   I have been researching methods to build economically, modulars have been looked at also,but I have ruled them out as many areas do not allow the placement of A modular by grouping them into A category with mobile homes.
   I ended up with a panel home , these are essentially "stick built" but with much higher energy efficiency and much faster to construct as the panel "kit" components are built in A factory then delivered to the site. very easy to build by unskilled people, then just sub contract for things like electrical,plumbing or anything you don’t want to do yourself.
   these also appreciate in value at the same rate as A fully site built home -modulars do not.
   check the web for owner/builder programs ,many are offered and well worth it to get your project rolling.
   Note: I did very little of the work myself and ended up saving almost 30% from what the builder wanted to charge. Also my utility bills are half that of comparable homes and I do not have any solar.
   hope this helps
   Good luck on your project

   I haven’t purchased a modular home, but we considered it until we found out that we were hardly going to save money over a stick built house. The cost of the home we were looking at was a base price of $79,500 and we were told that delivery and set up would double that. Add on some upgrades and the price of a piece of land and we were basically at the same price as a "regular" house.

   I can’t speak to the price, but if You are going to buy a modular, don,t put it in a trailer park. Put it on private property with a good solid foundation under it.

   In general buy one that’s made for the Northern climates, then you’ll know it’s insulated good. Buy one with the knowledge that your going to put it on private property with a good foundation and well, septic tank.

   Don’t buy to small, if you have a new family, your going to have kids, you don’t want to be moving before you get any equity in it.

   If possible go to the factory that’s making it with someone that knows homes, check it out. If possible.
