I hate it so much it has ruined my perception of myself, my finances, my personality, my entire inner being, my whole life, all devastated by this abusive horrendous business. 

So according to my perception of the numbers you have too much of your money in the deal even though the ROI is about 12%.

On the day I was terminated, I remember thinking to myself, once the shock wore off (I was the 9th best performing Mgr out of aprox. 3000 at that time) that I had been foolish to count on an Employer's perception as the sole value of my wealth.I spent the next 2 months not only looking for a new job but also reinvigorating my love for real estate.

The problem you also have to overcome is seller may be motivated to sell to a qualified buyer in their perception but may not perceive you that way.

The builders of this house built two identical houses adjacent to it, the house that is higher up has a slightly obstructed oceanview however the builders/sellers have the perception that higher is better even though competing buyers all prefer the house that we have an offer accepted on.

The big thing is modular will not carry the same resale value as site built homes as there is still a huge stigma in terms of value perception.
