The "Home With a View" has finally sold! After 1126 days on the market it's about time. One of the reasons this listing of mine took so long to sell was the surroundings. It is located in a rural neighborhood with some very, lets see,- how do I say it nicely?- not so great homes in need of many repairs, much yard clean up and junk removal. Also, directly across the street is a fairly large apartment complex.

This newer manufactured home was probably the nicest on the block. After 2 yrs and two price adjustments, the right buyers were ready to purchase. This was not the only bump in the road to closing this deal. Five days before the closing date we were informed the lender was requiring a foundation inspection for the loan. The inspection by the engineer revealed the covered deck had only been attached to the facia and needed 4x4 posts and a 4x6 beam supporting all the way down to the ground.

Handy for me that my husband is a contractor. He spoke with the engineer and knew just what was needed. The selling agent and I agreed to split the material costs and the three of us put in a days work to get this home financeable.

This shows the posts and beam that were needed to support the deck roof. We attached simpson hurricane ties and post caps above the deck. Underneath we added concrete blocks with pressure treated 4x4 blocking. After the work was completed the report came in fine, a few more delays going through underwriting but today this home has been recorded and is now officially sold.
