As the article says, about a third of them have trouble with the windows, doors, and plumbing. Another thing to watch for is the floors, it only takes a small water leak and they will start to get soft.

I also see a fair number of improperly installed decks/porches--the factory made stairs are installed sideways and the landing is not large enough.

HUD manufacturing regulations came into effect in 1976.
