It depends. Is it a single wide or a double wide. If is is a single you could tear out every interior wall in it and start from scratch if you wanted. The roof of a single wide is supported by the exterior walls, the interior walls are just room dividers. If it is a double wide you need to be careful. If the wall in question runs perpendicular to the center line, go ahead. If it runs parallel to the center line, it may indeed be load bearing.

mobile homes are held up by the roof structure: they collapse inward if the roof or exterior walls are tampered with without bracing.
the ceiling beams keep the exterior walls from collapsing.
totally different than a house structure.
Someone said "load bearing walls"... in a mobile home?? o.k.!!
You can remove inside walls, I did. They are not holding up anything.
have fun...

If it is an exterior wall then you need to but in as much bracing as possible until you rebuild the wall. If it is an interior wall then it shouldn't be load bearing which mean no bracing is required.

you could declare as much as ten% of the acquisition value because of the fact the credit, as much as $8,000. for example, if the acquisition value is $70,000, you would be able to desire to qualify for a $7,000 credit. besides the undeniable fact that, a house costing $2 hundred,000 would in basic terms qualify for an $8,000 credit. there is not any stipulation on the form of domicile (i.e. modular, stick geared up, cellular, and so on.). so as to qualify for the credit that's going to a million.) be your very own place of residing, and a couple of.) you you probably did no longer very own a house for the period of the three year era in the previous your new domicile purchase. The credit is a refundable credit, meaning in case you qualify, you will get carry of money returned despite in case you haven't any longer any tax criminal accountability. as properly, the IRS is permitting people who qualify for the credit to submit sort 5405 right this moment so as to declare the credit now rather of having to attend until submitting 2009 taxes. be conscious! in case you sell the domicile or it rather is not any longer your known place of residing interior of a 36 month era after purchase, the IRS will assume reimbursement of the credit. income barriers is often desirable as properly. I even have enclosed a link below to a information launch from the indoors gross revenues provider, which will answer your question.
