 Get info thanks!

How many piers did you end up with? How many square feet is the home being inspected?

That's what I have gathered - between the tie downs, mounting, depth, etc. All of that is fine with me. And I only have to learn it once, the next time will be easier. 

It sounds like your system is being installed w/o moving the home is that correct? If you don't mind me asking what the cost was? 

Has anyone found any foundation systems that can be installed without having to move a doublewide thats been in place for a decade or two? 

I know that can pull the house out of the way and do a traditional slab/pit, but was curious if there was a better way. The idea is to be able to get the house into FHA standards, ie strapped down to a permanent foundation.

Thanks all

Thank you Rachel! 

That makes sense and you brought up a great point - financing or more refi. Is it harder to get refinancing on a SW v DW? (all things being the same: on foundation, age of unit, plot of land, 18-24 months of steady tenant occupancy, etc).

Hello all,

I was just at the local MH dealer and looked at a few homes for a lot of land. I was set on a doublewide and honestly have no idea why. I am set on it being at least a 3/2 and 1100-1500sqft. 

Do y'all see a difference in vacancy, turnover, type of tenant, etc? Or am I over thinking DW v. SW?

Most of the dealers here have "free" delivery and set up on both so IF I go thru a dealer setup (dropping in place, water&septic) cost isn't a factor. Obviously, transport from a private party sale would be different. Footing would be more (I am planning on putting it on a foundation to refi later). 

I learned today singlewides are much cheaper and easier to find...

Thank you!

Here its saying submetering in NJ is illegal for profit. The term is check metering there and looks legal. (From a vendor site so further investigation needed)

Thank you both for the help! I will be using that for marketing as well.

With that being said - what is considered a good vs average response rate to a rental ad? Should I get three calls a day? Five a week, 20? 

I'm new to the rental side of things (I'm a slow learner), so I don't really have a good reference point to see if my thought on price point is $100-200 high or low. Or more.

Good evening all!

I am curious to know if I have a rental house priced correctly. How many responses from craigslist do you tend to see in a day/week? And with that number - how long until you have a qualified tenant with a lease in place?

The location is more rural, only three other rents came up on rentometer w/ a 10 mile search. I understand that rural has the possibility to have lower traffic. The property is currently 35-40 minutes from Abq. 

Thank you all in advance! I look forward to the answers.

@William Smith sounds like we are in the same boat. We just moved up here from SA last weekend. Definitely a different market. Lol. 

I'll send you a request. I'm sure we'll run into each other. 

That would catch my eye as well. Good luck!!
