Idid a prelim estimate of 40 K but the hazard wast threw me off guard and not sure what will come out if the walls are broken .

I am planning on buying more weapons soon James, maybe with some great deals I can buy body guards for my girls.

You cannot buy a family member's or friend's property in a short sale, which is a legality set up to guard against fraud.Now if you meant instead that your parents have a contract on a short sale property that you'd like to take over/buy from them, that could be a different animal ... though I still don't think you'd be allowed to do it.And loans from private lenders are typically much shorter terms, nowhere near 30 years.

My experience is the market for mobiles is somewhat limited to 2 demographics:1. people who have lived in mobile homes their entire life2. old people who are moving into a mobile home retirement park - you know, the ones with club houses pools, security guards, social halls  (I believe these to be one of the best places to invest - if you can find one that allows rentals)Sorry for not having a real great conclusion to this post - but hopefully this helps a little bit.

I'm always looking for value-add multi-family opportunities; and I've loved the Charleston area since being stationed there in the Coast Guard.

I started with nothing but a life guarding job at the YMCA and a desire to succeed in my passion.

I currently work as the Occupational Health Nurse for the VT Army National Guard.

I digress.On a more serious note: I'm a veteran of the US Coast Guard, a graduate of UC Irvine, a ton of internet marketing experience (SEO, user experience modification, adwords, etc), and I'm looking to provide a helping hand to an investor.

we have always delivered the first round of materials, then a second round at the midpoint (which should be everything they need except for last minute forgotten or unexpected items) but I won’t be there to “guard” the materials. 

Sorry for your loss and please be on guard during this fragile time.
