We removed a lot of weight from the existing chimney (probably close to 50% of its total weight) by removing the top portion but still question its structural integrity long term based on the decay of the base. 

I have seen homes where people have removed most of the interior walls and the end creation looks fantastic (even one in which they removed all the interior walls other than the bathroom and it looked like a mid-century modern masterpiece).You will also need to work on energy efficiency, as mobile homes rate poorly in this category (based on the year it was built).

So far they removed all the old carpet and they put in a new drywall ceiling and wall in the master bedroom on the top floor.

I also removed vehicles, cleaned yard, Removed old ceramic flooring and drywall to the studs.

paint touchup around home, cosmetic stuff with brick flower bed, taking down a roap swing, removal of a deck in back that is basically a warehouse pallet, possibly some lawn care, etc.

Also, reduced expenses by negotiating with waste removal, converting all exterior and common area light fixtures to LED and tighter property management overall. 

The point of making money at the end is to have consumption of things you want, now that might be food, gas money, your internet bill, and yes your housing. 

In addition, they always exclude energy and food, which for most families is the LARGE expenditures each month.

I was pretty pleased they offered me 3.4% on refi costs though, when I've been seeing up to 6-8% in the cash our refi market nationally, as well as other banks just removing the option entirely.

Your fav food.
