Good luck.FHA may very well be my best bet.  

There are a number of strategies for their situation but most hinge on at least some equity.

my name is Leonard Maddox and I think on your question you need to know that there's axles in a frame under there that would have to be torched as far as being cut up into pieces if you don't have a torch then you aren't going to be cutting it up your best bet like the one of before me sad is to find someone who will haul it away for free a lot of times you can find that or how much it would cost to have it hauled away now also some of these people will want the stuff that's in these homes are deciding that's on this home or the roof so there is a whole lot of this home that you don't know that they might want so you can advertise it in the local paper or call up trailer hauling places I was in the business of manufactured homes for 10 years I used to buy some of these old home and my friend who was a transporter used to take the Home to his place and take a whole bunch of parts out of them because they're good for other homes you know they're no good for that one so as long as it can move down the road a lot of times hey holler our transporter will take them away

If you research his "employer" I bet he is the owner.  

I would never allow a clause like that to stand and I bet your judges are way more liberal than I am. 

I do think now that i have some under my belt, my best bet would be to just hire contractors myself in the future, but right now I am taking a hiatus.

I bet if that is what he was looking for. 

Two tips:  Plan for Property management when you buy the property (because you will move), and don't bet on appreciation and selling in 3 years (that's gambling).Good luck!

I still wouldn't bet my life that that's the best way, but I'd bet money on it.

Jay,Didn't anyone tell you - Never buy a rooming house on Elm Street ;-)I do like the airline personnel model, but find student rooming house and those close to research/teaching hospitals are good bets as well.
