Adding a basement under a manufactured home

Tags: Basement & Foundation
My fiance's house is a manufactured home, one of those that came in 2 pieces and was assembled and finished on site. He had a slab poured for the foundation. My question is: How hard and expensive would it to be to take out the slab and add a full basement?

You would have to move the house so impossible for you to do on your own. As for the expense...it's hard to estimate since it will vary depending on the area and where he bought it from.
