The work was done after we closed because the contractor was not able to get to it for several months.

Can he do electric, plumbing etc?

Basically my ex contractor forged deeds to homes I owned in NJ and applied for the SOTO program with NY to place tenants in those properties.

In that case, price out one week (or however long your contractor promises) at a local moderately priced hotel.

It was suggested by a contractor.

I like modular home because of relatively shorter and firmer timeline and fixed budget where contractors don’t hold you for ransom but this works only if you know the design that is going to work.  

Make sure that electric, water and gas is on before inspection and still good inspector can tell you about overall condition of the house.

Will have MLS access and already network with some good contractors.  

Researching a property manager or contractor?

I have lined up a electrician and a contractor to walk through the property.
