Construction costs in the Bay Area are very high currently and the ADU rules state manufactured housing is allowed-I'm thinking that may be the cheaper option in this current market unless you know some contractors! 

Mobile home or manufactured home? 

Basically to get both heat exchangers replaced ( Labor cost only as the heat exchangers are still under the 20 year  manufacture warranty )and the broken unit up and running would be just under $2000 ($1887 to be exact) Both units are 16 years old.

Are you telling me the largest mobile home manufacturer in the country is illegally pushing their financing method? 

A couple thousand buyers, manufacturers, and distributors of building materials gathered here to network and educate themselves on various topics related to the industry.

The manufactures offer them as a major money maker for them as they know the buyers will rarely if ever need to make claims.

Since the water heater was only 4 years old, I would give the manufacturer a call to see if they will take care of the damage.

For $100 a night I can stay at one of the 12 local flagged motels like La Quinta Inns and Suites in the area opposed this unknown manufactured village.

In order for a bank to finance a manufactured home on land the home must be "permanently attached" to the ground with the axles removed and resting on blocks or on a foundation with skirting around the home.

@Patrick Mcgowen,I had permission/permits for nothing because a mobile home manufactured etc is not real estate its personal property hince the repo not foreclosure I did at least tell the park manager I will be rehabbing the mobile home.In some cases because I do a few mobile/manufactured/modular home investments I typically have the home moved to a unrestricted lot and placed on foundation which then increases value.
