Advantages of owning a Mobile Home.
Article by stratton
Buying a mobile home is a good alternative to own your own home without carrying the burden of debt that comes from purchasing a stick built home. Today mobile homes are generally designed very competitively in comparison to conventional homes and can offer a wide array of features including vaulted ceilings, pony walls, kitchen islands and walk in pantries.
Mobile homes are not easy to finance through a traditional bank loan so in order to finance the home you will either need to do owner financing or finance through the dealership.
If you want to purchase land to move your home to it is easier to finance land itself than the mobile home sitting on it. However before you buy land, check with the local authorities to ensure the property is zoned for mobile homes. It is also a good idea to find out how far out utilities are because it can be very costly to have power, water and sewer lines brought into the property and hooked up.
Another cost to factor in when planning your purchase is how the home will be set up. In order to maintain the value and structural integrity of the home it should be placed on a foundation. Without a foundation a home can easily become damaged as the ground shifts in certain places but not uniformly resulting in floors that slant, doors that come unhinged and will not close properly and other more major structure damage that can render a home unsafe to inhabit.
If you are planning to move your home to a park the legwork will already be done for you. Most parks have foundations and utilities all ready for hook up and it is simply a matter of moving the home to the location. Mobile homes located in parks will not necessarily hold their value since the land underneath them is rented while mobiles on private land generally will see some increase in value especially if the home is well maintained.
Which ever option you choose however you will have a home for the fraction of the cost of a mortgage with a lower tax base than a stick built home and with the money you save you can afford the lifestyle you want to live.
