If you're new to the world of manufactured housing, you may be unaware of the various options available to you. One such option that has gained popularity among homeowners is buying a manufactured home with land. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of owning a mobile home with land and provide guidance on how to find the perfect property.
How to Get Started
First, you need to decide on the environment that suits your preferences. If you're interested in living within a community, some offer the option to purchase a lot and move a home in. Alternatively, certain communities provide home and land combinations for immediate occupancy. However, keep in mind that these options usually come with a monthly fee to cover amenities and services.
If you prefer a more secluded setting, you can purchase private land and then place your new mobile home on it. This option offers the advantage of substantial cost savings compared to traditional site-built homes. As Ben Nelms from Manufactured Homes.com puts it, "You are placing a manufactured home on the property that is equal or superior to a site-built, in every respect, and will cost you 20 to 30% less than that site-built."
However, be prepared to conduct thorough research on local and state regulations, permits, and requirements. Each area has specific guidelines regarding construction, utilities, and foundation options. Understanding these regulations is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful home placement.
Purchasing Land with an Existing Home
If you'd rather skip the hassle of siting a home or are pressed for time, purchasing private land with an existing home already sited can be an excellent option. Many local mobile home dealers and retailers offer home and land packages, making the process seamless and convenient. You can choose the home that suits your needs from their inventory, and they will handle the entire process for you.
According to Village Homes of Austin, they provide customers with flexible floor plans and sizes, ranging from one to five-bedroom homes. This allows you to build your dream home according to your specific requirements.
