Middle Tennessee · Since 2016
Owned.
Entrust buys, improves and manages residential property across Middle Tennessee: manufactured homes, single-family houses and small multifamily, in Nashville, Franklin, Clarksville and Columbia. What goes into our own portfolio and what we bring to investors clears the same underwriting, and that underwriting is published rather than described.
Our mission
Our mission is to inspire our partners to believe more, equip them to invest strategically, and empower them to live free.
Improve & add value
We renovate homes, build new homes, entitle and develop raw land, and add rental units to our current holdings and those of our clients.
Educate & empower
We coach and consult others in real estate investing, so our clients can make decisions with the same information we use ourselves.
Manufactured housing
Manufactured housing is the largest source of unsubsidised affordable housing in the United States, and in Middle Tennessee it is most of what the market is not building. New construction here is aimed further up the price ladder every year, which leaves the households that keep the region running to compete for a housing stock that is not growing.
Supply is close to fixed for a structural reason rather than a cyclical one. New communities are rarely permitted and rarely built, so what exists is broadly what will exist. That is unusual in residential real estate, and it is why the asset behaves differently from a rental house in the same submarket.
It also carries an obligation that the name obscures. A manufactured home is not practically movable once it is sited: relocating one costs more than many residents have, and often more than the home is worth. A resident who owns their home and rents the ground beneath it cannot vote with their feet the way a tenant in an apartment can.
That asymmetry is exactly why the category has the reputation it has, and it is the part Entrust takes seriously. A community is bought to be operated, not to be squeezed. Rent is set against what the market and the improvements actually support, residents are told about a change before it happens, and the standard applied is the one Entrust would accept as the resident.
