One thing is for certain when choosing a manufactured home: you need somewhere to place it. Choosing the perfect piece of land differs for modular homes in the sense that there can be a lot of moving parts involved. For example, many manufactured homes are delivered to rural areas that may not already come with services installed and land prepared. In this blog, we’re going to explore ways to secure land for your manufactured home that can save you time, money and stress.
Owned Land:
You can purchase land yourself and place your house there. Depending on the land you purchase or acquire, there are a few things you may need, including services and a driveway. Additionally, you may need to widen your approach, remove trees and prepare/install your foundation in preparation for the arrival of your new home.
Perhaps you have farmland in your family that your house can be placed on. You can lease land from a parent or family member, too. For example, parents may lease a quarter section of their farmland to their kids so they don’t need to purchase land and can be pre-approved at the bank.
Purchasing land tends to come with a few additional responsibilities that can become costly. However, if the land has sentimental value or your long term vision is to remain at that particular location, then it certainly can be worthwhile!
