Ready to get on a plane and take some trips.

FHA has some other small things that will cause a failed inspection/appraisal....trip hazards (raised thresholds), exposed wring, etc.

This will at least save you a trip charge for something you could of fixed in a few minutes.

We've made a couple trips there a nd a few contacts. 

For what we call "stupid trips" we have our PM note them in the file but not send anyone out until there is an actual problem, like a leak or a broken appliance, then take care of all of them on one trip.

Get several refferals and make sure that you make at least (1) trip out to see the property before closing on it.

If the tenant is a no-show after demanding they be present, that tenant is responsible for any trip charges.

Or was he just looking for another reason to charge me a trip fee?

Think of all the fun you can have with the down payment if you didn't buy the MHP: throw a really big party, buy some toys, go on a trip. 

During a recent work trip I finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.
