To add to Vikram's response: if your getting title insurance, then you should be fine all around, as down the road if anything comes up, the insurance will take care of it.Of course, I have never heard of such an instance where a claim was made on the title insurance; And we all know how fun making an insurance claim can be.To that end, I would make sure your getting title insurance through a reputable firm

Have a reputable contractor do an inspection and give you an estimate for the repairs

If an exact match is important, I'd recommend your local furniture repairman, a reputable one can match the color/staining dead on 99 out of 100 times.

This is because R-22 units are no longer being manufactured as of this year due to EPA reasons.

If you have a need then you could check the 'vendor' list for someone to help you with the premise this person has proven reputable by their past dealings.

Be careful when you look, because you want the unit to be UL-rated for that, not just manufacturer rated (with lower UL-rating).

If it has a great reputation and has prospects for continuing to increase its client base, it may have a premium over existing income.

Another important point, the manufacture was out of business which is common for older MHs.

A couple friends of mine are interested in signing up with a guy named Jeff Kaller but I haven't seen any positive reputable reviews (i.e. someone with more than 1 post).Are we better off by ourselves trying to network with people at the local REIA?

If you include financing and inspection contingencies, you can get out if something happens on either of those, though.Since you're dealing directly with the listing agents, you want to try to build a strong reputation with those agents.
