From what I have read though if you employ solar and wind power generators then you are pretty much set, because if its not sunny then its likely stormy which means more wind :)Basically the civilization systems include everything you need to live a civilized life on an island, are completely self sufficient (you could remove the generator if you didn't mind the occasional black out), and again not as expensive as one would think, especially with the "go green" attitude really coming into play now a days, you may even start to see these kinds of systems becoming available to the rural population, and as economics dictates, the more widely available something becomes, the lower the price tends to be.Just thought I would throw what I know about islands out there for everyone.

*points to corner*Now lets git on that new fangled world wide web, and do us some searchin'!

Currently mentor to over 100 nation wide students whom target local clean notes and we market them back to the buyers at discounted prices.

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.

Creedog-Ask a good question in an online forum these days and you'll get back an interesting array of responses.

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.
