Well, so would you or me, if we had the great idea, great planning, and absolute genius to do it. He risked his own money again and again and old Mr. Schwartz, his dad, was the originator, the one that started it with a partner with the manufactured homes, but Gary was the one with vision and planning and he could have given us much less. All anyone needs do is look at the décor and the quality of interior design and the furniture at any rec center.
They did it without Federal money or grants and they sold their new homes to people who paid for them entirely or only with conventional mortgages.
I am a huge fan of what they did and they could have stopped and lived with all the money they needed, but continue to build and employ a boat load of people. I love free enterprise. Go Capitalism.
Thank you Morse Family.
