Re: Closing up mobile home for summer

you should have gotten an owners manual with the home, which gives you all the pointers you need. If you did not get that manual, contact the manufacturer and ask for a duplicate. Also, be aware as far as bugs and such, there are a lot of natural repellants like lavendar, eucaluptus and such that yo...

Re: Mobile Home Auctions

You might want to contact local dealers and ask what they do with the pull outs when they do upgrades? Some of the pullouts are still very nice, and livable homes that someone outgrew for one reason or another.

Re: paying cash on MH

Paying cash? I hope you put 5% down on opening escrow, and have all your inspections done, and then make the balance due at the closing of escrow, especially if any of the downpayment is non-refundable. Ask for comps of sales in the area also, to make sure you are getting a good deal. Last cash deal...

Re: I’m looking to buy a home.

Most of the realtors I know sell on a percentage of the sale price, so if the prices are dropping so are their commissions. And just like most other professionals, there is the cost of overhead of doing business. If you want to save money, look in your local area for businesses like Help-U-Sell, or ...
