How do you determine value of a mobile home? - Posted by Billy

Bear in mind April that moving and set up could run you as much as $2,000 depending on your area (especially if this is your only move).

Why not simply sit down with your Mom and make things work for everyone.

For example. Call and find out just exactly what it would cost to move and set up the home on your land. Get an idea on repair, if any, (most any handyman, myself excluded, can do these repairs).

Find out how much the carpet will cost.

Then discuss with Mom and payment schedule (say $100 per month for 2 years or whatever works for you).

The best bet is to make both sides feel they are getting a fair deal. Then DOCUMENT the agreement so no hard feelings will come up.

Best Wishes and Happy Holidays,

Is it the same as a traditional home?

Thanks,

Billy,
This is a really broad question. I know it’ll sound strange but “It depends” is the best I can do without knowing what are trying to do. Do you want this to live in, or as an investment?
Give more details and you’ll get a better response.
All the best, Lyal

I am currently searching for a fair priced mobile home. I was wondering if there is anything that I should be aware of as I look at them. What causes plumbing to freeze, and are there any other signs of a trouble home.
