|
|
|
|
impact of government intervention to stabilize site-built single family housing and not

effective integration and successful realization of cost savings; |
|
|
|
|
ability to obtain financing or refinance existing debt on favorable terms or at all; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of interest rates; |
