But why, how on Earth can they do that?

If a person can purchase a SFR for close to the same as they could an MH why on Earth would they choose the MH?

Or, when a friend takes you aside from the masses and whispers in your ear the name and information of somebody they trust, does that stick with you a little better?

The place of the water manifold was in the worse place on earth (no way to get to it without ripping out a tiled bath/shower unit) resulting in a complete cold water plumbing replacement (Rerunning all new cold water lines was cheaper than ripping out the shower or jack hammering the foundation to repair). 

Let me put it this way, if I had a rental (or a seller financed deal) that was going to run you $1,000 MORE than your present rent, and you had no savings, there is no way on this earth I would rent or sell to you.

I am finding that you have to be careful with the properties that are on Craigslist.  2 of the properties I found, the sellers of the properties were not the sellers and they suddenly disappeared (off the face of this earth) when we went to see the properties.  

Perhaps you can find a distressed coop that will let you buy in, but then you need to ask yourself why on earth you would buy into a distressed coop?

Help increase Gods Kingdom on Earth and give my family the head start that I never got.

Have them assess and provide solutions.Unfortunately, because subsidence is so common and affects just about every structure on earth, it's a very common exclusion found in your property policy. 

As I am out of state I will be looking at a deal which by its nature won't be earth shattering because I don't (yet) have the time to buy a lower end house and spend some cash on it, I want a good deal that will rent for a fair return.
