I've been searching through craigslist and there are tons of manufactured and mobile homes that are for FSBO's.

Any recommendations as to manufacturers?

Their paint is of average quality and most painters suggest better quality manufactures by paint stores. 

Therefore, I'm going to provide sheets of general move in information that includes the paint color, sheen and manufacturer or maybe just leave a can for them and let them know that they can touch up if it is bothering them.

Furthermore, other affiliated chemical manufacturing is enjoying the lower feed stock prices as well.The RE market might soften somewhat, but I seriously doubt the bottom is about to fall out.

I am a contractor and licensed manufactured home dealer.1976 is the date most localities will stop allowing a home to be "permitted".

Maybe we'll see some slowdown in the loss of manufacturing jobs . . . although thanks to them, we pretty much produce nothing anymore.
