Manufactured housing is not the “trailers” of yesteryear.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Today’s Manufactured homes offer many desirable features that crush<\/i> the perception of a trailer.  Basically, these homes are made of the same components as traditional site-built homes, drywall, OSB board and lumber etc.     <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nSo, what are the differences?<\/span><\/h4>\n

The biggest differences between manufactured housing verses site-built homes can be summed up in TWO words, “CODE” and “COST”.<\/span><\/p>\n

   <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Let’s take a CLOSER LOOK —<\/span><\/h4>\n

Manufactured built housing is primarily built with typical materials to perform in specific manner–<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

\n
• BUILT PER HUD CODE Federal Code that supersedes the UCC under Federal inspection<\/span><\/li>\n
• Built in a climate-controlled facility where materials are kept out of the elements<\/span><\/li>\n
• To perform in such a manner that meet wind zone, snow load and thermal zones for the location where the home is to be installed<\/span><\/li>\n
• Made to be EASILY transportable to homesite<\/span><\/li>\n
• Constructed assembly line to minimize expenses and streamline processes which lowers cost <\/span><\/li>\n
• Typically, 30% less expensive than stick built homes per square foot<\/span><\/li>\n
• Less expensive to own and maintain<\/span><\/li>\n
• Can appreciate in value if maintained properly<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Traditional \/ Stick built housing is built with a prescriptive method using specific components<\/span><\/u>–<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • BUILT PER UNIFORM CONSTRUCTION CODE under Local\/State Inspections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    • Built outside in the elements where there is little to no protection form moisture on the structure as it’s being constructed<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Meets designated code to for wind and snow loads <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Constructed on the homesite<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Costs per square foot vary but are much higher than Manufactured \/ Factory Built<\/span><\/li>\n
    • More expensive to own and maintain <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Appreciates at a higher rate <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n  <\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Manufactured or Factory Built homes are designed to be a more affordable option to site-built homes; yet still provide quality for consumers that want to own their home rather than rent.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Today’s manufactured homes can travel down the highway at 60 MPH with sustained wind and stay in one piece. So they will hold up in that storm with 60 + MPH wind gusts.<\/span><\/p>\n

      So, don’t dismiss an affordable option just because you are not familiar with the product and options.  Check them out you may find your new home!<\/span>
      \n <\/p>\n
