The clear advantage of a standard home over a mobile home is its durability. A standard home can withstand more everyday hazards than a mobile homes and it is built to last. In addition, with your loan and any work you put into your home it is not expected to lose value over time meaning you will more than likely be able to sell your home at a profit. Finally, you can find yourself unique designs in these homes and not the standard cookie-cutter look of the mobile home.
