Mobile home remodel

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone can guide me on remodeling/repairing a mobile home on a property I purchased.  It is a single wide about 700 SQ feet, 2 bad/1bath unit, it does need everything redone, exterior/interior/roof etc.. complete remodel, is it worth it? I would do most of the work with my dad.

Thank you

Replied

@Eric Oszczypala If you have pics, it may help so that others can give you some tips. For starters, check the infrastructure and main systems in the home such as roof, heating and air conditioning system, hot water heater, electricity and plumbing. These items may be costly, so it's best to estimate the costs to repair and/or replace these items both labor and materials. 

Regarding remodeling mobile homes, it really depends on each individual investor and how much work they're willing to do. There are some who have tackled full remodels while others plan to only do cosmetic work. In the end, it depends on you and how much time and money you're willing to spend on the project. 

Hope that helps! 

This remodel would be full blown gut, everything needs to be replaced, heating, cooling, floors, walls, windows, doors, roof etc...I would be doing all the labor, just trying to figure out if its worth it versus buying a new single wide mobile home which could cost anywhere from 60k+..
