There's a lot that ages in old affordable manufactured homes in the north section. Things to look for other than roof, AC and grey pipes: windows (very costly to replace), testing all electrical outlets (about $175 to replace each) because ants and other insects can get in there and destroy them, skirt and underbelly of home (mine needs to be replaced, expensive), squishy floor due to water damage (yes, once again expensive), water damage in general (people generally wait until they see water seeping through roof before replacing), old water pipes, old inefficient AC/furnace ducts, clogged up bathroom and/or kitchen drains, replacing/updating kitchen and bathrooms, water heater and lawn irrigation system are what I can think of right now. Even though it can be very costly to renovate all this stuff, I felt being where I wanted to be was worth it. I recommend you get an inspection if possible and budget the replacements. Good luck with your search and purchase!
