The other is a foreclosed manufactured home on 3 acres I could get cheap I think & rent.

With a manufactured home, for flip purposes, would you go with laminate or hard wood? 

I put 8 smoke alarms in my single-family rental - Lowe's sold a 6-pack of the model I used, and then I bought two more of the same model individually.Also note that if wired detectors are required, they may not all have to be exactly the same model, but they do probably all need to be from the same manufacturer. 

Became an immigrant 4 years ago... spent 2 years in Forest Grove, Oregon and moved here in Dallas a year and a half ago for a job. 17 years experience in electronics manufacturing but zero experience in real estate.

I've tried close to 20 others, even our small town local banks but they no longer would consider pre '76 manufactured homes whereas Becky and First Union were willing.Good luck

As this is my first manufactured purchase, I'm curious whether purchasing manufactured home requires HUD settlement for closing? 

Great working class industrial/manufacturing/retail employers throughout southern Chesterfield and tri-cities as well as Virginia State U, Fort Lee.

An appraisal or current lease must be submitted when the funds are reservedSome manufactured housing is eligible for Welcome Home assistance.

Over the past number of years I make it a point to reach out yearly to each state's manufactured housing division or title transfer bureau to double-check I'm familiar with the local laws and title procedures. 

If your going to put another mobile home or manufactured home on the property you will need another big stack of cash shortly after closing to do this.
