intermediary (for example, a dealer of manufactured
homes) and the intermediary (or the last of multiple
intermediaries) sells or leases the manufactured home to
another person for use as a residence. See section 7.03
of Notice 2023-65 for a safe harbor permitting an eligible
contractor to rely on a dealer's statement concerning a
