Quote from @Matthew McKiddie: We just had a local company speak at one of our meetups about how they do manufactured housing.

Bill, It would depend who your carrier is, as they each have their own models from each manufacturer.

I'm sure when flipping manufacturing homes, comping, and doing your diligence, they all follow the same basic formula.

In MA you can pick which company provides the source of power, nationalgrid provides the infrastructure to get it to your house.I looked for the best quality panel, where it was manufactured and how it is installed to the roof.Since I had the solar installed I have not paid a electrical bill and the SRECs I receive for producing power pays for my heating bill. 

. $33,000 - lot purchase price$6,000 - 2010 3 bed 2 bath manufactured home$3,000 - transportation $11,000 - set up costs (includes running city utilities to the home, decking, skirting, foundation)$6,000 - repair costs$5,000 - misc$64,000 all inRecent comps show we can sell for $140,000. 

All are employed at a local manufacturer, one is on staff and with documented income, but the others working through a staffing agency which deposits pay to a debit card and produces no pay statements and will not answer specifics about pay (cannot verify income).

I think you are losing sleep over this, considering you spent the time to find out when it was manufactured.

The shipping cost also makes it less viable for us, but if you were located closer to a manufacturer, you could have a lot of fun with this one.The bamboo countertop looks amazing, but you really need the right decor to pull it off.  

New Englands economy is extremely diversified, which means it has and will likely continue to fair better in a recession as opposed to other regions that focus exclusively on gambling or tourism or manufacturing.

Was paying rent for my manufacturing company.
