You can do financing but I know for sure with Country Wide they want a preapproval from the mortgage broker.

However, this whole moving-the-house business is bringing up a bunch of new issues.a) We've found a lot close by that has a junker single-wide and a blown septic system.

They are the sort of people who will receive a $10K windfall and have plunked it down as a down payment on a $60K SUV and a brand new double wide, both of which will have been repossessed within a year.

The two are simply good friends who like the idea and see a way to make more money.I plan to target to a wide audience rather than the narrowed focus each company has here.

This can be really tricky because when you start getting bids, you'll have a WIDE variation in the bids.

We might even bounce (dead-cat) small for a little bit.The next BIG leg down starts in the fall where $135-140/barrel crude really starts taking it's toll and the wide-spread job losses start occuring coupled with possible reduction in mortgage purchases by the GSE's (freddie & fannie) and the fed bumping rates up a tad to support the weak dollar.

A few suggestions which I think would enhance biggerpockets (some taken from vBulletin), in no particular order:* multi-quote - the ability to select multiple posts for quoting* kudos - ability to register approval of a post, or agreement with a point, and then count these and somehow rate posters - just provides more incentive to share and try to be constructive and helpful * ability to view the forum in wide screen format (maybe you can but I can't see how - the forum text only takes up about 30% of the width of my screen)* more/better emoticons - happy to suggest some if you like ;)* also I'd like emoticons inserted where the cursor is, rather than always at the end of the text (ie if you edit and want to insert an emoticon in an earlier para, you seem to be only able to do it by cutting and pasting the emoticon, which is always inserted at the very end of the whole post)* I imagine this is related to the fact that whenever you format some text, your cursor is moved to the very end of the post; I'd rather the cursor be left where it was just prior to applying formatting (eg bold)* ability to report/hide abusive posts, to try and stop conversations degenerating into slanging matches :roll: Love the forum - thanks, Josh.

In other words, why pay to reach a 100 mile wide radius when you only focus on one tenth of that and have no realistic expectation of someone driving across town for your product/service unless it is REALLY unique.If radio covers enough territory (say at least 75% of potential customers) then use a combination.

I was also wondering, is it possible to list on a nation wide MLS?

So, I went to a curtain area where I first started selling mobile homes and the first one I bought was a double wide 2 bedrooms, 1 bath (the guy wanted out bad) so I called an investors I knew and we went half and half.
