If you are new to the world of manufactured housing, you might be unaware of the various options available to homeowners. One popular choice is purchasing a mobile home with land. Let's explore why this option appeals to many homeowners and how you can get started on finding your dream mobile home with land!
How to Begin Your Search
First and foremost, you need to decide on the kind of environment that interests you. Would you prefer to buy land within a community, or are you looking for a more secluded setting? Let's dive into the two options.
Purchasing Land Within a Community
Some communities offer the opportunity to buy a lot and move a home onto it. Alternatively, you might find home and land combinations for homes already available. However, in most cases, you will still need to pay a monthly fee to either the management company or a homeowners association (HOA). This fee usually covers amenities like lawn care and trash services.
Buying Private Land
If you prefer a more secluded environment, purchasing private land and siting your new mobile home might be the way to go. According to Ben Nelms of ManufacturedHomes.com, this option can save you 20 to 30% compared to a site-built home. However, it's essential to research your local and state regulations and requirements. Specific permits may be necessary for construction, sewage, water, and electric setups. Additionally, you'll need to consider the foundation options available for your mobile home.
Home and Land Options
If you'd rather skip the hassle of siting a home, or if you're pressed for time, you can explore home and land options offered by local mobile home dealers and retailers. These options allow you to choose your desired home from their inventory, and they will assist you throughout the entire process. For example, Village Homes of Austin provides customers with flexible floor plans and sizes to meet their needs, ranging from one to five-bedroom homes.
