What can you do with an older mobile home? Habitat for Humanity? Give to whom?

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010

My sister died in 2002. She left her mobile home to her son who is unable to maintain it. He is now 22 years old, no parents, unemployed. His family is trying to help him with decisions. The mobile home needs new flooring, plumbing, and general repairs. Is there an organization or company he can donate to? Thank you for your sincere responses.

modular housing question? not mobile home! Modular factory built.?

Posted by admin on August 21st, 2009

Are there any manufacturers of modular housing that will do all of the exterior work, plumbing, electrical work and stop there so that once it is installed onsite I can put my own flooring in, build my own cabinets, drywall, install light fixtures, basically all of the interior finish work? I would do the tub sinks etc is this possible? where? who? got a website?
modular NOT manufactured- same financing as stick built

Posted by admin on August 12th, 2009

I am contemplating buying a modular home to put on a piece of property in MI, the cost of the home itself is K. Does anyone have a rough estimate what it costs to install the home and do all the interior work such as foundation, utilities, interior walls, plumbing, electrical, heating, cabinets etc?

Does anyone have an estimated total price for a modular home in the East Texas area?

Posted by admin on July 7th, 2009

I have spoken to a couple retailers in the area and I can’t get a straight answer. I’m looking at 1500-1800 square foot homes and I want to know the cost of all the things like foundation, instillation, transportation, plumbing and electric hook ups and the house. Any info to help educate myself would be appreciated.

What is the difference and pros,& cons regarding mobile, modular, and factory homes?

Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2009

Please don’t send me links to sites explaining the differences, cause it all says the same thing. If your living in one of these kinds of homes, or have lived in them, owned them, then your answer would help greatly. What is sidturbing when we see the showroom of modular and factory homes, the walls are tissue thin, all the updated new walls, are made poorly, also there plumbing and electric has either no warranty on it, or a small warranty on it. My question is with this, if there so good, why don’t they have a warranty on important things like plumbing, and electric? Also I noticed that many property lots won’t allow factory homes on it, why is that? How long do mobile, modular, and factory homes last? Prefer answers from homeowners who have actually owned these types of homes, and have a first hand knowledge of them, from their own experiences.

Some thoughts on modular homes?

Posted by admin on June 19th, 2009

I'm interested in possibly building/buying a modular home. I did some research online but I can't seem to find some information I need to be able to price out the final costs. Does the price of the home include the plumbing and electric? Does it include WAIR/CAIR? The added costs would include hiring a plumber/electrician to hook up everything, someone to pour foundation, driveway, etc. Am I forgetting some major costs?
If anyone has a modular home, I'd appreciate the feedback!

Cost to prepare site for modular home??

Posted by admin on June 10th, 2009

I'm interested in budying a modular home. How much does it cost to prepare the site for electrical and plumbing and all of that? Is that something that is included in the modular home price? If not, is it 5K or 50K? I'm not sure where to find this info.
For example: Say you buy land for 50K and a modular home for 90K for a total of 140K on a flat piece of land….how much extra will you be paying to have your home up to 100%?
If anyone has an answer to this, I'd greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks.
