Pathfinder Ventures Launches Pathfinder Lifestyle Communities, a Division Focused on Land-Lease Communities to Address Housing Shortages and Housing Affordability

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2024 / Pathfinder Ventures Inc. (TSXV:RV) ("Pathfinder" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the creation of its new division, "Pathfinder Lifestyle Communities," which will focus on the acquisition and development of manufactured home communities ("MHC's"), offering a sustainable and affordable housing solution in response to the region's growing housing shortages and affordability crisis.

Pathfinder Lifestyle Communities aims to create vibrant, well-planned communities that will provide residents with high-quality, affordable homes along with resort-like amenities. By leveraging the efficiencies of manufactured housing construction in a land-lease community setting, these MHCs can be developed quickly and cost-effectively vs. traditional housing, making homeownership accessible to a broader segment of the population, especially new home buyers or those looking to downsize.

Pathfinder adds Vancouver Island MHC into the Pathfinder Lifestyles Community Portfolio

Pathfinder currently owns and operates a 10-unit MHC as part of its Parksville Camp Resort operation. The Parksville MHC has been at 100% occupancy since Pathfinder purchased the property in 2020 and has been a steady and reliable business segment for Pathfinder.

"We are very excited to introduce Pathfinder Lifestyle Communities as a key component of our growth strategy," said Joe Bleackley, CEO of Pathfinder Ventures. "We get calls weekly from customers looking to live in our RV Resorts long-term, and given the similarities in the operations, and expertise and experience in MHCs, it's a natural progression for us to focus on Lifestyle Communities, while providing solutions to high housing ownership costs."

Key Highlights of Pathfinder Lifestyle Communities:

1. Affordable Housing Solutions: By utilizing manufactured housing construction techniques, Pathfinder Lifestyle Communities can offer homes at a fraction of the cost of traditional construction, making homeownership more attainable.

2. Land-Lease Community: Where the customer owns the home, RV, or residence, but not the land the unit sits on. Instead, Pathfinder leases the land to the homeowner and provides services to the residents. Such ownership is appropriate for young first-time home buyers or those looking to downsize.

3. Stable, Attractive Asset Class: Manufactured home communities represent a stable and attractive investment opportunity, characterized by steady demand and resilient performance even during economic downturns.

4. Sustainable Development: Manufactured homes are built with precision in controlled environments, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. These communities and homes are designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

5. Community-Oriented Living: Pathfinder Lifestyle Communities are designed to create a sense of community, offering amenities and shared spaces that encourage social interaction and a high quality of life for residents.
