I have contacts in my investing group who are connected to manufacturers of modular homes - not "manufactured" (trailers), modular: homes are stick-built in pieces in a factory, the pieces are shipped to the home site on flat bed trucks and assembled onto the foundation.

No manufactured housing."

I'm just looking for some experiences with basically condemned buildings, which are either brought back to life or perhaps replaced with a manufactured duplex or similar?  

Is it a HUD Manufactured Home or a MOD?

Sheet goods and carpet come in predetermined widths (10, 11, 12 ft depending on product / manufacturer).

It's a quality lower-middle class city, that still retains a relatively large tax base, with Lincoln Electric headquarters (a fortune 500 company), among other large manufacturing plants.  

Locally we just had a large manufacturing employer have their value decreased  by 10mil.

Got a HELOC dropped a manufactured home on some land sold for 50,000 profit net and doing it again.

I work in the Automotive sector for a leading premium German car manufacturer and am fortunate that I can also say that it's also my hobby.

Each manufacture has a few models specific for kitchen use.
