@Jessica WoodIf it's a standard ten-buck doorknob made by Defiant or Kwikset or Schlage or pretty much any other major American manufacturer, there's a very simple solution if you ever really do need entry, if there ever really IS an emergency.

However, manufacturing companies are the first to cut when a recession starts. 

Although I can't directly tell you what you should do, or shouldn't do, I can definitely tell you what I did: Before real estate I was working in manufacturing and I didn't like it at all.

I’ve taken all of the manufacturer trainings by Schluter and install a lot of it.

He owns Clayton Homes and 21st Mortgage, the largest manufacturer and largest financier of manufactured homes in the country, respectively.

I am considering rehabbing mobile/manufactured homes.

I've turned to treasuries as buffers in the short term (ie - TLT), yet the market will always rebound (who knows if this is full on Bear or another manufactured correction), I wouldn't abandon the market completely.

Howdy all.I have been looking at a duplex in a fairly small town (22k residents from 2010 census) but has a decent number of employers including a major auto manufacturer nearby. 

I am not a fan of that site and it's manufactured ghost bids, but I have done so much research on this property and it is a great deal.

No evidence of manufacturing in the home, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was being cut up and distributed inside the home.
