Buying a Pre-Owned Manufactured Home
Many features found in new manufactured homes can be found in pre-owned homes, usually at a substantial savings. Although most pre owned homes are a good bargain, you can make a better buying decision if you know where to look, what to look for and what to be cautious about.
Check The Neighborhood
An established, well maintained home in a manufactured home community or
on private land is often a real value. Since a home's location is as
important as the home itself, you should carefully consider the
neighborhood and surrounding area before you buy a home.
If you are looking for a pre owned home in a rental community, check out
the neighborhood before you check out the home. Drive around to see if
the community has a neat, pleasant appearance and if most of the homes
are well maintained. Does it seem secure and friendly? Is the location
close to work, schools, shopping centers and churches?
Visit the rental community office and ask the manager about monthly fees
and what kind of approval is required for residence. Are there rules and
regulations concerning children or pets? What services and amenities are
offered? How many homes are listed for sale in the community? KME
Homes can also help answer these questions for you. Let us do the work
for you.
Pre owned manufactured homes located on private property can also
represent an excellent housing value. In some ways a pre owned home on
private land is easier to buy and move into than a new home. The
practical matters of getting permits and installing the manufactured
home have already been taken care of. KME Homes can find the home of
your dreams, we have access to all communities in the state of Michigan
and can help you search for your ideal home.
But as a prospective buyer, it's wise to take time to check with
building officials or the local planning department to ask about
up-to-date zoning laws, restrictions, water, utilities and sewerage
hookups.
For example, have any recent restrictions been placed on the property or
size of the home? Did zoning requirements change since the home was
placed on the property? Are there any new circumstances that might
affect the sale of a pre owned manufactured home?
