I hear youJohn Arendsen , and I appreciate the advice.

John Arendsen thanks for the different perspective and honest advice. So just to be clear, you are suggesting that it is best for us to have the MH contractors bid out labor AND materials, right? But is it still good practice to pay them per task NOT per hour, correct?

Bill Neves Thank you so much for your insight and advice! And you correct, it is an older home-1983, single wife, 784 sq ft.

Thank you Jassem A. for your tips!

We just got our first mobile home deal, and are looking for some guidance on working out the logistics of doing mobile home repairs. We are to instruct Contractors/handymen that we solicit to NOT include costs of materials in their bids, correct? So that means they are bidding labor costs only- based on the task. We (investors) price, buy, and deliver windows, siding, skirting, linoleum, carpet, floor boards, AC, etc. We then determine from repairman we hire what additional materials (nails, caulking, etc.) he needs per job and we buy those items and have ready at mobile home also? Bottom line: the investor buys all materials needed and delivers to the job site? And most importantly, we pay by the job, NOT the hour, right? Do we have this correct? All advice and tips are greatly appreciated!
