Should I buy a modular home that was built in 1970?
Posted by Modular Homes on January 22nd, 2011

I know modular homes today are just as good, if not better than a traditional stick-built home…but I am looking at one that was built in 1970 and is now being sold.
Its just a little ranch- but its in a great spot, and is perfect for a starter home.
Should I be cautious of modular homes made during 1970? Or have they always been on par with stick built homes? (except for style)
Can I get out of buying a modular home?

Ok I started payments on a modular home in the modular home park.I am real uneasy about living in modular homes because tornadoes.Well when we purchased homes one of the selling points was the tornado shelters around the park.I had asked for a key while we was in the office signing the paper work on the trailer with manager.She said she have one made.I went back and she said she forgot,another time I went back and another lady was in there when I asked and she heard me ask for a key and the ladie said oh you are giving out keys to the shelter it was an elderly ladie.Anyways the manager on the site then replied she didnt have one made yet and now they will probably shut the shelters down due to them being to much of a liability.I dont want to live here if that is the case,the main reason I ok this whole deal was because of the 4 tornado shelters around the park.Now they are going to close them,she hasnt given me a key yet either.Is there any way I can just get out of buying this place
well that is what I thought that was one of the anemities of this place.I dont really like modular homes for the reason of tornados,and storm shelters was its selling point for me.I was tired of renting and this seemed like an alright deal not a trashy park,has storm shelters etc.I also complained about a huge tree in my yard well it started throwing branches and one about hit my car.I am so scared that thing is going to fall I went a complained about that but she said it was my responseability to pay for the tree to be removed?I dont own the land I rent it
I guess i might be looking for lawyers soon then,here goes lots of money =(

Modular home designs where you fit each room together?

A few years ago I saw a piece on "I Want That" (A long gone show on HGTV) where they featured modular homes which were modern in design and were basically variations of boxes for different rooms or groups of rooms which fit together like legos to create your house. It was pretty cool. I went online to their website even, but naturally I now don’t remember the company or anything and was wondering if anyone out there knows what I’m talking about or something similar maybe?

We are looking to buy a modular home that was built in 2002. There are some things that we would like to do, like removing 2 doors, 1 exterior and 1 interior and adding french doors. My father in-law was worried that the walls were a different thickness from "stick built" homes and it wouldnt be possible to do these things without special ordering doors. Is this true or are modular homes built with the same wall thickness? Thanks for any info you have.

There is a home in PA that I like very much (on 10 acres of land). I just found out that it’s modular. I was told that FHA does not finance modular homes(I was hoping to get the 3-5% down; the home & land asking price is 000). Do you know of any places that could make this happen? Credit score is low 600s and wife & I make 80k a year.
We make ,000/year the house is ,000. I don’t think we make too little. Please read the question carefully.

I just recently started looking at a few modular homes…I’m just wondering what the catch is? They look VERY nice and are decently priced. I think they probably aren’t as sturdy as a normal everyday house, and there’s the headache of having to build your own basement, but what else? Have you purchased one? Do you know any facts (good or bad) that you’d like to share? Thanks in advance!

How much do modular (not a mobile doublewide) homes run? I know it varies on the area, I live in West Virginia. Mobile doublewides usually run ,000-70,000 in my area (Charleston/Huntington). Also, do modular homes depreciate in the same way as mobile homes? I know modular homes are built offsite w/ better quality materials (like, they have dry wall, actual hardwood floors, etc.) instead of paneling and plastic pieces. I also know that modular homes comply w/ the same zoning and coding regulations like a built-at-site home would. Just wondering! Thanks in advance.

Is there a website that has details on which manufactured/modular home manufacturers are approved by the FHA?
My lender told me for new modular homes, I would need to make sure the manufacturer is FHA approved. For a modular or manufactured already set up on land, the same rule applies, plus it would have to be on a foundation, and no tongue or axles

I was shopping for a cheaper way to the American dream and come across some unbelieveable deals on Modular homes. Not cheap made homes, 2 x 6 Studs, 100% Insulated, Metal roofing, Crown Molding, Hand laid tiles. On par with most stick built custom homes for 1/4 the price. Very impressive homes usually around 1800 sq ft Heating and Cooled. Equals out to about .00 sq ft to maybe .00 for the top of the line models. Are they worth it and does anybody have a Sun Valley made by Deer Valley Home?

My husband and I are looking to buy our own home. I am very interested in modular homes (there are lots of nice ones that I have looked at). We threw around the idea of buying land and putting in our own, but there are so many hidden costs, like drilling a well, hooking up electricity, plumbing, water….all of that stuff. So then I thought about buying a mobile home that recently come up for sale in our area, tearing it down, and replacing it with a nice modular. What kind of hidden costs would we get into there? Does anybody have any idea what it would cost?

My husband and I are looking into buying a home and are curious about modular homes. Anyone have a price range? I know it can probably vary but we would be looking at something with 3-4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Also, we live in MN. If you have any info, it would greatly appreciated. Every website I check doesn’t list prices and we’re not quite to the stage where we wont to call up sellers. Thanks!
