I understand Randy. Here's my logic:
The MH's won't be attached to utilities. Therefore, they can't qualify for flood insurance.
If I have an individual who owns a MH, I can make them anchor it because it needs to be to qualify for flood AND hazard insurance. Loan contracts require MH's to be insured. Anchoring them is a requirement to carry out the contract requirement.
This is where the definition of "improved real estate" & "mobile home" exempts dealership inventory.
208.25(b)(3) Building means a walled and roofed structure, other than a gas or liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground and affixed to a permanent site, and a walled and roofed structure while in the course of construction, alteration, or repair.
208.25(b)(6) Mobile home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, that is built on a permanent chassis and designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term mobile home does not include a recreational vehicle. For purposes of this section, the term mobile home means a mobile home on a permanent foundation. The term mobile home includes a manufactured home as that term is used in the NFIP.
