The best flooring for a rental basement would be indoor- outdoor carpet that is very cheap.

Living in NH with the weather, all the fishing and other outdoor activities I do hauling gear, my Yukon works perfect.

We're in a part of CA where the weather is pretty much always good enough to be outdoors, and it only rains a few days out of the year.

When it comes to the comparison of manufactured homes and site-built homes, they both use the same building materials in the construction phases and the cost is lower, the difference is that the manufactured home is built in a controlled factory environement where quality of construction is invariably superior to what can be done outdoors.

We have a good-sized, fenced back yard with a covered and sheltered patio that would theoretically be a good place to keep an outdoor pet. 

I believe building code states that you need to provide heat to keep temperatures 68 degrees 3 ft from the floor.

@Tuline MaDepending on the sound, it could be the house expanding and contracting as the house heats/cools with the daytime/nighttime temperatures.

We have had some drops in temperatures which always allows for possible pipes to be frozen, but nothing too extreme.  

I have a passion for surf, the outdoors, hospitality and real estate.

Verify vent duct is unobstructed and sealed (and venting to the outdoors).Take humidity (and odor) control out of the hands of the tenant by installing a humidity and motion sensing switch (retrofit) or a humidity and motion sensing vent fan when time for replacement.
