Thats why I say you really need to look at the existing listings to get a sense of the market as it related to the home you're lookng at.

Not sure if such a book would exist for real estate investors, but I would be open to any type of book that can give useful information and tips on talking to motivated sellers (or sellers with any level of motivation).

Thanks, guess an assessment would need to take place to understand existing technology the stakeholder are using or just integrate a new platform across the board.

If that amount is enough to pay off any existing mortgages, taxes, liens, and judgements- it's a deal.

I have been in many homes where some of the other signs ( smell of rotting eggs, corrosive bath fixtures, corrosive AC )  do not exist.

Unfortunately I don't have that luxury and I also don't have friends or family that are real estate savvy to help with making these big decisions or helping resolve any problems that pop up on an existing property.

Anyway we couldn't seem so get a bank interested in financing (they all kept saying they either would not finance existing manufactured homes or they would not finance any older than 1995, I discussed this with the agent handling the property and he said he discussed this with the man who holds the title (the property is now owned by an estate) and he agreed to carry it if we could put 13 down at 5-6 percent interest.
