PALMETTO AREA · CO-OP SHARE FINANCING
Co-op share financing for Palmetto manufactured home communities
The Palmetto area has two established 55+ manufactured-home cooperatives — one on Terra Ceia Bay with Gulf access, one on a lakefront site off US-41. Buying in either one means buying a co-op share, not a standard mortgage. That’s what we specialize in.

THE PALMETTO MARKET
Co-op and resident-owned communities in the Palmetto area
The Palmetto area in Manatee County holds two established 55+ manufactured-home cooperatives, where residents collectively own the community rather than renting a lot. One fronts Terra Ceia Bay with marina access and 2½ miles of waterfront; the other sits on a lakefront site just off US-41.
Buying a home in either one means buying into that cooperative — and that cooperative structure is why these purchases need a co-op share loan rather than a conventional mortgage. Atlantic Mortgage specializes in Florida resident-owned community share loans — a program most lenders don’t offer at all.
