What manufactured cars run off of biodiesel or ethanol?
Q. I am looking to buy a car that runs off of biodiesel and ethanol, but I'm having problems finding what cars are out there. I want them made this year and not personally converted, manufactured that way. Can anyone give me a list of what manufactured cars run off of one or the other alternative fuel listed?

A. Any diesel engine should run on biodiesel, however, it is not a good idea to put ethanol into your diesel engine because it won't run and if mixed with diesel it will substantially reduce the flashpoint of the fuel which creates a significant safety hazard (think boom :) For ethanol in a gasoline powered vehicle, you are probably already using E10 (gasoline blended with up to 10 percent ethanol by volume). If you would like to use higher blend levels or E85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline), then you are going to need to purchase a flexable-fuel vehicle (or FFVs). Most domestic car companies produce a number of models that are FFVs, but foreign manufacturers do not really produce many models in the US (for example, Toyota only… [cont.]

How much would it cost to move a Manufactured Home to an existing homesite?
Q. We are looking at property for sale with an older manufactured home on it, we are wondering how much it would cost to move another MH to this site? We are looking at used MH's for sale within about 20 miles. We are in Oregon and could buy a new manufactured home for around $50k, but I don't know if this includes all costs of setup. If anyone has experience with this, or any ideas where to look for informaton, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A. This will be in 2 parts. Number 1,if this is a single-wide manufactured home, it will be easy to move if the tongue and axles are still intact. they will put the wheels on it and move it down the road. They will need the title to legally take it on the highway as it is a vehicle. In our area, this cost around $1,500 and that includes hooking the electric,water and sewer,as long as the taps are ready to go. Number 2 is a double-wide. These have to be taken apart and re-axled and the tongue installed.you will also need the titles to move them. This a large job because the roof, marriage walls and siding have to be removed in several areas and then sealed so it doesn't take the rest of it off going down the road. We just had one of these… [cont.]

Is it good to live in a manufactured home in Ann Arbor, Michigan?
Q. I need property in Michigan in order to establish residency. I figured that this is the cheapest way to go since I do not want to live in an apartment! Any advice? Being that I am a Californian...

A. I suggest reading more from some of these sources. You can search on this public website for most homes in Washtenaw County (this is not my website or my companies) Once you select up to five areas, you simply enter your comfortable price range and can choose various types of architecture. This site will not contain manufactured homes within a manufactured community. The home must be on owned, not rented land. I cannot answer your question about will you freeze, this would vary by any structure and would require an independent investigation.

Can I take out a home loan for land and a manufactured loan?
Q. By home loan I mean a home loan and not a personal property loan like on a trailer home/manufactured home in a trailer court. I qualified for a home loan and I want to keep it cheap, so I want to purchase a piece of land and a manufactured home. Wil this work as a home loan if its on private land? Wow, there is quite the array of scams out there! Why would anyone take out a loan from the internet without talking to someone face to face?
Asked by Jak K - Tue May 8 16:09:07 2007 - - 0 Answers - 2 Comments

A. To have a mortgage loan you must have land involved, so no trailer park rentals. Lender's are not fond of mobile homes because they lose value - unlike a stick-built home which will appreciate in value. You are unlikely to find 100% financing for a mobile home. 90% or less is the norm and that is with good credit. Your interest rate will be higher as well. If you are buying this as an investment (in your own future-not as an investment property) you should look into a modular home. Anything but a mobile. You won't get out what you put into a mobile. That said, there are some very nice mobile homes out there.

Asked by Doesntstayinvegas.com - Mon Oct 29 22:39:54 2007 - - 8 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Smallpox isn't wiped out as in wiped out of existence off the face of the earth. It still exists, in the CDC laboratories, in freezers. They also keep stores of vaccine, and in 2000 contracted with a lab to produce additional stores of it. The virus is used to produce the vaccine, not cowpox or any other type of "pox". Cowpox infections offer future resistance to smallpox, but doesn't confer immunity- so the small pox vaccination would still be needed if there were an outbreak.

How can I make the crawl space under my Manufactured Home more "crawl friendly"?
Q. I own a Manufactured Home on permanent foundation. I have approximately 18" or less crawl space under my home. It's pretty critter-free but I am more concerned about just the room/space available to maneuver and crawling around on the dirt when I need to do various maintenance under the home.

Can/how you repair expansion gaps in the seam of a manufactured home?

When looking at the house for the first time the owner showed us these gaps (max 1/4in) in the interior walls and ceilings of the home. He says they completely seal up in the summer time and are unnoticeable. Do I need to be worried about this when buying the home, and is there some sort of permanant fix?
Asked by blnalder - Tue Apr 8 11:59:40 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Not that I like manufacture homes myself but the owner is correct expansion is required for these homes and should not be wider than 1/4" for natrual expansion and contraction Concrete, wood, cmu block all these houses or buildings have expansion controll. I do inspection for commercial buildings and if there not in its a problem. This allows for the material to breath. If you look in your lowes or home depot or any expose block building you will see a cap between wall expansion for this very reason. Concrete floor will be section out or saw cut for natrual expansion and contraction to prevent any structural damge. And the reason you dont see this in other homes is they are built onsite and are concealed at that point buy siding etc.

Asked by harleyridnbiker - Fri Oct 20 09:18:49 2006 - - 14 Answers - 1 Comments

A. A mobile home is delivered to your site on wheels and is a complete home all by itself. There is no permanent foundation only aluminum skirting underneath to cover the wheels and cement block supports. A manufactured home is a home that's built in stages at the warehouse or building site and then delivered to your site and placed on a permanent foundation. It could be delivered in sections like walls or rooms. Sometimes a manufactured home is built completely on site just like a stick built home from scratch but mostly it's already built at the warehouse & delivered in sections to you. Be very careful choosing a mobile home. They depreciate in value just like a car & are very unstable in inclement weather. A permanent foundation… [cont.]

Asked by js_shah2002 - Thu Apr 27 23:12:39 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No difference by definition. A molecule is the same molecule no matter how it was made. As a practical matter, synthesizing molecules that are normally produced biologically is not always easy. The exact way to do it may not have been discovered yet, in which case you might end up synthesizing something close, but not exact (but then, they would be considered different molecules--their origins would be irrelevant). Even if you can synthesize the exact molecule, there is usually an issue of yield (you didn't just synthesize that molecule, but you also made lots of side products and incorrect isomers).

what is avg life expectancy of manufactured housing? Is there ever appreciation on these?
Q. looking at real estate which has mobile home - or as it is now called - manufactured housing - I don't think there is much value for the house? Am I wrong?
Asked by abqfb - Sat Jul 26 15:47:22 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well that depends on whether it's a manufactured home or a trailer (mobile home). The older trailer style homes don't appreciate, they depreciate. The newer (built in a factory) manufactured homes are actually built with most of the same material used to build on site homes, as a matter of fact some manufactured homes have the exterior walls built using much stronger 2x6 framing whereas on site homes use 2x4 exterior framing. Unlike a mobile home, a manufactured home DOES appreciate in value, not quite the rate of a on site home will, but they do appreciate. With proper maintenance there is no reason for it to last any less, than a built on site home, built with the same material. Hope this was helpful, ;-)

How do you refinance an upside down mortgage for a manufactured home?
Q. My husband and I bought a manufactured home back in 2001. Unfortunately, we were very inexperienced and did not understand that having money down at closing was so important. At the time, we also had bad credit, but the dealer was determined to sign us.

It was lowered from 12.5% to 10.75%. We have always made timely payments for the last 6 years, but would like to refinance to get the incredibly high interest rate down.

A. The highest LTV you're going to get on manufactured right now is about 90%, and that's even if you can find a bank to do it, because they've been avoiding manufactured like the Plague lately. Reason being is that property values are on a down trend, and the first properties to drop in value are mobile and manufactured homes.
