If there is a chance that you might relocate your home to another state, find out about state laws covering transportation of manufactured homes. Some states, particularly eastern states, have certain regulations, such as weight, size, or width limitations, that may prevent you from moving your home. Before you purchase, check with the appropriate authorities in the states through which you may want to transport your home. Of course, if you do move your home you will be faced with extra expenses. Besides transporting costs, which include licensing fees to take your home through a state, you again will have the cost of foundation construction, installation, and utility hookups.
Manufactured homes have many options and features for a variety of floor plans.
Some home models and manufacturers offer more custom options than others. Ask your retailer what options are offered on homes he sells. Most manufactured homes are sold with a refrigerator and range. Central air conditioning also is an option. Be sure your energy package is designed for the climate zone where your home is located.
