Be it a single wide or a multi section MH there is always quite a bit of preparation preparing a floor for shipment and installing it on the other side.Additionally, what a lot of newbies don't know is that MH's develop their own characteristics (personalities) after sitting and settling in one spot for a long time and do not always just sit on a new pad or fit (marry) naturally back together whence reset.

Cash is king in these situations,go with that.No bank is gonna give money in an unknown situation so if you don't have access to the inside of the property for appraisal and approval,you won't get a penny of financing unless you convince hard money lenders to take the gamble with you.You might want to line up some cash investment partners to help with the gap funding if you can't get your $34,000 less offer accepted.Good luck in your endeavor.

Most people got burned in the market crash, me included, because they were gambling with market appreciation.
