A Manufactured Home Can Make a Great Starter Home

Manufactured homes can be a good starter home for the following reasons:

• The average cost of a manufactured home is roughly half that of a stick-built home.
• A manufactured home can often be ordered, delivered, set up, and ready to move into in four to six weeks, and sometimes faster, if you go for a model the dealer has on hand. All manufactured homes must be built to HUD/FHA construction standards, making financing with low down and market rates possible.
• You can get manufactured homes with more than 2,000 square feet of living space in two and three sections with slide-outs, garages, and other options.
• Manufactured homes mounted on permanent foundations in good areas tend to hold their value and will most likely appreciate.
