Who can tell you if its a manufactured home or modular?

Question

I need help, I have a property in PG County and the home was built in 1970, no records anyware state it is a modular or manufactured home?? The seller purchased it as a modular but we have no proof?? I am trying to sell this home what do I do to see if its a modular??? help

Answer 1

It will be modular, or a trailer.  The modular home will have a wooden undercarriage, the trailer will have a steel.  The reason it cant be a manufactured home is that "manufactured homes" have HUD tags, and have to be made to specifice standards.  The tags and "manufactured" designation did not come out until a law was passed in 1978.

Answer 2

The builder should be listed on the title.
