Modular homes?

Question

thinking of buying a true modular home, what should i look out for, who do you recommend, greensboro nc

Answer 1

Be on the lookout for little EXTRAS.....like a garage, septic field, putting the furnace/central air in the basement instead of on the first floor, a basement, PERIOD...putting the laundry in the basement as opposed to on the first floor,landscaping, single-hung windows (as opposed to the now popular double-hung style),  and don't forget the MOST important issue, and that is---whatever price they quote you, that price applies to being placed on property that you have already acquired!  They DO NOT supply the lot.  Other than that, have fun.

Answer 4

Within the past year, a relative of mine bought a new modular and had it put on a full foundation.  All of the walls and ceilings were drywall, with 8' high ceilings.  I was impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship.  It cost about $100,000.

I have had some experience with mobile homes and modulars.  I am a retired claims adjuster.
