Modular Homes | Manufactured Homes

  Modular Homes

   Modular Homes are built in sections, in a factory and then carried over to the building site where they are assembled on a foundation.

   It is important to appreciate the difference between modular homes and a manufactured home. The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, which can be very misleading.

   By contrast to a Modular Home, a manufactured home is normally built to the Federal Construction Safety Standards Act and referred to as HUD approved. This code requires homes to be constructed on a steel frame and are typically built in box like sections and transport to the site where there are anchored to a permanent foundation.

   Some communities have zoning restrictions on Manufactured Homes, so you need to check with your local authorities to find out if such restrictions apply to your community.

   A further complication with manufactured homes is the fact that most lenders will not loan on them, limiting your choice of lenders. Lenders that do finance manufactured homes will require an appraisal of the property that will use other manufactured home sales in the area as comparables.

   Modular Homes have no such restrictions. They are treated just like a conventional stick built home by local authorities, construction lenders and mortgage companies.
