Nothing major, just cosmetic stuff.  

@Mark Ainley It's in Logan Square - Fullerton and Kedzie is the nearest major intersection.

If the condo becomes non-warrantable which could happen from a major assessment, mismanagement of the HOA, too many people not paying their HOA, litigation, etc, the value can nose-dive as new buyers can't get low-down financing for the units. 

USE A BUYER"S AGENTWith FNMA, on the vast majority of their listings the buyer's agent can bypass the listing agent and submit offer through Homepath.com. 

In some of the areas that I invest in, they have a major impact on the price of much of the areas real estate.  

However, if you have a good GC you can trust, it will alleviate the majority of the stress and time requirements.In summary - you can do it like I did, but it will be frustrating (although worth it imo).

Last point, in my market and many other major markets we work in, if you are asking for an inspection period on your contract, you're DEAD because the competition here (specifically HVA) is warning sellers that that's the way guys (with no real money) bail out of contracts. 

No major complications occurred.

You may find a place that will roll majority of the closing costs into the loan but I have yet to see a place that will roll the points into the loan.Look up rehab financial group in Wynnewood, little high but they may be exactly what you are looking for.

In reality, the vast majority of chattel loans being made to fund the purchase of a manufactured home are being made by very small lenders.
