cute fuzzy bunny
Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
So i'm going to look at the prospective new Casa De Bunny tomorrow. Its a huge piece of property with a very large manufactured home on it priced about $150k below market. Big "problem" is that its sort of out-of-the-way which would suck for a daily commuter but isnt bad for a retiree with a part time working spouse. And apparently most default home searches dont look for "mobile/manufactured"homes in the MLS unless you ask it to. And most people dont.
So anyhow, I've been in a 'manufactured' house perhaps twice in my life. Certainly have read plenty about the new fru-fru ones made from SIP's with high efficiency but while this one looks realllly nice inside, its not one of those.
So given that I have absolutely no idea what is "good" or "bad" about a manufactured home, any input on what to look for or avoid?
Its 12 years old, about 2500 square feet, with about 1200 square feet of recent Trex decking, just under 10 acres with a half acre pond. I never had a pond before either. Other than making sure the septic isnt seeping into the pond, whats the deal with those?
Looks like central air/heat, wood outside, composition roof, granite kitchens and some marble in the master bath, finished wood ceilings and tile/carpet throughout.

Any hints/tips/tricks?
