Purchasing a manufactured home on a seismic pier foundation,should I buy?

Modular Homes — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 12:04:37 +0000

We are considering buying a manufactured home on a great piece of land in an upscale neighborhood for cash. It seems to be a good deal even though I know manufactured homes are looked down upon when it comes to resale value. The title search at the county revealed that next to serial # and HUD label it stated PERMANENT FOUNDATION-18551.
If we try to resell the land + manufactured home later, will a mortgage company finance both for a new buyer?

I am near the point of purchasing a manufactured home and have narrowed the choices down to the following brands not necessarily in this order: Silver Crest, Skyline, Karsten, Fleetwood, Clayton, Golden West, Kit Homes. I think Fleetwood is at the bottom of the list as the local plant #17 in Woodland Calif. has been decertified by HUD several times over the last few years (Currently decertified). Any one have experiences with any of these brands?

Are modular homes stronger than conventional stick-built homes?

Modular Homes — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:01:42 +0000

I am talking about modular homes (not manufactured homes). Modular homes are built to local codes (not HUD), just like conventional stick-built homes. And modular homes are stick-built also, but I have heard they use 30% more wood than conventional homes because modular homes have to be transported, therefore they are stronger than conventional homes. I have heard that modular homes are made indoors in a controlled environment, which is better, and are made more precisely with more quality control than conventional homes. I have also heard they appreciate the same as conventional homes.

Opinions?
