Having said that, I would like to introduce management with us today, Eugene Landy, Chairman; Samuel Landy, President and Chief Executive Officer; Anna Chew, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Brett Taft, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; Jim Lykins, Vice President of Capital Markets; and Daniel Landy, Vice President. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to UMH’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Samuel Landy.

Thank you very much, Nelli. We are pleased to report our third quarter earnings results. Normalized FFO for the third quarter was $0.23 per share, as compared to $0.18 per share last year. This represents an increase of approximately 28% over the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of the year normalized FFO was $0.65 which is an increase of 30% over last year. This is the sixth quarter in a row that UMH has maintained or increased or normalized FFO per share. Our business plan of acquiring valuates communities making the necessary improvements and implementing aggressive rental sales and marketing programs has been extremely successful. Not only have we generated increased earnings for our shareholders, but we have also provided countless residents with high quality affordable housing that previously was not obtainable for them. An investment in UMH is an investment in providing affordable housing. The results that we have reported quarter-after-quarter are starting to be recognized by the public markets. We have achieved an equity market cap of over $1 billion and growing. Our access to capital at attractive rates has never been better. This reduced cost of capital through both the equity and debt markets will allow us to drive additional FFO growth through investment internally and externally. It will also help us to redeem our outstanding $247 million of series C 6.75% preferred stock in July of 2022 and $215 million of our series D 6.375% preferred stock in January of 2023. Reducing our cost of capital on these preferred series could result in additional $0.20 to $0.30 per share, depending on the percentages and rates of equity and debt utilized for the redemption. The redemption of our preferred stock combined with our ability to continue to grow earnings organically and increased property…

Thank you, Sam. Funds from operations for FFO was $10.8 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $4.5 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the prior year period. Normalize FFO, which excludes certain non-recurring items was $11.1 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $7.4 million or $0.18 per diluted share for the prior year period; an increase of 28% on a per share basis. These increases were due to our strong operating performance and redemption of our series B preferred stock last year. Rental and related income for the quarter was $40.2 million, compared to $36.4 million a year ago, representing an increase of 11%. Community NOI increased by 16% for the quarter from $20.1 million in 2020 to $23.4 million in 2021. These increases were primarily due to community acquisitions, the addition of rental homes the growth in occupancy and an increase in rental rate. Our same property monthly site rent increase 3.9% and our monthly home rent increase 3.8%. Our average monthly site rent is now $474 and our average home rent is $811. Same property occupancy increased 190 basis points or 435 occupied sites over last year. Same property occupancy is now 87.3% and same property rental home occupancy is 95.6%. Sales of manufactured homes increased 15% for the quarter from $6.8 million in 2020 to $7.8 million in 2021. Our 15% increase in sales resulted in the sales gain of $611,000. Year-to-date, sales have improved 45% from $15 million last year to $21.8 million this year. Our sales gain for the year is at $1.5 billion as compared to $445,000 last year. During the quarter, we continue to strengthen our already strong financial position. We entered into a new ATM…

UMH’s basic business of providing quality affordable housing has never been better. As strategy of acquiring value and communities below replacement costs with vacancies and rehabilitating them could not have been better time. Since 2010 we’ve purchased 99 communities containing 17,200 sites with a blended occupancy rate of 75%. These vacant sites that were acquired provide us with a one way for future occupancy and revenue growth. As we previously mentioned, turn around acquisitions takes two to three years to come online before they start to positively contribute to earnings. The capital improvements, good management and the investment in new housing stock have allowed us to drive best in class, same property occupancy and NOI performance. We still have 3,300 vacant sites with an existing portfolio to fill and 1,800 vacant acres that can potentially be developed into approximately 7,300 new home sites. These vacant sites and expansion sites may provide us with a runway to continue to produce similar same property results moving forward. In addition to the anticipated improvement in earnings from operations, we are working on our strategy to redeem and replace our outstanding preferred series with lower cost equity and debt. To reduce cost of capital could drive earnings growth in the $0.20 to $0.30 per share range. The future is bright for UMH, but our nation faces an affordable housing crisis. We continue to focus on our social mission of providing the nation with quality affordable housing. Our elected representatives on both sides of the aisle recognize the problem that developers have been providing this housing. We are working with local, state and federal officials, as well as the manufacturing housing institute to help spread the message that manufactured housing is the best way to provide unsubsidized quality affordable housing. The current administration has been very supportive of building new manufactured housing communities, and we expect to see additional development opportunities as zoning barriers are addressed. We want developers and realtors to know they can earn significant profits finding us manufactured home community development projects throughout the country. We believe developers can contract land, engineer quality community, obtain full approvals and then sell it to us and earn approximately $10,000 per approved site depending on the market. We believe getting this message out could make us the fastest growing provider of communities containing a combination of resident owned and resident vented manufactured homes in the country. We also expect more favorable financing for our residents giving them the ability to finance and refinance their homes. Down payment assistance programs currently being contemplated by the federal government to make manufactured housing a realistic housing alternative for the underserved portion of our population. We are committed to playing a crucial role in solving the affordable housing crisis. Those who seek investments with worthy social goals should consider our company. We would now be happy to take your questions.

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. [Operator Instructions] First question comes from Rob Stevenson with Janney. Go ahead.

Good morning, guys. Sam, I know you want to be reasonable on renewals with tenants. But on new leases, how are you thinking about pricing? I mean, when you look at the apartment REITs most of those guys are up double digits on new leases these days, even the ones that didn’t get hammered in 2020. How are you sort of factoring that in as you guys go through pricing on new leases?

Well as you know, when we began this manufactured homes and manufactured home communities had an image problem and by being very moderate on our rent increases just 4% per year, we have dramatically improved the word of mouth pertaining to manufactured home communities at least those managed and operated by UMH properties. So for existing residents, people who live in homes that they own or homes that they rent from us we are shooting for a 4% rent increase. And I want to go over something just for a second before I answer the rest of that. When you look at real estate and real estate companies the reason people left shopping malls and other forms of real estate is the internet made shopping more competitive elsewhere. I think that the problem with real estate companies is people were not operators. They weren’t running a business. A business person tries to reduce expenses and increase the value the customer received for the product. And that’s our mission and that’s our goal. So existing residents to the extent we can control it will only receive a 4% rent increase. To the extent inflation makes us go above that we have the pricing power to go above that. Now there’s a difference between existing residents and new residents. On new residents somebody buying a new home and renting a site from us for the first time, we can put that rent to whatever the market will bear which may in fact be a 10% - 15% increase over existing. And the same goes on rental homes. But for existing residents, our goal and our job is to keep rents as low as possible and our goal there we want 50% expense ratio if residents pay water and sewer, and 30% expense ratio if it’s separately metered. So if we can achieve those goals that’s as efficiently as a community can operate and you’ll be there when you hit 90% plus occupancy, and that’s our goal. But our goal is to do it without raising rents more than approximately 4% for existing residents.

Do you guys track same store new lease growth on a quarterly basis? Do you have that number if you do?

We don’t have it in front of us. But it’s something that we are starting to look into now and we’ll come back to another time with the answer there.

And then Sam can you talk about home sales demand versus ability to get the homes? I mean you guys did a good amount this quarter. But how much more homes could you have sold if you had access to more inventory, is it substantial or are you selling about what you would even if the inventory wasn’t constrained?

My belief is its substantial book, Brett has the exact numbers. So go ahead.

Yes, absolutely. Our home sales numbers first of all, we’re very happy with that and they were up 15% on the quarter and we’re up 45% on the year. Looking at our second quarter numbers we had a lot of inventory in place set up and ready to be sold, which is what allowed us in the second quarter to drive. I think it was 91% sales growth. So in speaking with all of our sales people and looking at the market and looking at the finance applications in place, we do have a lot of deals pending, and we do expect to produce similar sales growth. But it’s the same thing on the rental end. Same property occupancy was up 190 basis points or 435 units year-over-year. We were getting used to it being up 280 to 320 basis points and 690 to 780 as of yearend. So we are aggressively ordering homes. We do think that we have a lot of inventory that will land in the fourth quarter of the first half of next year to allow us to produce similar results. But we’re certainly inventory constrained.

If you order a home today, how long is it taking for you guys to get it in on the site?

It depends on the market and the manufacturer it’s coming from but anywhere from 6 to 12 months.

So you guys are almost at this point ordering for 2023.

We are having those discussions as we speak. Yes.

And then last one for me. Given your commentary about the looking to replace the preferred, how far in advance are you willing to put in replacement financing there and sort of carry the sort of double sort of hit for some period of time in terms of twice the financing? I mean, would you do it six months early and carry the additional financing for that six months if the rates on both equity and debt are advantageous? Is it got to be sort of more within three months? How do you think about that?

Right, six months is great, because we do not believe the dilution is very much. We have calculated, I don’t have it in front of me. But we’ve already started. That’s why we had our ATM open, we’ve already raised quite a bit of money on our ATM, we have cash available. We have cleared a lot of our bank lines. We have availability on our rental home line, our notes receivable life and if we need to, we can also tap into our securities portfolio.

Okay. All right. Thanks, guys. Appreciate the time.

The next question comes from Keegan Carl with Berenberg. Please go ahead.

Thanks for taking the questions. I know you touched on a little bit earlier, but can you give some more color on the acquisition pipeline going forward just kind of to reiterate, just kind of on low volume this year. Is it truly a function of pricing or is there just not as much out there that you guys think fits your portfolio at the moment?

Brett’s going to be more specific, but we try to be very opportunistic as to acquisitions and to the extent you tried to make them happen, they become overpriced. When you have a willing buyer and a willing seller, the price can be the right amount, but right now there’s far more buyers than sellers and it creates issues but go ahead Brett.

No, I think Sam hit the nail on the head there. We’re absolutely looking for existing acquisitions. We do have an offer out and are negotiating contract. I can’t really touch on that too much more at the moment. I think earlier in the year we gave acquisition guidance with 25 million to 50 million in value add and stabilize deals. We’re going to come up just short of that most likely this year, but we’re happy with the 18.3 million we were able to get. We’re growing the portfolio in the areas we want to. We’re seeing good performance there and talking about the pricing a little bit as Sam mentioned, there are so many buyers, and there are deals available. But because of how many people are coming into the market, these cap rates are compressing to points where we look at the cost per site. We look at the improvements we need to make. We look at the management the payroll, the RNM, that needs to go into these properties turn them into UMH quality communities. And we just don’t think that in most cases, the returns are there. So we’re looking at that and comparing it to some of the opportunities we’re seeing on the development front. And we’re thinking that we are really liking what we’re seeing there. The returns are penciling out to where we want them to be. They will be coming online accretive in similar timelines as the value added acquisitions. And we will at the end of the infill process, have a brand new property with brand new infrastructure, brand new homes versus what we see on the value add front. So if the opportunities are available, and again, I do think we still will do some value added acquisitions we will absolutely do them. But we’re finding quite a bit on the development side as well.

Just kind of on that front, basically, you’re seeing how many new Greenfield development opportunities are you guys seeing out there and typically weighted towards the southern states?

Well, so it’s a limited number. Yes, it’s in the southern state. But the message that I think we put out very well in our prepared remarks and we’re working with MHI and everybody else to get the message out developers haven’t thought about building manufactured home communities because so few have been built. And in any market you could determine what acreage should cost, you know what the engineering should cost and we are telling developers go, you develop or go contract that land, do the engineering, get the full approvals, and we’ll pay you a $10,000 per lot profit to buy it from you fully approved. So on 250 lots, they can make 2,000,005, we got that message out in the south in Florida about three years ago. And now we are contracted to purchase three separate to be built communities. So as we get that message out, and people listen to us, and realize that they could make that money at the approval stage or they can build it and make additional funds for building it and selling it to us at that stage we see it, the system is jammed up. Nobody’s tried to build communities in 20 years. We get this message out, people will try to build communities, and we’re here as a buyer. So we don’t know how well we’ll do but we think there’s 50 states, and we have 40 more states to get into. And this will provide the opportunity to get there.

Got it. And just want one final one for me. Just bigger picture if you give us some more color on the White House’s proposed affordable housing plan where you guys see yourself fitting in. And then I guess how do the additional opportunities from this proposal, how do they fit relative to previous administrations?

We’re very excited, Eugene Landy, Chairman. We’re very excited about what’s being proposed and the various items that are coming through and we hope they get adopted. One is, people who can’t afford a down payment and don’t have a relative a rich uncle they have been put out. They have been taken out of the housing market and while they’re other classes of people have benefited from a rise in home prices they were just taken out of the system. And both parties are proposing both Republicans and Democrats proposing assistance, one bill in the senate I think is 15,000 a person first time homebuyer never bought a home before that they provide 15,000 and other bill is for 25,000. I can’t say they will be passed, but we’re hoping they will be passed. And we know how many 1,000s of people we turned out because they don’t have the down payment. The people have enough trouble paying the $800 rent plus the $800 security and they don’t have the $1,600 to have the government proposed a program to lend them 15,000 or 25,000 will have an immediate and immense effect on the demand for manufactured housing and we hope these bills pass and there are other, the government this is a crisis. So we don’t use the term lightly. You need 4 million or 5 million, 6 million more homes, you have to build that 100,000 homes a year, we need to build 200,000 homes a year. The industry needs to build at least 500 new communities of 200 homes a piece. That’s 100,000 homes and that’s a drop in the bucket as compared to the need for housing, which is immense and the shortage is there and home prices reflect that they’d go up 20% in one year because the demand exceeds the supply. So the government is behind any steps that will help solve that problem. And I have to give my son Sam Landy, a lot of credit, lot of credit to the staff, we’ve been spending a lot of time with governors, secretaries of housing, senators and the manufacturing housing and Steve is working on this. And we think there’s going to be a positive response and for the next 20 years, we hope that the nation turns to manufactured housing to alleviate the crisis in affordable housing.

Got it. Thanks for the time guys.

The next question comes from Craig Kucera with B. Riley. Please go ahead.

Yes, good morning. Sam, for years, you put in 800 to 900 homes, rental homes into your communities and obviously having some challenges with inventory today. But given the visibility of what you’re ordering well into next year, can you give us some color on what you expect to do here in 21 and maybe sort of what your expectations are for 22 or another year, maybe light of 800, or any thoughts there would be helpful?

So 2021, we wanted to add 900 rental homes and sell 200 new homes, we’re going to be short of our goal because of the unavailability of housing, but I don’t believe it’s going to affect the numbers because the pent up inventory that we had from a year ago, the inventory that was being set up, etc, will allow us to have adequate sales and adequate rental unit growth in 2021. And as you can see, we’re at the end of the third quarter and our numbers have not been negatively affected. The winter season is generally the manufacturers’ slowest season. So they have the opportunity to catch up and so if they didn’t catch up, we could have a real problem the first and second quarter of 2022. But I expect they’re going to catch up a bit so that in 2022 we will get back to the ability to add 900 rental homes and 200 new home sales. And so we could have done even better this year possibly whatever we do in the first quarter of next year, we could have done better if we had more homes, but I don’t think it’s going to negatively impact us.

Yes. And just to add a little bit as to what the inventory looks like right now we’ve got 208 homes that are on site in various stages of setup. Those homes assuming they should fail during the fourth quarter, during the first quarter of next year. We’ve got 430 additional homes that were ordered prior to June of this year. I mentioned earlier we are seeing 6 to 12 months. So those homes are starting to arrive and should arrive throughout the first quarter of next year giving us a good pipeline of homes to continue to drive reasonable same store occupancy growth.

Got it. I appreciate that. Switching gears, you mentioned that you were looking to buy three communities for about 90 million. One is going to be completed in the first quarter. But can you talk about the others? Are those expected to be constructed at some point in 2022? Are those further out in the future?

Yes. So the other two are expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022. It is development and there are a lot of moving parts. So I can’t absolutely guarantee that but the current plan is to have them opening at the beginning of the fourth quarter. And if anything changes we’ll keep you posted.

Got it. And given that these are brand new communities are you thinking that you’re going to continue to have them renew at 4% increases or is there a thought to maybe pushing that a little harder because they are newer than what you typically have as your value communities.

New communities pricing is completely different than anything we currently own. Number one, all the infrastructure is brand new, lots of brand new clubhouse amenities. So new communities the pricing and my conclusion is that at any company the person who does the pricing is one of the most important people at the company. We will do plenty of market studies to make sure that using manufactured homes and manufactured home communities makes us the lowest cost producer of quality housing, but we will not be lower than the market will bear. So we will very carefully evaluate how many dollars can be earned in the sales profit, and where the rents should be to achieve those percentage operating incomes we spoke about and everything we looked at in terms of the very limited number of communities being built in the country, and what homes are selling for manufactured homes can be over $200,000 in new developments in the country and lock rents in these new developments. So before off to say 600 - 700 a month.

You're right on line with what we're projecting here. So yes.

So it's based on what the market would bear as well as knowing where the lowest cost producer.

The next question comes from Henry Coffey with Wedbush. Please go ahead.

Yes. Good morning, and thank you for taking my question. I know you put it out there, but these three communities represent how many sites?

804 total sites. The first one can be delivered in December/January should say the first quarter of next year is 219 sites.

And the sort of rent up cycle and the JV how do those work? How does that work? Is it the JV is going to hold the assets to the rental cycle is completed? Or how does that work?

Yes. I've got to be a little bit careful, because the JV agreement isn't signed yet, but we are working on it. We will, the JV will fill the properties. There will be a hold period at certain times throughout, there are triggers that you will make or either buy it or it could be sold to the open market. But without going into too much detail that's the basic strategy. The JV and us being the managing partner will be responsible for the infill of the project.

I'll just add to that. So the problem with development is you have incredible capital clusters that do not earn money when you begin and that could be a 3, 5, 7 year period. So you're incredible capital cost your money, filling the community cost your money. No developer makes money on the first phase. You make money on later phases. With that in mind, by going to a joint venture development, you reduce the capital, we're tying up. We collect immediate management fees for operating it as both assets under management. So you turn a negative into a positive. It immediately provides FFO whereas if you did it yourself, it would not provide FFO. And then you're adding value for both yourself and your joint venture partner that you'll capitalize on. So we're very excited about the concept and it does give us that ability. Again we see ourselves as all of America's great companies Wal-Mart, Burger King, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, we have a great product that people want and now we have to bring it to all 50 states. And that joint venture provides us the opportunity to do that.

Now, just kind of continuing on those sorts of themes, some of them were residential mortgage broker bankers we work with, have begun providing to their brokers basically manufactured housing finance, direct finance. Developing programs, they both seem to be coming to life just this year. How would the availability of that sort of financing of agency, GSE financing the same thing we all get, how would that change the equation for your residents and for your own approach to financing acquisitions?

Yes. So the lower cost housing is the higher the demand. So reducing the interest rate that people pay increases demand, the government is working on what they need to work on two things. One is zoning barriers and two, the cost of financing for manufactured homes, and they are working on both issues. UMH began financing manufactured homes in 2001 was extremely successful at it and has always charged a lower rate than anybody else on our financing. The various laws enacted in 2009 prevent us from financing many of the people who would benefit by owning their house but they can't be financed because they don't meet debt to income requirements. They don't have adequate reportable income and they may have poor credit from being foreclosed at about $300,000 - $400,000 house and now they're moving into a $70,000 house. So the lowest make all of those people un-financeable, which is why we rent nine homes for every one we sell. But any improvements in the financing are good for the industry and good for our residents.

And then you mentioned would that change your own approach? I know you're basically financing your own residence right now. Would you move that take those assets and move them over to the agencies or what is your thought process there?

Well, to the extent the agencies become significantly less expensive than our lending our loans become sellable. They can be securitized and sold, they can be sold as is, or they can be the residence loan can be refinance. So we'd be open to all of those things. Our purpose again keep communities at 95% plus occupancy at the expense ratios we talked about and lower finance costs will do that for us.

And then just kind of related to that topic you did give us one example of how you've been able to tap the hidden value in your properties with re-financings. How much of that potential refinance will play into the redemption of the preferred.

We have coming up in 2022 and 2023, approximately $100 million in mortgage debt. We believe that we will be able to refinance that for over $200 million and pick it up and take out about $100 million of trapped equity.

And what Anna is talking about is strictly on the property level. We also have our 8700 rental homes that we paid cash for and we are working every day with the GSEs and with banks to get them to directly lend on those houses. If that occurs, that's significant money. I mean start imagining 8,700 times $70,000 and we can we can get that financing from the houses directly. So we haven't jumped that hurdle yet. But we work on it every day.

What is their resistance? What is the primary resistance point?

So in the beginning and I'm going back five plus years, they said it's too difficult to track the collateral. If you have a community of 250 homes and we own 125 of those homes how is the government sponsored entity to kind of know which ones they have the loan on and which ones they don't. And that's when we came to the conclusion look, we'll do Memphis Blues as an all rental community. And you can do the mortgage on the land and the home at the same time, lend us on both the land and the home at the GSE rates. And we've had very, very positive feedback on that. And once we received 95% occupancy of Memphis Blues, which will probably happen in the next 18 months and the incomes proper, we will do that deal and we'll be the first one. And then you go to while we were working on that we said to them look you've allowed 60% rental homes in the community technology being what it is you could stick a computer chip on the home and you could track it. Why can't you finance a mixed use community? And we've achieved that with private banks at very reasonable rates and we may achieve that with the GSEs and we're very close to achieving it. And that's where we are today.

Thank you for answering my questions.

[Operator Instructions] The next question comes from Brian Hollenden with Aegis Capital. Please go ahead.

Good morning and thanks for taking my call. On the residential development deals in Florida at 105,000 per pad, what returns on capital are you guys expecting?

Yes. So we are looking at return including sales profits in the 6% to 7% range, basically taking the sales profit and backing it off of the $105,000 cost per site. If you leave the 105,000 site in there, our yields once stabilized are going to be in the 4.5% to 5.5% range depending on the property and the infill rates. We are also seven years looking at IRR's unlevered, in excess of 7.5%.

And keep in mind, the history of manufactured home communities is the individual people built communities and sold the home to pay for the lot, and then collected a lot rent forever thereafter. So in the 1970s, 80s, it was typical to build a community and sell your home with the profits of that sale going to pay for the lot. Because there were all the various downturns in housing that hasn't occurred in many years that anyone 100% paid for the lot from the sale. But looking at things today, I don't find $105,000 as an impossible profit margin on manufactured homes in Florida. So the potential exists that you could earn 100% of the cost to build a lot from the sale. So whether it's 100%, 50%, 30%. I don't know. It depends on the market on the time you're trying to sell the houses, but it's all doable.

It kind of leads to the follow up, I guess how many homes within the new developments are you kind of underwriting that you think will be owned versus lots will become rentals?

We also don't know the answer to that question because our objective is to go fast on cash flow. You don't want to have 50 lots sitting there without activity occurring quickly. So whatever it takes to get that activity going quickly whether it's renting the homes or selling the homes, that's what we're going to do and we don't know the answer to that question yet. We will be marketing them for both sale or rent. But whether we do sale or rent it's going to provide an adequate return.

Exactly. And the yield ranges I gave you were basically the difference between sale and rent.

Got it. Thanks for that color. And then last one for me over the last 12 months across all your properties how many new lots have been developed and rented from your vacant acreage? How confident are you that some portion of your 1800 vacant acres can be developed and rented?

Yes, sure. So this year we completed the development of 225 sites. We're happy to report that they're selling homes are filling sites quickly. Again, the main problem is if we had more homes, we'd fill more sites at a more rapid pace, but we're running adequate sales profits at those locations. And for 2022 we are projecting 400 to 600 units. We think that 400 is very achievable. We could get to 600 depending on whether or not we can obtain some lender approvals to do the development. The 400 sites we are looking at in 2022 five of those communities and 253 sites are in Ohio, 1 is in Maryland, about 70 sites, 1 in Tennessee 76 sites and 1 in Indiana or Pennsylvania and that's 35 sites.

We have very successfully built lots in the past. We have Craig Koster, our attorney, we have Jeff Yorick, an engineer who has an assistant engineer, Alan Patterson. So we have three professionals on staff to work with outside developers, work with outside engineers, outside attorneys. We also use the services of Don Westfall, who's built more of manufactured home communities than anyone in the country. So we have a very significant team to get approvals and build sites.

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Samuel Landy for any closing remarks.
