The decision to purchase and own a manufactured home is as important as finding
a ready-built home. There are questions you need to ask a dealer before making
any down payments.
The first thing you should do is figure out what type of manufactured home you
need. Will you need a single-wide, a double-wide or a triple-wide home?
Then check your credit and budget for what you can afford. Just like purchasing
a site-built home, a dealer will want to know your financial status.
When you make the trip to a manufactured-home dealer, check out the staff. Are
they courteous and professional? Will they easily answer any questions you might
have? You don’t want to buy a home from a dealership that is interested only in
making a quick sale.
Ask if you can tour any of the homes they have on site. Is the home well constructed?
Are there any signs that the home has been previously owned? Try to find out about
some of the materials used to build the home. Are they high- quality materials?
See if the dealer can provide any warranties on the home. You might also ask if
they know what kind of insurance you might need to buy for your new home. Be sure
to have everything you need outlined in a contract. Make sure they can deliver
the home to the community that you’ve chosen. Don’t assume that delivery is implied
in the contract.
Buying a home is a big decision, so carefully research your investment.
