Hi Stephanie- I know of an off market mobile / manufactured home for sale right now in Sacramento.  It's very similar to what you're looking for, although it's in the south Sacramento area.  I saw it last weekend, and although I didn't see much value from an investor's perspective, it may be a good option for your mom.  It's also in the same price range that you mentioned, with all appliances included!  Send me a private message if you're interested in hearing more about it, and I can certainly put you in contact with the seller. 

Congrats on finding and hopefully buying this off market deal Elliott. Based on your recent posts it looks like you've been putting in a lot of work perfecting your direct mail skills. Is that how you found this deal? I'm glad to see your efforts are paying off.

First of all thanks so much for the offer to help everyone with their plumbing questions! I've installed several 1/2" angle stop valves onto 1/2" threaded galvanized pipe in my kitchen. The valves are the $8 valves from Home Depot that come in a yellow box. No matter what I do, most of the time they leak just slightly where the end of the valve meets the galvanized pipe. I've tried tightening them a lot, tightening just past hand tight, and everything in between. I've also tried anywhere from 3 - 12 wraps of Teflon tape. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Is there a better valve out there that I could try? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please hold a spot for me as well!  I'm excited to meet all of you.
