"Properties listed for sale in the six months preceding the disbursement date of the new mortgage loan are limited to 70% LTV, CLTV, and HCLTV ratios (or less if mandated by the specific product, occupancy, or property type – for example, 65% for manufactured homes)." - Per FNMA guidelinesI hope this helps!

The tech industry has replaced most of the old vanguard steel makers and manufacturing companies, although some of them are still around.  

About a year or two ago, there was a case called Drake Manufacturing where a Delaware Corporation went to a trial, won a $300k judgment, but then lost it on appeal because it never registered as a foreign corporation.

Out and away in the industrial area would be great zoned for manufacturing..and possible muscle car repair.Thanks , Mike

Pros, if you find a good manufacturer they take weather exposure out of the build and really can produce a great product.

I did make a  cash offer on another mls listing last week on a  run down manufactured home on property listed at 119k I made 80k cash offer and was told that the  seller had already declined 105k cash offer.

The fridge was bough approx 5 years ago for ~$2K and unfortunately neither manufacturer nor online appliance part stores offer replacements (original or 3rd party). 

I see absolutely nothing wrong with owning a mobile/manufactured home park/community. 

@Judson Nash, sir can you confirm that you mean "Modular" and not "Manufactured" or "Mobile" homes?

Yes, we both work W2 jobs at the moment and given that mine is a specialized manufacturing type, I shouldn't have any trouble finding new employment (already have begun to search and it looks promising).
