on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-
pricing model which requires the Company to provide certain inputs, as follows:
• The assumed dividend yield is based on the Company’s expectation of an annual dividend rate for regular
dividends over the estimated life of the option.
• Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period relevant to the
related stock option grant.
• The risk-free interest rate utilized is the interest rate on U.S. Government Bonds and Notes having the same
life as the estimated life of the Company’s option awards.
• Expected life of the options granted is estimated based on historical data reflecting actual hold periods.
• Estimated forfeiture is based on historical data reflecting actual forfeitures.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the following years:

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER MATTERS
Transactions with Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation
During 2022, the Company realized a gain of approximately $30.7 million as a result of the MREIC merger
(See Note 4).
Employment Agreements
On January 11, 2023, the Company entered into employment agreements with Mr. Samuel A. Landy, Ms.
Anna T. Chew, Mr. Craig Koster and Mr. Brett Taft. The agreements are effective as of January 1, 2023 and have
initial terms of three years which will be renewed automatically thereafter for additional successive one (1) year terms
commencing on the third anniversary and each subsequent anniversary of the effective date unless otherwise
terminated pursuant to the terms of each agreement. The agreements provide for base compensation, incentive cash
bonuses, long term equity compensation awards, which shall be subject to performance-based and time-based vesting
requirements, compensation on termination, including a termination not for cause or voluntary resignation for good
reason following a change of control, and certain customary fringe benefits, including vacation, life insurance and
health benefits and the right to participate in the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan.
Other Matters
Mr. Eugene W. Landy, the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, owned a 24%
interest in the entity that is the landlord of the property where the Company’s corporate office space is located. As of
January 2023, Mr. Eugene Landy transferred this ownership to his son, Mr. Samuel A. Landy, the President and Chief
Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and other family members. The lease of the Company’s corporate
office space extends through April 30, 2027 and requires monthly lease payments of $23,098 through April 30, 2022
and $23,302 from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2027. The Company is also responsible for its proportionate share
of real estate taxes and common area maintenance. Management believes that the aforesaid rents are no more than
what the Company would pay for comparable space elsewhere.
Further, Mr. Eugene W. Landy owns a 9.6% interest, Mr. Samuel A. Landy owns a 4.8% interest, Mr. Daniel
Landy, who is also an officer of the Company and is Samuel A. Landy’s son, owns a 0.96% interest, and the Samuel Landy
Family Limited Partnership (of which Daniel Landy is the sole general partner) owns a 0.96% interest in the OZ Fund. In
addition, one of the Company’s independent directors owns a 0.96% interest in the OZ Fund.
In November 2023, sixty-one acres of land located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, previously owned by the
Company, with a carrying value cost basis of $3.8 million was contributed to the new joint venture entity with Nuveen
for the development of a new manufactured housing community, which, once complete, is expected to contain 113
sites. The Company was reimbursed by Nuveen for 60% of the carrying value of this land.
NOTE 11 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On January 10, 2023, the Company filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State
of Maryland (“SDAT”) articles supplementary reclassifying and designating 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”) as shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.10

reclassifying 199,331 authorized unissued shares of the Corporation's 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and 3,866,000 authorized unissued shares of the Corporation's 6.75%
Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) as authorized shares of the
Corporation's Common Stock. After giving effect to these articles supplementary, the authorized capital stock of the
Company consisted of 170,413,800 shares, classified as 153,713,800 shares of Common Stock, 13,700,000 shares of
Series D Preferred Stock, and 3,000,000 shares of excess stock, par value $0.10 per share. The excess stock is designed
to help us protect our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

Common Stock
On February 8, 2022, the Company’s Common Stock was approved for listing on the TASE. Trading of the
Common Stock on the TASE began on February 9, 2022. The Company’s Common Stock continues to be listed on
the NYSE.
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”), as amended. Under the
terms of the DRIP, shareholders who participate may reinvest all or part of their dividends in additional shares of the
Company at a discounted price (approximately 95% of market value) directly from the Company, from authorized but
unissued shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Shareholders may also purchase additional shares at this
discounted price by making optional cash payments monthly. Optional cash payments must be not less than $500 per
payment nor more than $1,000 unless a request for waiver has been accepted by the Company.

Common Stock At-The-Market Sales Program
On March 7, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2022 Common ATM
Program”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, B. Riley Securities, Inc., Compass Point
Research & Trading, LLC and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, as distribution agents (the “Distribution Agents”)
under which the Company was permitted to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock, having an
aggregate sales price of up to $150 million from time to time through the Distribution Agents, as agents or principals.
Sales of the shares of Common Stock under the 2022 Common ATM Program were made in “at the market offerings”
as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without
limitation, sales made directly on or through the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other existing trading
market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker or any other method permitted by law, including,
without limitation, negotiated transactions and block trades. The 2022 Common ATM Program replaced the
Company’s previous Common Stock ATM Program. During 2023, 2.1 million shares of Common Stock were issued
and sold under the 2022 Common ATM Program at a weighted average price of $16.77 per share, generating gross
proceeds of $35.6 million and net proceeds of $35.1 million, after offering expenses.
On April 4, 2023, the Company entered into a new equity distribution agreement (the “2023 Common ATM
Program”) with the Distribution Agents and terminated the 2022 Common ATM Program. Under the 2023 Common
ATM Program, the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock, having an aggregate sales
price of up to $150 million from time to time through the Distribution Agents, as agents or principals. Sales of the
shares of Common Stock under the 2023 Common ATM Program are made in “at the market offerings” as defined in
Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the NYSE or any
other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker or any other method permitted
by law, including, without limitation, negotiated transactions and block trades. The Distribution Agents are not
required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use commercially reasonable efforts
consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between the Distribution Agents
and the Company. The Company began selling shares under the 2023 Common ATM Program on April 4, 2023 and
through December 31, 2023, 7.3 million shares of Common Stock were issued and sold at a weighted average price
of $15.53 per share, generating gross proceeds of $113.0 million and net proceeds of $110.7 million, after offering
expenses.
Under both the 2022 Common ATM Program and the 2023 Common ATM Program, for the year ended
December 31, 2023, a total of 9.4 million shares of Common Stock were issued and sold at a weighted average price
-95-
of $15.81 per share, generating gross proceeds of $148.6 million and net proceeds of $145.8 million, after offering
expenses.
As of December 31, 2023, $37.0 million of common stock remained eligible for sale under the 2023 Common
ATM Program.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On January 11, 2023, the Board of Directors reaffirmed our Common Stock Repurchase Program (the
“Repurchase Program”) that authorized us to repurchase up to $25 million in the aggregate of the Company’s Common
Stock. Purchases under the Repurchase Program were permitted to be made using a variety of methods, which may
include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or block trades, or by any combination of such
methods, in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The size, scope and
timing of any purchases would be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price,
regulatory and contractual requirements or consents, and capital availability. The Repurchase Program did not require
the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at
any time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice. Although the Repurchase Program remains in effect, the
Company did not make any repurchases of Common Stock during 2023.
Preferred Stock
6.75% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
On July 26, 2022, the Company voluntarily redeemed all 9.9 million issued and outstanding shares of its
6.75% Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the $25.00 per share liquidation preference plus accrued
and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the July 26, 2022 redemption date in an amount of $0.2578 per share, for
a total payment of $25.2578 per share, or $249.6 million in aggregate. As a result of our redemption, the Company
recognized a preferred share redemption charge of approximately $8.2 million in 2022, primarily related to the original
issuance costs.
6.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
On January 22, 2018, the Company issued 2 million shares of its Series D Preferred Stock at an offering price
of $25.00 per share in an underwritten registered public offering. The Company received net proceeds from the sale
of these 2 million shares, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses, of
approximately $48.2 million and has used the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, which
included the purchase of manufactured homes for sale or lease to customers, expansion of its existing communities,
acquisitions of additional properties and repayment of indebtedness on a short-term basis.
Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shares are cumulative from January 22, 2018 and are payable
quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 at an annual rate of $1.59375 per share.
The Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share, has no maturity and will remain outstanding
indefinitely unless redeemed or otherwise repurchased. On and after January 22, 2023, the Series D Preferred Stock
is redeemable at the Company’s option for cash, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at a price per share equal to
$25.00, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or Change of Control, each as defined in the Prospectus pursuant
to which the shares of Series D Preferred Stock were offered, each holder of the Series D Preferred Stock will have
the right to convert all or part of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock held into Common Stock of the Company,
unless the Company elects to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock.
Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except if the Company fails to pay
dividends for nine or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, or with respect to certain specified events.
During 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company sold additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to its
at-the-market sales programs, and amended its charter in connection therewith, as described below.
-96-
Preferred Stock At-The-Market Sales Programs
On July 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock At-The-Market Sales Program (the “2020
Preferred ATM Program”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as distribution agent (“B. Riley”), under which the Company
may offer and sell shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock, having an
aggregate sales price of up to $100 million. Sales of shares under the 2020 Preferred ATM Program are made in “at
the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly
on or through the NYSE, or on any other existing trading market for the Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred
Stock, as applicable, or to or through a market maker or any other method permitted by law, including, without
limitation, negotiated transactions and block trades. On July 26, 2022, the Company redeemed all of its issued and
outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock and therefore, in light of the redemption, disclosed that the Company
does not intend to issue any new shares of Series C Preferred Stock. During January 2023, the Company issued and
sold 126,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock under the 2020 Preferred ATM Program at a weighted average price
of $22.25 per share, generating total gross and net proceeds, of $2.8 million.
On January 10, 2023, the Company entered into a new At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2023
Preferred ATM Program”) with B. Riley and terminated the use of the 2020 Preferred ATM Program. Under the 2023
Preferred ATM Program, the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, having
an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million from time to time through B. Riley, as agent or principal. Sales of the
shares of Series D Preferred Stock in the 2023 Preferred ATM Program will be in “at the market offerings” as defined
in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the NYSE or on
any other existing trading market for the Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, or to or through a market maker or
any other method permitted by law, including, without limitation, negotiated transactions and block trades. B. Riley
is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use its commercially reasonable
efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between B. Riley and the
Company. The Company began selling shares under the 2023 Preferred ATM Program on January 10, 2023 and
through December 31, 2023, 2.5 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock were issued and sold at a weighted average
price of $21.86 per share, generating gross proceeds of $53.9 million and net proceeds of $52.9 million, after offering
expenses.

December 31, 2023, a total of 2.6 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock were issued and sold at a weighted
average price of $21.88 per share, generating gross proceeds of $56.7 million and net proceeds of $55.7 million, after

In addition to the above, taxable income from non-REIT activities conducted by S&F, a Taxable REIT
Subsidiary (“TRS”), is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. Deferred income taxes pertaining to S&F are
accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for
temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and
for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts
are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not
that they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other
factors. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021, S&F had operating losses for financial reporting purposes
of $648,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, S&F had operating income for
financial reporting purposes of $71,000. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been established against any deferred
tax assets relating to S&F. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, S&F recorded $68,000, $16,000
and $10,000, respectively, in federal, state and franchise taxes.
NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. Management does not
believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, or results of
operations of the Company.

The Company had an agreement with 21st Mortgage under which 21st Mortgage provided financing for
home purchasers in the Company’s communities. The Company did not receive referral fees or other cash
compensation under the agreement. If 21st Mortgage made loans to purchasers and those purchasers defaulted on
their loans and 21st Mortgage repossessed the homes securing such loans, the Company agreed to purchase from
21st Mortgage each such repossessed home for a price equal to 80% to 95% of the amount under each such loan,
subject to certain adjustments. As of December 31, 2023, the total loan balance under this agreement was
approximately $2.4 million. Additionally, 21st Mortgage previously made loans to purchasers in certain communities
we acquired. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the Company has agreed to purchase from 21st Mortgage each
repossessed home, if those purchasers default on their loans. The purchase price ranges from 55% to 100% of the
amount under each such loan, subject to certain adjustments. As of December 31, 2023, the total loan balance owed
to 21st Mortgage with respect to homes in these acquired communities was approximately $668,000. This program
was terminated on June 22, 2023. The Company’s repurchase obligations for the outstanding loans that were
originated by 21st Mortgage remain in effect.
The Company entered into a Manufactured Home Retailer Agreement (the “MHRA”) with 21st Mortgage
on January 24, 2023, under which 21st Mortgage provides financing for home purchasers in the Company’s
communities. 21st Mortgage has no recourse against the Company under the MHRA except in instances where the
Customer defaults before two scheduled monthly payments are paid by the purchaser and the default is based on any
dispute between S&F surrounding the terms or execution of the purchase and sale of the home. Upon such a default,
S&F is to take assignment of the loan from 21st Mortgage for the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest. As
of December 31, 2023, no loans have been originated under the MHRA.
S&F entered into a Chattel Loan Origination, Sale and Servicing Agreement (“COP Program”) with Triad
Financial Services, effective January 1, 2016. Neither the Company, nor S&F, receive referral fees or other cash
compensation under the agreement. Customer loan applications are initially submitted to Triad for consideration by
Triad’s portfolio of outside lenders. If a loan application does not meet the criteria for outside financing, the
application is then considered for financing under the COP Program. If the loan is approved under the COP Program,
then it is originated by Triad, assigned to S&F and then assigned by S&F to the Company. Included in Notes and
Other Receivables is approximately $73.6 million of loans that the Company acquired under the COP Program as of
December 31, 2023.
The Company and one of its subsidiaries are parties to a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of
December 8, 2021 with an affiliate of Nuveen, which governs the initial joint venture entity between the Company
and Nuveen. The LLC Agreement provided for the parties to initially fund up to $70 million of equity capital for
acquisitions during a 24-month commitment period, with Nuveen having the option, subject to certain conditions, to
elect to increase the parties’ total commitments by up to an additional $100 million and to extend the commitment
period for up to an additional four years. The Company is required to fund 40% of the committed capital and Nuveen
is required to fund 60%. All such funding will be on a parity basis. Since the execution of the LLC Agreement, this
joint venture entity has acquired two properties. The Company and Nuveen have continued to seek, and are continuing
to seek, opportunities to acquire additional manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle communities that are
under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. The Company and Nuveen
have informally agreed that any future acquisitions would be made by one or more new joint venture entities to be
formed for that purpose and that the existing joint venture entity formed in December 2021 will not consummate
additional acquisitions but will maintain its existing property portfolio. The Company and Nuveen also informally
agreed that, unless otherwise determined in connection with any specific future investment, capital for any such new
joint venture entity would continue to be funded 60% by Nuveen and 40% by the Company on a parity basis and that
other terms would be similar to those of the LLC Agreement entered into in 2021, except that the amounts of the
parties’ respective capital commitments will be determined on a property-by-property basis. In 2023, the Company
and Nuveen formed a new joint venture entity, governed by a new joint venture agreement, focused on the
development of a new manufactured housing community located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania. The community,
once complete, is expected to contain 113 manufactured home sites situated on approximately 61 acres. As with the
2021 LLC Agreement, capital contributions to the joint venture entity formed for this project will be funded 60% by
Nuveen and 40% by the Company on a parity basis and the other terms (including restrictions on the Company’s right
to acquire manufacturing housing communities that meet the LLC Agreement’s investment guidelines without first
offering Nuveen an opportunity to participate in the acquisition) are similar to those set forth in the LLC Agreement
entered into in 2021 (See Note 5).
-100-
On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase two manufactured home communities,
located in Maryland, for approximately $12.5 million. As of February 28, 2024 this transaction remains pending.
NOTE 15 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows ASC 825, Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and liabilities recognized at
fair value on a recurring basis. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring
basis, including marketable securities. The fair value of these certain financial assets and liabilities was determined
using the following inputs at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

In addition to the Company’s investment in marketable securities at fair value, the Company is required to
disclose certain information about fair values of its other financial instruments, as defined in ASC 825-10, Financial
Instruments. Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time, based upon, where available, relevant market
prices and information about the financial instrument. Such estimates do not include any premium or discount that
could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. All
of the Company’s marketable securities have quoted market prices. However, for a portion of the Company's other
financial instruments, no quoted market value exists. Therefore, estimates of fair value are necessarily based on a
number of significant assumptions (many of which involve events outside the control of management). Such
assumptions include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated with these financial
instruments and their counterparties, future expected loss experience and other factors. Given the uncertainties
surrounding these assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only and, therefore, cannot be compared
to the historical accounting model. Use of different assumptions or methodologies is likely to result in significantly
different fair value estimates.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivable approximates their current carrying amounts
since all such items are short-term in nature. The fair value of variable rate loans payable approximate their current
carrying amounts since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest.
As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $489.8 million and
the carrying value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $501.1 million.
NOTE 16 – SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash paid for interest during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $35.5 million, $27.0
million and $19.7 million, respectively. Interest cost capitalized to land development during the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $5.0 million, $2.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, land development costs of $27.9 million, $26.3
million and $25.9 million, respectively were transferred to investment property and equipment and placed in service.
-101-
During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company had dividend reinvestments of
$2.7 million, $2.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, which required no cash transfers.
