So I just got a call for a home inspection and a wind mitigation on a manufactured home. I have taken the classes for all of this but have never performed a home inspection on a manufactured home which I feel confident on doing but I’m not sure on how to do a wind mitigation on one. Any tips are welcome. ---

I feel confident doing the home inspection but as far as the wind mitigation I was wondering if manufactured homes even have a way to get in an attic to see some kind of Deck attachment or roof to wall attachment or how to answer any of the other questions on a wind mitigation form ---

In Florida… For me that would be a strange request. I may be incorrect , but an engineers report is what they need. Anchors and straps it about all you can do . And without and engineer’s report ,Your report isn’t worth a dime. ---

The tie down inspection just to verify whether they were there and in what condition is all I’ve ever been asked to do. Bert
