A home in my area I was looking at, any comments on repairs I may have missed are appreciated. 1999 16 x 80 3 bed 2 bath.
1. No A/C Unit (Not necessary to put in, could let owner can do it)
2. Hot water heater not connected, and probably needs replaced.
3. No washer/dryer (again owner could do it)
4. No stove (again owner)
5. No refrigerator (owner)
6. Skirting on home (owner will end up paying for it, I'd have to front it though per the park)
7. Drywall work is obvious (I'll do)
8. Floor in master bedroom was kind of weak, if you look at the pictures, there was a square patch of carpet that looks like had been cut up.
9. Carpet throughout has to be replaced (I'll do)
10. Behind the back of the bedroom door, it looks like someone's stolen the breaker box, hopefully that's all thats missing, but I can't tell.
11. There's no wheels, which since the place has to be moved, is something I'd have to do.
12. One cabinet needs to be replaced but the piece is in the kitchen.
13. CLEAN the walls, it's been vacant for a while and it's gotten really really dusty/dirty from a window that's been open.
Now it has to be moved like I said, but the place I'd be moving it to is an A+ park. I've actually called about four homes that were for sale in the park and they've all sold in about 3 weeks for all cash. The cheapest one I've heard of selling there was for $15k cash, the most expensive was for $28k. (Both the 15 and the 28 were 3/2's singlewides) The park is paying $1,200 for the move, underpinning, etc. the rest I cover.
The home is listed at 9k and the seller is very very motivated.
