You can choose a manufacturer and they will work with a builder of your choice or have builder they have worked with in the past. 

Your handyman has a reputation to uphold so his references hopefully hold water.

If Austin doesn't go full left-wing-permissive-seattle-style and ensures those services have conditions and boundaries, so that they don't get the "Freeattle" reputation then the shelter won't draw an outsized proportion of people from all over who just want handouts,  instead it will be more likely to draw people from Austin actually looking to turn things around.   

Hi, I had a potential client reach out to me and stated that she owns a manufactured home that's in great condition, but it is on her families land (who does not want to put the land up for sale).

It's all about reputation. 

Where do I begin?

They have a great reputation down here and are investors themselves. 

Just trying to get a feel for reputation and work ethic etc.

If you want to partner with a more reputable company, send me an email.

Hi everyone, I am looking in the Greater Los Angeles area to buy my first rental property and I see a lot of Manufactured homes which are on the cheaper side.
