@Zach Gallagher @Tia Ricketts can you share your contact please i am in need

Best thing to do is ask who you bought it from, or call local modular home dealers for referrals. Usually when you buy locally anyway they arrange for all of this to be done for you. Average cost where we are now is like $5000 for set up, and you may not need a full foundation depending on the manufacturer requirements and what the lender requires.

I just built a new three-bedroom two, two-bath Module home on a lake in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, in October 2023. The area has a lot of attractions and good schools. I’ve had the property listed for three months with some interest but no offers. I have an unfinished basement with 8-foot ceilings. I am contemplating removing the listing and finishing the basement to add two bedrooms and one bath, making it a five-bedroom three bath, and putting the listing back on the market. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to reach out to any mason or foundation contractor for this. I assume you have the foundation permit/plan and can provide that to them to bid, so you just need to send it over and have them provide SOW and pricing. 

I have a pretty reliable Masonry that I use I can send over his information.  I've personally used him on a couple of my flips and have had client's use him as well. Will send over a message now. Thanks Tia. 

 prefab is pretty bad with very limited options and you still need to do the site work. Pitt is only 3 hours from columbus, I sent you a request I'd be happy to take a look at the situation and see if I can help 

I haven't done a lot of this on the investment side but I have done a lot of this on the real estate broker side. I will say that on average you get 20-30% lower rents than market rent and 25-40% lower resale prices with a prefab. I just dont think it's a great investment strategy. I would recommend either a local builder who can work with you on the cost or amish build depending on where it's located. If you need any help I can surely try but I personally would stay away from prefab as an investment option.
