The reason why most lenders won't touch anything that's built before 1976 is because that is the year that the HUD code went into effect, establishing construction and safety standards for manufactured homes.The issue you are facing with "physically attaching" structures to the mobile home will depend on the lender.

I got a lot of weird responses like “let’s meet for coffee to get to know each other first” (talk about a huge waste of time... ma gosh..) the weirdest was when this listing agent wanted me to send over my drivers license first because of “safety reasons”.

It seems as if the citizens and the police department are making strong improvements to improve safety.

Hi @Jay Hinrichs,I always have a goal to get my RE debt down to at least 50% of debt to value to add safety to all my deals. 

The City's code compliance team is going to care primarily about Life and Safety issues and secondarily about complaints by tenants or neighbors. 

Hi all,First post here and I couldn’t find it answered anywhere else - I have a 2-unit in Portland Maine built in 1920 and for the first time this year the fire safety inspector measured my upstairs bedroom windows and found neither of them conformed to existing egress window standards.

I think its just a nice safety cushion as well.. 

Safety is even more important. 

So he sent all his children to private school for safety.

Please note that all of these "jobs" are unpaid and I don't have a safety-net.
