That's the concept at a very high level.  

I have 2 questions about this concept:1) what are some easy quick ways to do this in a du, tri, or quad plex?

@Sterling Cox thank you for the information on the difference between modular and manufactured, the concept is essentially foreign to my local government.

These appraisers are most likely not investors, and most do not even understand the concept of buying discount properties.

I do not want to invest on the sole concept of appreciation, but if it comes with the deal than that is the icing on the cake.

Short version is I have unique relationship to be able to buy master lease on building for $800k.The renters who pay to use the space covered by this lease is a breakfast restaurant concept that I'm an investor in so I have all their financials.The breakfast restaurant pays $20k/mo to master lease holder (potentially me), and then master lease holder pays building owner about $10k/mo.Total cashflow to master lease holder is $120k annually ($10k/mo).I'm tempted to do pull trigger because $120k/yr cash return on $800k investment is better ROI than most other deals I'm looking at currently in apt complex, mobile home, and multifamily spaces.

At the retail level, the buyers only see the polished end product, and they could not possibly know who put together any given design concept.

I have a few kitchen designers I work with to prepare a concept.

I have seen some travel hacking, the manufactured spend concept is new to me.  

supply and demand comes to my mind first The driving of big prices around LA is definitely based on that concept so I imagine it would effect Santa Clarita quite a bit.
