Challenges Ahead
- Total Real Property NOI growth is 5.8% - 6.4%, 80 basis points lower at the midpoint of guidance for 2024, primarily reflecting the property dispositions and the resultant loss of income from those properties.
- Reducing Same Property NOI growth to a range of (0.7%) – 0.9% for RV.
- Reducing Same Property NOI to a range of 6.2% – 7.2% for Marinas.
- Lowering full year UK home sales FFO contribution by $850,000 or approximately 1.5% at the midpoint to reflect updated expectations.
