Hi All,Can a I manufacture/mobile home be converted to a stick built?

And if you do buy, make sure the seller executes all the warranty transfer forms from the builder and manufacturers so that you are covered for by the warranties that are still in effect (structural, roof, windows, HVAC, etc.).Best of luck,Bob

If it's not a manufactured or mobile home then later on down the road you can get an equity loan for it.  

Before I start, I have not figured out how to @ (mention) someone, I'll take some instruction for that part as well...Thank you Chris for the suggestions on finding contractors.  

The seller is, in California at least, required to present the written offer barring other instructions from the seller such as "do not even bother showing me lowball offers."

You are not allowed to use arrest records to determine a rental applicant’s qualifications.According to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development: Arrests records are not a valid reason to deny a rental applicant housing.Convicted criminals may be denied housing if the reason for their convictions clearly demonstrates that the safety of your residents and/or property are at risk.Blanket terms in your screening criteria that say “Any criminal convictions will be denied” are now considered discriminatory and in violation of the Fair Housing Act.If you deny a rental applicant due to information found on a public record (like a criminal background report or eviction search) you need to provide the applicant with a denial letter and instructions on how they can obtain a copy of the report.

Been flying for 16 years, just never did anything with it outside of instructing.

section 13/14 take care of what you have to do. 13 basically says you have to pay like 75% of their gross income x remaining months of the original contract and any options (2x7 yr options).14 tells you how to opt out of the options by sending a notice (gives you the time frames and instructions for how to submit notice).
