Ownership Model
Land appreciates.
Structure depreciates.
Finance them differently.
The conventional mortgage bundles two assets with opposite financial characteristics into one 30-year debt instrument at the same rate. Anyplace separates them — and that separation saves the average household more than $300,000 over the life of their home.
The conventional trap
When you buy a $420,000 home, approximately 60% of that value is land — an asset that appreciates. The remaining 40% is structure — an asset that depreciates. A conventional mortgage finances both at the same 30-year rate. You pay the same interest on the land (which grows in value) as on the structure (which loses it). The bank collects regardless. You pay $891,574 for a $420,000 asset.

The land/structure separation
Anyplace inverts the conventional model by treating land and structure as what they actually are — two different asset classes requiring two different financial instruments.
The land is mortgaged conventionally, secured against a genuine appreciating asset, at real estate rates, over the appropriate term. This is the generational wealth vehicle. It is passed to children. It performs exactly as land does.
The module is financed as personal property — a chattel loan, shorter term, at a rate appropriate to a manufactured asset with a known depreciation curve. The module is paid off in 15 years. After that, the household's housing cost drops to land costs only. The land continues to appreciate. When the module reaches end of life, 98% of its 1,983kg aluminum mass is recovered at current commodity value — a hard floor the lender can underwrite against.
The chattel collateral breakthrough
Chattel loans for manufactured homes have historically carried higher risk because end-of-life collateral was near zero. An Anyplace module has a validated, independently measured 98% material recovery rate. At current aluminum prices, 1,983kg per module represents a real, documented floor value on the lender's collateral position. This is structurally different from every other manufactured housing product — and it means lower lender risk, lower rates, and broader financing eligibility for households that have historically been excluded.
The kitchen mortgage trap
Most households don't think about what their kitchen actually costs them. In a conventional home, a $5,000 kitchen renovation added to a 25-year mortgage at 6.37% costs $10,900 in total payments — more than double. That kitchen has a functional lifespan of 10–15 years. It is then torn out, sent to landfill, and replaced — financed at mortgage rates again.

The manufactured housing trap — and why Anyplace avoids it
The manufactured housing industry has historically trapped owners in the opposite problem: owning a depreciating asset (the home) on land they don't own, with lot rent rising annually. The park operator owns the appreciating asset. The owner builds equity in the wrong one. They cannot move the home economically. They are captive.
Anyplace inverts both traps simultaneously. The module is financed against an asset with a documented end-of-life recovery floor — so the lender's collateral position is real. The land is separately owned or separately financed — so the household owns the correct asset on each instrument. Neither trap applies.
Not available yet — but close
The first US Anyplace production run is being planned now with Hydro North America under a signed Technical and Economic Discovery Agreement (February 2026). Chattel financing partnerships with US community banks and credit unions are part of the first deployment framework. If you want to be among the first to know — register your interest below.
