5 Benefits of Manufactured Homes for First Time Home Buyers

September 23, 2020

Everything First Time Home Buyers Need to Know About Manufactured Homes

Homeownership will put your hard-earned dollars to work for you. Let your housing expenses work towards building equity in your own home so the benefit will be yours instead of benefiting your landlord. While you know this concept is true and something to aim for, it is out of reach often for those new to the home buying market. First time home buyers can rarely purchase the home of their dreams initially, BUT you can always work towards it!

If you jump for your “Dream Home” too soon, the mortgage payment could cause unsurmountable amounts of debt and the benefits of building equity will not be realized.

Perhaps you have found a pre-owned home you would love. You can get into trouble if you use up too much of your savings without allowances for unexpected repairs or replacements. The water heater could go out, the chimney could have a crack, or a storm may have ripped off shingles leaving you with an insurance deductible to come up with. First time home buyers need to consider funds for down payments, closing costs, moving expenses, and unexpected repairs and emergencies that could come up. It can be overwhelming.

There are, however, creative ideas to make homeownership a reality for first time home buyers. Do yourself a favor and carefully consider the benefits of owning a manufactured home.

Starting with a new lower-priced mobile home instead of a “starter/fixer-upper home” could be the homeownership solution for first time home buyers like you.

1. Finding Affordable Mobile Homes is EXTREMELY Easy

It is usually difficult to find a traditional home you can afford, be comfortable with, and located in a nice area. As a first time home buyer, more often than not, the home for sale you spotted is out of your price range.

Switch your focus to manufactured homes and you will find the process EXTREMELY easy! In comparison, the price of a mobile home is almost always less expensive and the location will be of your choice.

Mobile home financing is much more affordable than it is for a traditional home loan. Today, there are many mobile home financing options available for most qualified first home buyers. You can find mobile home financing through FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans –just to name a few.

2. Your Manufactured Home is Truly YOURS

You can rest easy knowing your manufactured home was tailor-made just for you. Just because manufactured homes are less expensive it does not mean they come with fewer amenities. There are many floor plans to choose from. You can incorporate features like whirlpools in bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and walk-in closets. Maybe you would like upgrades such as patios, decks and awnings on the exterior. Realize the dream of homeownership with a new mobile home fully customized to make it truly YOURS.

With a mobile home, you can move anywhere -you have TONS of flexibility! You love the home you have created, surrounded yourself with the colors, décor, and functional aspects that work for you. No worries! There’s no need for another mortgage or the need to recreate a space you love - you can take your mobile home with you!

5. Mobile Homes are Environmentally Friendly

A mobile home is built at the manufacturing plant instead of constructed on your property as a traditional home would be. The building materials left over from a traditional “stick-built” home on your property end up in a scrap pile to be discarded. Construction crews waste valuable supplies because it is time-consuming and expensive to salvage. Those valuable and useful building materials are efficiently put to good use at the mobile home manufacturing plant where many homes are being constructed. This is why manufactured homes are so affordable; they cost less to build.

Manufactured homes built today are energy-efficient making them friendly to your energy budget as well as environmentally friendly. And because similar homes are built one right after the other, a great deal of quality control covers all aspects of the construction. Your factory-built mobile home will rarely be delayed because of bad weather so completion dates will be known.
