Part of this is that most municipalities don't differentiate them from manufactured homes (trailers).

So it is a downward spiral of confusion and anger for some of these sellers.In short there is little help we can offer as investors to sellers that were oversold on manufactured homes and paid such high prices for these homes.

How to Find, Buy, Manage and Sell a Manufactured Home Community by George Allen is a little dated but a good place to start as far as books go. 

Pay him the contracted price, split the overage, and get a written warranty from the manufacturer regardless of what product you finally use.

My typical guest is the guy who sold his house and has nowhere to go for 40 days or the guy who's installing a new production line at a local manufacturer and will be on site for 6 weeks and prefers a house over a hotel room or the lady whose kitchen caught fire and the insurance company is putting them up in a house for a month while the repairs are completed.

That's when started to investigate manufactured homes.  

So your income isincome = $1500 - $0 + (-$1000) = $500.While the scale may be different, rehabbing is no different than any other manufacturing business.

I've noticed a few companies are building manufacturing type jobs in the MS/East TN area and I'm thinking of looking at this area for an OOS SF LTR unit.

@Derek Lacy Do manufactured homes quality for the group coverage you are referring to?

We also have another little flip we're doing in La Pine, it's a manufactured home.
