@Lou Ruggieri,alternative thinking:-clean basement floor to perfection-waterproof membrane/ couple layers of exterior grade paint (encapsulate any asbestos dust)-exterior grade carpet : because you are up north/cold floors; if flooded, can be taken out, disinfected and hosed out, dried out, replace backalternative thinkhing2:-clean basement floor to perfection-waterproof membrane/ couple layers of exterior grade paint (encapsulate any asbestos dust)-treated 1x1 (as "ribs"/"joists")-lay exterior grade plywood/ost on top of it-floating floor on top of that: preferred here is Allure LVP from home depot, but many available from reputable manufacturers; probably floor needs to be rated for under grade/basementsortile everything and provide rugs + non-slip underpads

Not to argue or contradict @Ken Rishel as I respect his knowledge, expertise, experience and obvious success in the MH Industry, however, one thing I've personally experienced over the years as a General and Manufactured Contractor, Manufactured Home Dealer, Real Estate Broker, Developer, investor and property manager (my own portfolio) is that in park sales personnel, be they the manager or an in park sales dept., is that it can be construed as somewhat of a conflict of interest to residents wanting to sell their homes if they feel they are obliged to list their home with an in park employee vs a RE professional or MH dealer of their choice.There are a few MHC's in my neck of the woods who have done and some that still do this and the homeowners/tenants really resent it and often opt seek their own representation.
