When trying to select a modular home the
first place to start is at the factory level. Knowing which factories
deliver to your area is the first step in understanding your options.
The second and most important step is determining how the factories
compare to each other in the areas of: Quality Construction,
Design/Style, Appraised Value and Price.
The manufactured housing industry has made some serious
improvements in recent years regarding quality construction and
residential appeal. With modern day technology and assembly line
techniques, the industry is overcoming the misconception that
manufactured homes are poorly built and don’t measure up to stick-built
homes.
Knowing your financing options is the first step to
securing a good deal. We have spoken with hundreds of modular home
lenders and Mr. Eaton the author has gone through the process himself.

modular home. Not surprising with all the choices one must make from
negotiating with your builder to purchasing property and
site-improvements. This resource will reveal important negotiating
secrets and dealer profit margins that will give you an edge when
negotiating with your builder.

potential home buyers to walk through. These models are professionally
decorated to impress buyers with elaborate decorations, elegant
furniture and dazzling floorplans. Aesthetics are important but would
you purchase a modular home based on looks and compromise structural
integrity? Don’t be fooled by appearances and miss what really matters;
“Quality Construction.”
