Inherited this work of art with a recent deal. I rarely try to tear homes down and will rehab almost anything, but is this one too much to take on?
Anything can be fixed/rebuilt with a good frame. I’ve owned parks for 17 years and I would tear that thing down, hands down. Even when its fixed up, its still a small older home. The only way I would even consider fixing a home like this is if I could not replace the home with a different home on that particular lot. Those subfloors got all wet, the roof is missing. This is bad. Not even close to worth fixing unless your in an unusual market or something.

Managing contractors is difficult. Work can be sub par and cost can exceed expectations. The larger the project, the larger the potential magnitude of these disappointments. Your cost can potentially exceed the cost of a brand new home, but it will be a used home when complete. Thus, generally I would scrap it.
Exception is if you cannot replace a home and are forced to replace it. In that case, it is a consideration if you can manage the work and keep the numbers in line.

Thanks for the comments. I may have found someone willing to take on the challenge themself.
