It doesn't really look much more appealing than say, a manufactured/mobile home plonked on the same plot. 

We attracted good tenants but it took twice as long due to them being manufactured.  

@Leanne Huynh - I think you sent me a pm and I replied to that @Scott Schultz  the house is a manufactured  (mobile) in Colorado and no - I don't have much/any income on my 1040; kinda living off retirement/investments for now. 

They told us they will have it 6+ months to fix the issue as it is a manufacture defect and needs replaced .My question is this, can i do anything tax related because of the loss now?

I toured their factory with the local chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and was very impressed.

That’s followed by a $12.5-million new manufacturing facility being built in Rosati’s Grand Central Business Park at 4141 Plymouth Dr., and by a $8.3-million 60-unit residential building on Banwell Road.

As @David Dachtera mentioned modular and manufactured homes are completely different.

@Brett Spence You may want to check with your local manufactured housing association.

Or open a steel manufacturing plant if you had enough money?

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties.
