Banks and lenders also use experienced Home appraisers and Blue Books to thoroughly appraise them at fair market value.If they're placed on a foundation on a resident owned lot or parcel and certified by an engineer and they're permanently installed on the situs they are no longer considered "CHATTEL" and therefor run with the land in a sales transaction.

Don't purchase anything older than a home built from June 15,, 1976 or before and even then be very careful about investing in any MH built in even the late 70's as many used a number of caustic (formaldehyde) and carcinogenic (asbestos) chemicals and substances until the laws changed in '79-'80.Additionally, if the home has ever been moved from it's original situs (one site to another except from the manufacturers and/or dealers retail lot) as conventional financing would be very difficult to come by.

She's not interested in developing RE business acumen (she's content to let me take the lead on that) and doesn't find the game as entertaining as traditional family board games.I would call it educational and a good way for certain concepts to gel when you're first starting out.

@Patrick BrittonTook me 7 business days to get a vom while shellpoint fci or even situs can send it back same day...Each company has their strengths and weaknesses.

When viewing the information on the property, look for a "mailing address" that is different from the actual property, or "situs", address.

Even if it is outsourced to a group like Situs, the costs are still too high to achieve profitability on a 5% fee for deals under $2MM in size.This is precisely why I believe Fundrise dropped out of the crowdfunding game and decided to focus on their e-REIT.  

Property id is 0944-15-0220, the situs address is shown as Gainsboro St., North Port FL and looking from the street (on Google Maps or Google Earth), is the block to the right hand side of 5545 Gainsboro St.

If you don't get the situs address of property location it just may not have one.  

Once you get the database on a CD then compare the mailing addresses to the situs addresses.

As a Software engineer I am trying to see how I can use my background in computers to gel with the direction of the RE industry giving me a jump start.
