Do we have an electrical problem in our mobile home?

Posted by admin on March 8th, 2010

We bought our mobile home from an idiot (I call him that for many other reasons). It had been vandelized, including electric box, etc. He "fixed" it, but we have problems. Some light fixtures just don’t work. Others seem to burn lightbulbs out more frequently. ie I’ve changed the outside back porch lightbulb 10 times for every 1 time I’ve changed the laundry room bulb. I turn the outside light on once per day, but the laundry room light gets turned on 10 to 20 times per day. And the back porch light burns out more often than the front porch even though the back is used less often and for fewer hours.
Does this indicate a problem, and what? Is it a fire hazard?

Does my mother-in-law need to own the mobile home to claim business use for personal residence?

Posted by admin on March 4th, 2010

She is filing a joint return with her husband, who does own the mobile home. She runs a daycare out of the home.

They just married June 2007, so I don’t know if community property laws play into this. Both lived in WI for the entire year of 2007.

Posted by admin on March 2nd, 2010

How much would it cost to add on a room to a mobile home, where there is already a screened in porch?

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010

Ok we are going to be adding on a room to my grandmothers mobile home. The room will be where there is already a screened in porch. So the foundation is already there. The room will not be completely enclosed. We only want to have two walls (insulated) for now. No electricity is needed. The third wall will be her mobile home and the forth is her laundry room. How much do you think this would cost as a "Do It Yourself " project? Also, if there are any professional carpenters out there, how much would you charge for this type of job? If no one knows the answer to any of the questions, perhaps you have added a room on to your home in the past. How much did it cost you? Thanks

Here are the outside measurements:
long wall height: 8 feet
long wall width: 152 inches = 12.6 feet

smaller wall width: 131 inches = 10.91 feet (including where door will be, there is a storm door right now)
smaller wall height: 105 inches = 8.75 feet

How can I tell if my mobile home was once flood damage?

Posted by admin on February 14th, 2010

I have come to find out that the mobile home that I am renting-to-own is not actually owned by the company selling it to me. They have never put the home in their name. There is also a possibility that it came from a flooded area. The home has since been repainted and recarpeted, etc. I am awaiting a result in an investigation from DMV fraud investigators but would like to do some investigating myself. How would I tell if it has been flooded? Where would I look?

I actually work for the local power company and have a street light installed on my property. It’s on the east side of my home (where I do most of my travelling and entering and exiting). The problem spot is on the west side.

Do mobile home taxes go down automatically?

Posted by admin on February 5th, 2010

As a mobile home gets older, it gets less valuable, because of depreciation. Do tax assessors usually take that into account, or do you have to appeal your assessment to get it taken into account?

What do I need to put a mobile home on my property?

Posted by admin on January 31st, 2010

I live on a large farm right now. I recently got a free mobile home and I want to put it on one of the front lots I own. I recently had a site evaluation done for septic. What do I need to have the trailer on the property? Can I have it on there before the septic and well are ready, and just not live there?
Do I need placement or building permits? Both?
I’m trying to get this done asap so I can move out. Also, do I need to have this lot of land seperated from the rest of the farm? I live on about 50 acres.
Most mobile homes don’t go on perm foundations, I’m not putting mine on one either. I’m gonna stay here until I can put a real house on the lot.
