Prefabricated Modular Homes

I was doing some research on factory built homes and found out there is more types of houses than I previously thought. The one that interested me the most was Modular homes. I have never owned a house before and would like any information I can get, especially about Modular and similar types.

I know that you would Definately Not go wrong for buying a modular home. My fiance and I bought a 1991 modular Palm Harbor home about 3 yrs. ago. It was already on 6 acres of land. We remodeled it a bit to fit the size of our family. We added an extra bedroom and put in a Kuma wood stove instead of electric heat. We live about 85 miles south of the British Columbia border where it gets mighty cold in the middle of winter, sometimes -40 degrees. We heat our 1800 sq. ft. modular home with one little old wood stove and most times I have to open windows or doors, because it's so well insulated. I've been in these new junk community neighborhood homes and I wouldn't give you two cents for one. I love my modular home and to me they're priceless. Like any other home of course, if they're not taken care of they can fall apart, but if taken care of then it's sure to last your lifetime.
If you go to Palm Harbor Homes they can steer you in the right direction for one. Ours is an older Palm Harbor. Our siding is Hardy Board and it's fireproof. If you choose to buy one through Palm Harbor then you can let them know what colors you want, what flooring, walls, appliances, etc. I PROMISE you wont go wrong. Not to mention they're much cheaper and extrememly better built than the JUNK they're putting up now days. Just go to www.palmharborhomes.com and check them out, they'll answer all your questions.
