Question about manufactured homes?

Posted by Modular Homes on March 30th, 2011

There is a manufactured home in my area, built in 2000, now for sale for ,000. The website says it was a "foreclosed PROPERTY" So by it saying that, does that mean that if I pay the ,000 I own the home and the land that it is on? Or I just own the home and still have to pay for the land it is on?

Also, pros and cons of manufactured homes?

Loan types for manufactured homes and buying land?

Posted by Modular Homes on February 28th, 2011

I need to know what type of a loan I will need to buy a piece of property, set up and prep the construction site and then move my current manufactured home onto it? This loan also needs to refinance the home, pay for the hookup fees, move, set up and install, and would it be possible to add a garage onto the property?

what are some pros and cons of buying a manufactured home?

Posted by Modular Homes on February 5th, 2011

We are looking to find a way out of renting, but the homes in our price range are crummy or in bad neighborhoods. Would a manufactured home in a park be a good alternative to start us out until we can save for a down payment and work on improving our credit?

Regulations regarding where I can put a Modular Home?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 31st, 2011

I’m in Sacramento, California.
I’ve found a great lot in a great neighborhood, AND a great Modular Home for a great price that needs to be moved.
I’ve read on some manufactured home websites, that there is a law that forbids them, yet most people think I can’t put one in a regular residential area (which is exactly what I want to do!).

Where do I go to ‘officially’ get the answer?

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

Posted by Modular Homes on December 1st, 2010

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?

Posted by Modular Homes on November 18th, 2010

How do I find a used manufactured home that is not attached to a particular address already? I cant seem to come up with the right keywords to take me to a dealership, or whatever you call them. I tried "used" "pre-owned" "Pre-fab" "Manufactured" "Mobile" "House" "Home" "for sale" and every combination therein. I have a lot of land I want to put a house on, and am not trying to move into a mobile home park!

Need advice on buying a modular home?

Posted by Modular Homes on September 26th, 2010

Retirement is right around the corner so we’re starting to get into the planning and option stage. Looking for a little advice about contracting for a modular/manufactured home to be built on property that will be purchased eventually. Searching Google is confusing, as I’d like to see some models that would be erected in a different state so I guess I need to find a manufacturer who goes all over the country but has showrooms (model homes) not far from our current home. Any help here? Also, some feed back on quality you may have found or found lacking on any manufacturers.

Manufactured Homes: Friend or Foe?

Posted by Modular Homes on August 27th, 2010

I always have a fear of buying a manufactured home vs a stick built. I’m a first time homebuyer and really rather own than rent. I looked at various real estate agencies that sell stick built and manufactured homes. A stick built that falls within my range are 2 bedrooms 1 bath and are built in 1909-1920, while a manufactured home has 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and is 30K less than a stick built home and is built around 1998. I’m not planning to stay in the city more than 2 years until I’m finished with college, I have a very good credit score and manage my finances very well. I have a lot of reservations about purchasing a manu home because I fear that there must be something wrong with a manufactured home because the price is so cheap Can anyone give me insight on this? Is buying a manufactured home a horrible idea for a first time homebuyer?

Do many cities allow single wide manufactured homes?

Posted by Modular Homes on April 26th, 2010

All the cities here even the hillbilly city up in the sticks says a manufactured home must be combine 2 units and be 1,000 square feet. Why does it matter how big a house is? Bleh Too many laws and not enough freedoms with your land. So I suppose my only option is to buy land outside of city limits where zoning laws do not apply?

Thanks

Am I better off buying a mobile home rather than a condo or townhouse?

Posted by Modular Homes on November 23rd, 2009

I am ready to plunge into the real estate market, and was wondering what the pros and cons of buying a manufactured home rather than a condo or townhome would be. Here in CA, a typical 1300 sq ft three bed/two bath mobile home in my area goes for about 0k – roughly half the price of a 0k 600 sq ft one bed/one bath condo. I realize that with mobile homes, one has to pay rent on the space- but condos and townhomes pay similarly priced HOA dues every month. I am a single guy in my early 40s. Any advice would be greatly appreciated- thanks!

Pricing on building a porch/deck on my modular home?

Posted by Modular Homes on September 5th, 2009

I have double wide manufactured home on a solid foundation. I am looking to have someone come in a build me a new deck out back (around 12×16 ft) with a roof over top, and preferably screened in. All I have now is an uncovered deck, which is needs replaced. I live in eastern NC and was wondering if there was any carpenters out there who could give me a rough estimate on what the price would be. I figure labor will be just as much as the materials. What do you think the final out the door price would be?? Thanks.

Do brand new manufactured homes in a park appreciate?

Posted by Modular Homes on July 24th, 2009

I’m about to buy a brand new manufactured home that is about to be put in a park where I rent the space it sits in for a certain amount a month. Now, the area it sits in is right next door to a growing city. Does that mean the value of my manufactured home will appreciate? And as this being my first house ever…do you think purchasing a manufactured home will be a great place to start? Then move onto a bigger house someday? I’m only 22, so everything is still new to me.
