Back in my day, it was metal bunkbeds.

A manufactured home typically has a metal eye-beam frame system that it is built on for shipping and it stays with the home forever.

This property met all of our investment requirements so we made an offer and after several rounds of negotiating we had the property under contract. 3) I would still do that deal today.

Hi E'an Bodily,Welcome to BiggerPockets!

Even on a level that is all bedrooms, a smoke alarm is required in the hallway in addition to all of the bedrooms.Originally posted by Jeff Sielicky:...Checking dryer vents, replacing plastic with metal....Replacing plastic with metal is a good start.

Are they metal/metal trailers?

I find these homes all the time, rip the siding off and stucco the home.I do also agree that the most important factor is the curb appeal which would mean changing the old wood frame or metal frame windows, in doing so, you will have to stucco the home anyways unless you use retrofit pop-ins which I do not recommend, and all the other things mentioned - landscaping, nice looking color combinations, etc.So, is stucco convenient?

The temperature differential in the winter is such that cold nail shanks (because the metal of the nail is considered a good conductor of temperature) inside the attic are colder than the poorly ventilated attic space, so the moisture in the attic air condenses on the tips of the nail shanks.

They have sheet metal, electrical, and plumbing experience.

This is a good thing.I'd explain to the listing agent that you aren't signing and aren't turning over a penny until you have, IN WRITING, either a price reduction/credit or a guarantee that the repairs will be completed prior to closing at seller's expense in a workmanlike manner.I give it a 50/50 for which way HUD will go.Incidentally, I've been dealing with metals theft frequently.
