Minimum amount of repairs to complete on MH before selling

Hi,

I am struggling with deciding on how much in repairs I should complete before selling my mobile home. On my last home I fixed all the floor damage and re-carpeted the floors in three rooms. I spent around $800 doing this. I had a bunch of people wanting to purchase the home so I felt that I could of gotten away with doing less.

I plan that half or more of the people I sell the home too will move out before the CFD completes so I want to make the small repairs now that will prevent the MH from suffering expensive repairs if ignored.

I think from now on I am going to focus on fixing floors where there are holes and soft spots, use killz and cheaply re-seal the roof to prevent leaks, and make sure that the plumbing doesn't leak. Does this sound like a good plan or am I missing other repairs that I should do too.

What do you guys do in repairs before trying to sell the mobile home?
