I've been strategizing with my buyers to ask for seller credits to go towards a temporary rate buydown (2-1 buydown).

(a)Subject to lawful compliance with this Code, a manufactured home may be placed, or permitted to remain within the city, if and only if, it is situated:(1)In a manufactured home park which the operator is licensed to operate pursuant to article III of this chapter;(2)In a duly platted and recorded manufactured home subdivision that meets all requirements of article IV of this chapter;(3)In a manufactured home sales lot;(4)Upon a site that the manufactured home has continuously occupied since March 1, 1972, provided that the occupation was lawful on that date, and further provided that the continued occupation thereof does not pose a significant danger to the health or safety of persons within the manufactured home or to others;(5)Upon a site that the manufactured home occupied prior to annexation of the site by the city, provided that the manufactured home has continuously occupied the site since the date the site was annexed, and further provided that the continued occupation thereof does not pose a significant danger to the health or safety of persons within the manufactured home or to others;(6)Upon a site for which a hardship permit is in effect pursuant to division 2 of this article; or(7)Upon a temporary site authorized by the director for disaster assistance organizations used as authorized insection 29-18 of this Code.Provided that no manufactured home may be situated or permitted to remain in any place in violation of any valid and applicable deed restriction or covenant running with the land, or on any site within Districts of Limitations One and Two as those districts are defined in the Fire Code.

So I will likely have to cover at least one mortgage payment, maybe two, due to the time it will take to prep the home and find a tenant.Overall, the home currently does not pay for itself, likely won’t next year when the lease comes up, I will likely have to cover the mortgage for at least 1 month to get it re-leased, I’ll have to pay about $1200 to the agent to lease it, I won’t generate true cash flow, and the AC just went out so I am looking at a temporary fix until next year or replacing the whole thing now for about $4,600.

Spend a little money on a temporary fix to give yourself some time to look deeper into your roof problem, get better quotes from reputable contractors or simply think of other options you may have.

On the buy side we are seeing people who are in it for the long-haul still buying when they see a good deal...Rates are temporary, good deals are not. 

Hi Danielle,If you like the apartment and the management is decent, I'd say ride it out--it's temporary and not worth the hassle of moving out.A text to the manager asking how much longer the construction noise is going to last might be good idea. 

Temporary for 4-6 years.
