I have a double wide manufactured home in the Seattle are on land that I own.

Opinions vary widely on this on BP - take my opinion with a grain of salt!

Its best to look at all angles.

I've been searching for a while now and I've been finding widely varying rates from lenders.

You could be sitting there telling yourself, “Heck I'll just install CO detectors” but what happens when the tenant removes the battery and do you really want to trust a cheap gadget with wide operating tolerances that may or may not alert someone in time?

Dynamic soil problems (clay on schist, etc.) have historically only been stabilized with expensive pylons or other mechanical methods, although advances in geo-textiles and other high tech engineered solutions are becoming more widely used and available.A problem purely related to a foundation, such as a cracked slab, can be identified and the remedy and its cost/risk estimated fairly closely and kept within budget.Many years ago I sued (and won) a large tract home builder and their grading engineering firm.

I found this site and loved it, so here I am venturing into what up to this point in my life is unknown territory, a profile on the world wide web.

Mine is BIG, runs the entire side of the house (12' wide by 36' long) and the fiberglass sheeting is perished, so something must be done.

. - If the loan was with a large bank (nation-wide or regional), you will probably get nowhere with them.

If it was a single wide in good condtion it would be worth something but like Bryan said the cost of moving setup on a 27 year old double wide isn't feasible, in my area anyway.
