Also hitches and axles removed, and ideally a perimeter foundation such as brick skirting.

You still continue to have a mortgage on them though, would you consider removing the mortgage and have the house under a ELOC or LOC?

Remember, unless you qualify for an exception, your going to be taxed (fined) on taking money out of your 401K early; so depending on how much you remove, your "savings" could be potentially whipped out.  

Making the basement a legal ADU would require removing the concrete and digging the floor down some to get to legal ceiling height, Another option would be to make the basement legal living space with less stringent permitting requirements by legalizing the old basement stairs -- not sure how much that would cost -- guessing 10-15K.

A complex manager will expect you to: research and present the best contracts for lawn care, snow removal, trash, handle fire department inspections, mortgage inspections, arrange for yearly maintenance of all fire systems, serve as direct liaison between local municipality and complex; and prepare an operating budget. 

I cover trash, lawn maintenance and leaf removal, which runs me about $500 a year.

@Bob Drew My early termination as defined in my lease says they loose their deposit.
