I have some experience dealing with Chinese manufacturers, and they're fairly easy to swindle their prices down to nothing, since all they really care about it making the sale.

I woke up with both guns blazing when I understood how and why the wealthy create more time, manufacture time and work on the operation producing them multiple flows of passive income. 

The best way to answer your "Systems question" is to encourage you to do what works best for you.The goal of a system is to automate the process so that it manufactures a desired result.

Look into the ad budgets of companies like Procter and Gamble, Car Manufactures, Cell Phone Companies, or Insurance Agencies.

From a purely practical point of view there would be interest in home ownership even at the reduced income caused by the departure of manufacturing jobs, but the banking industry is not interested in making these loans.There would be a lot less need for low income housing financed in some cases with tax payer money if these properties were marketable to the retail buyer.

The prices have dropped significantly in the last few years and we have some local manufacturers.

I also think people aren't used to seeing them unless they are cheap because they have a stigma like manufactured homes.

The typed ones look a bit too... officious, as if they were just manufactured by a marketing company (which they are). 

Sometumes you just have to shim them.I cant say the toilet manufacturer and plumbers are wrong.

I have one house under Allstate Landlords Policy and four manufactured homes under Foremost.
