Beginner’s Guide to Buying a Manufactured Home
Buying a home is a big step, and if you’re just starting out, manufactured homes can be a great option! They’re affordable, stylish, and built to last, but the process can feel a little confusing if it’s your first time. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the basics so you know exactly what to expect!
1. What Is a Manufactured Home?
Think of a manufactured home as a normal home built inside a factory instead of outdoors on a jobsite. Once it’s finished, it’s delivered to your land or community in perfect condition. The best part? They’re built under strict HUD standards, so you can count on quality and safety!
2. Set Your Budget
Before you fall in love with a floor plan, figure out how much you want to spend. Manufactured homes are usually much more affordable than traditional homes, but the price can vary based on size, features, and land. Talk to one of our financing experts to learn more!
3. Pick a Floor Plan You Love
One of the fun parts is choosing how your mobile home will look inside. Do you want open living areas? Extra bedrooms? A big kitchen? Whether you need something cozy or a roomy multi-section home, there’s a floor plan to match your lifestyle, and plenty of ways to customize it!
4. Decide Where It Will Go
Your home needs the right spot! You can place it on private land, which gives you more freedom, or in a manufactured home community, where you’ll often find amenities and a neighborhood feel. Just be sure to check local rules — some areas allow modular homes but not manufactured homes.
