Hello there, feel free to comment below or send me a direct message with your information regarding rates, cost, and turnaround times.

The appraisers I've seen at work always measure the exterior of the finished building, i.e. the outside of the stucco or brick...Maybe someone else measured the interior rooms as @Chris Seveney said, and now you have 2 numbers floating around.It actually could be in your favor if you can get the seller to use the same square footage number and apply it to the smaller SF.... :-)

I've sent my contact information in a direct message

I contacted the city of Edmonton and was informed that moving a mobile home is treated the same as building a new home, and all the following applies:Development Permit ApplicationCombined Building, Mechanical PermitBuilding & Mech Safety CodesWiring Electrical PermitUnderground Service Cable PermitElectrical Safety CodesConstruction Water Rates 44¢/$1000 Construction Value Sanitary Sewer Trunk ChargeLot Grading FeeTo my knowledge, unlike a new home, all we would be doing is reconnecting the infrastructure, and considering that no modifications are to be made to the existing plumbing, electrical, sewer or the lot itself, so do all those permits apply? 

Remember, the title is placed into a trust, and administered by the trustee at the direction from and for the benefit of the beneficiaries. 

The two units are empty because he had a direct marketing mailer sent to him about buying it.

This exclusion does not apply to investment property. 8)

It does not require the seller to pay it, nor does it require the buyer pay it directly.

I send out direct mail to probate properties so my list is manageable in the range 500 to 800. 

@Tara Unruh one of the first things want to educate yourselves on is Property Classes.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.
