The only thing is that all they know about modulars is that they are junky poorly made doublewides. I've tried to show them websites and pictures, but the one's they've looked at in their small town of Clarion, Pa are still the crappy cheaper ones. They are totally turned off and everyone is telling them that they ARE bad and to stay away from them.

I need hard proof to counter all their friend's point of views. Anyone know of articles or shows that have covered modular homes that are credible. Anybody like CNN (they watch it religiously and would probably listen to them).

Please help!!! They are rushing and are looking at crappy 1970's houses for 0k! Its driving me crazy!!!!
So it looks like modulars are basically stick built houses and manufactured housing are the lower grade doublewide style houses (our home inspector below has informed us).

Based on this. What do you think? Is the misconception between modulars and manufactured homes what is scaring people away?

The only thing is that I've heard that modular's will depreciate in value. This doesn't appear to be true, because its just like a regular house after its built and you can't tell the difference.

It seems like alot of people are confusing the "modulars" with those "manufactured" low grade double wide homes.
Does this misconception about the differences really make the modular homes depreciate?
Whenever you go to sell it, do you just not tell people that they are modular since they are pretty much a regular house?
