To renovate it to not? Complicated problem.

We've been living in our current house (a small manufactured home with LOTS of issues) for a couple years now. We got it on a whim because my partners mom got it on auction and the house we were living in previously had no running water or plumbing. We got pregnant and by a miracle had this place.

​

Here's where my question comes. I know there's a chance before we pay off this mortgage and buy another house but we need to make some sort of renovations to make life a little more livable or even make the place sellable. We have many issues with incomplete renovations from the previous owners. Here are the problems we face:

​

​

-mice getting into the floor vents, in the cabinets by the sink, the gas line and under the shower (probably more)

​

-leaking HVAC vent

​

-possible leaky pipe that is leading to a bigger problem possibly

​

-previous water damage from a tenant that used incorrect toilet paper and messed up the plumbing

​

-not enough space for stuff and the sheds we have we can't use due to mice

​

-wasps getting into siding and roof due to how it was installed

​

​

​

There's definitely more smaller issues but overall we aren't happy where we are and we don't know if we should renovate a lot and make it more livable or if we should sell early and get a VA loan and find something better. He makes around 77k a year, I cannot work otherwise i would lose good healthcare and even our daughter might.

​

TLDR Should I renovate the shit box to make life more bearable and then sell or do the bare minimum and sell early and find something better? Or have any other option I haven't considered?
