Benefits of Living in a Manufactured Home

Options for Customization

Whether you’re dreaming of the perfect first home or planning your retirement home, the options for personalization of a model are almost limitless.

Lower Taxes

Another advantage to owning a manufactured home is lower taxes since the homes are located in a land lease community you do not pay property taxes.

Affordability

One of the main benefits of investing in manufactured homes is their relative affordability. Usually, these homes cost much less compared to traditional homes of the same size and style.

Versatility

Manufactured homes allow long-term options. Since manufactured homes can be extremely affordable, families who own an appropriate site can start small, with the option of adding additional manufactured modules as their needs change.

Structural Strength

Manufactured homes are built under the HUD code adopted in 1976. It is the only federally-mandated and administered code that exists, and it was specifically developed to address the factory production process, as well as to require that homes meet standards for “structural design, construction, fire safety, energy efficiency, and transportation from the factory to the customer’s home site,” according to the Manufactured Housing Institute.

Construction Timetable

Buying a manufactured home can mean moving into your own home faster. The timetable can be as short as 60-75 days for a home to be move-in ready since the home has pre-made sections, and the final installation moves rapidly.
