Borrowing Arrangements	Borrowing Arrangements With the adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15, we reclassified deferred financing costs to mortgage notes payable in the amount of $18.9 million as of December 31, 2015. In addition, we reclassified deferred financing costs to term loan in the amount of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2015. Also, we reclassified deferred financing costs related to our unsecured line of credit to Escrow deposits, goodwill, and other assets, net in the amount of $3.7 million as of December 31, 2015. Mortgage Notes Payable As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had outstanding mortgage indebtedness of approximately $1.9 billion, excluding deferred financing costs. The weighted average interest rate, including the impact of premium/discount amortization and loan cost amortization on this mortgage indebtedness, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately 4.9% per annum. The debt bears interest at stated rates ranging from 3.5% to 8.9% per annum and matures on various dates ranging from 2016 to 2040. The debt encumbered a total of 126 and 127 of our Properties as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and the carrying value of such Properties was approximately $2.3 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, as of such dates. In connection with the Forest Lake Estates acquisition, we assumed approximately $22.6 million of mortgage debt secured by the manufactured home community, with a stated interest rate of 4.51% per annum, which is set to mature in 2038. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we paid off two maturing mortgage loans of approximately $13.1 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.53% per annum, secured by two manufactured home Properties. On July 1, 2016, we paid off two maturing mortgage loans of approximately $23.9 million in the aggregate, with weighted average interest rate of 5.99%, secured by one RV resort and one manufactured home Property. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we closed on loans with total gross proceeds of $395.3 million. The loans have a weighted average maturity of 21 years, carry a weighted average interest rate of 3.93% per annum and were secured by 26 manufactured home Properties and RV resorts. Proceeds from the financings were used to retire by defeasance and prepayment approximately $370.2 million of loans maturing at various times throughout 2015 and 2016, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.58% per annum, which were secured by 32 manufactured home Properties and RV resorts. We incurred approximately $17.0 million in early debt retirement expense related to these loans. Term Loan As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our $200.0 million unsecured Term Loan (the “Term Loan”) matures on January 10, 2020 and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95% per annum and, subject to certain conditions, may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. The spread over LIBOR is variable quarterly based on leverage measured quarterly throughout the loan term. The Term Loan contains customary representations, warranties, and negative and affirmative covenants, and provides for acceleration of principal and payment of all other amounts payable thereunder upon the occurrence of certain events of default. In connection with the Term Loan, we also entered into a three year LIBOR Swap Agreement (the “2014 Swap”) allowing us to trade the variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate on the Term Loan (See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the accounting for the 2014 Swap). Unsecured Line of Credit As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our unsecured Line of Credit (“LOC”) had a borrowing capacity of $400.0 million, with the option to increase the borrowing capacity by $100.0 million, subject to certain conditions, with no amounts outstanding as of those dates. The LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.20% to 1.65%, requires an annual facility fee of 0.20% to 0.35% and matures on July 17, 2018, with an option to extend for one additional year, subject to certain conditions. The spread over LIBOR is variable quarterly based on leverage throughout the loan term. As of June 30, 2016, we are in compliance in all material respects with the covenants in our borrowing arrangements.
