How can you find out if someone has a license to sell mobile homes?

Contact the licensing board in your state. Laws, rules and regulations will be different from state to state. My guess is that the sale of a mobile home will come under very different rules than the sale of a constructed home on a lot. Also, if a person owns a mobile home or a constructed house, he or she can sell it without a license. There is no requirement that the sale of a home must be handled by an agent. In some places, probably everywhere in the US,what is regulated is selling a home that belongs to someone else for a fee or commission.

How are window blinds used in a mobile home?

Just as in a conventional home, blinds are used in a mobile home to both enhance the appearance of the living space, and shield the interior from sunlight.

This could include a fastener at the bottom, or a rail system down the sides of the window.

What is the value of a 1986 Ardmoe mobile home?

It's very hard to put a realistic value on an older mobile home. I do understand that there are companies who have what they feel are a list of home values. The reality is very different and depends on a number of factors they don't even consider.

I spent over a year looking around my area ,through a total of 14 mobile parks to find what I wanted. I considered first the park itself, was it well kept and nice to be in? I almost straight away ruled out 2 that I felt were 'sleazy'.

Next I considered pad rental and what they offered for it. -In an area covering 15 x 30 miles I found rents from 400 to over 800 for the same space. Many were offering a 'clubhouse' or a swimming pool and charged 150 -200 per month for that. Some offered 'security service' where some 'wanna be cop' rolled through 2-3 times a night. - I finally settled on 4 parks that were well maintained and had rental fees around 500.

Now I watched home sales and went to see many homes. I found that many people grossly over-rated their homes value. Some had many unseen problems, needed new furnaces or roofs and other expensive items. I found that plumbing problems were endemic in mobiles over 15 years old. Many made with Poly-B or cheap copper pipe. ( and consequently now had areas of rotten floor from pinhole leaks ) At this point I decided to look for ones that were price reduced because the problems were obvious and were ones that I could fix. -Within a month or two I found many cheap older homes with things wrong with them and finally settled on one that I bought for less than 20,000 and that I fixed properly for about a month of my labour and 8-9000 in materials. -My neighbours all paid over 50,000 for theirs in similar shape !

What I'm trying to say is - there is no way to set a value without extensive inspection AND knowledge of how much it will cost to fix. -Many people keep their homes looking fine, but hide many structural and plumbing problems. Simply knowing the name and age is just not enough.

What is the standard rules for setting up a shed in mobile home park?

How do you find water main for our home in a mobile home park?

The park will have a central water main and it will branch to each lot. Every lot must have it's own shut off valve and usually a PRV. For building convenience, this water pipe usually comes out of the ground in a small pit midway down the home foundation. An owner wanting to shut off will almost always have to go into his crawlspace to get at the valve. Park management will (or should) be aware of all this.
