Financing Your Manufactured Home

Not as easy as they make it out to be. Here is the press release from the Michigan Manufactured Housing Association. If it was so easy everyone could/would get a loan.

FL Developer Is Building With Modular Homes


A local Florida developer is building a new subdivision in Ft. Pierce using modular homes instead of site built. The article is here at tcpalm.com. From the feedback on the article, the developer is getting a lot of crticism for not using block construction and for not being "affordable" enough. The homes meets the state's requirement for wind load.

Less than $190,000 seems affordable to me. I just need to remember the critics are not his target market. People who want an affordable well-built home for around $1,500 per month are the developer's market. Good luck to Strong and Quality LLC on their project.
