Why Trailstead invests here
Workforce housing gap
Oilfield service crews and operators consistently outpace local single-family supply, pushing demand into MHC and extended-stay RV product.
Limited new supply
Entitlements for new manufactured housing communities remain rare across Midland and Ector counties, protecting in-place cash flow at existing parks.
Cycle-tested demand
Even through prior energy downturns, occupancy at well-located Permian Basin MHCs and RV parks has remained materially above national averages.

Why Midland matters
Midland sits at the heart of the most productive oil and gas basin in North America. Cyclical workforce migration, limited entitled land, and chronic housing shortages create a structural opportunity for manufactured housing communities and full-hookup RV parks serving long-term contractor stays.
