Homeowners who complain about the depreciation of their pre-fabricated dwelling could have avoided many pitfalls if they had made the right decisions at the time of purchase. It is important to do the homework and know exactly what elements to include in the purchase in order to achieve equity and regard the purchase as an investment. This makes it much easier for selling a manufactured home in the long run.
While trailer parks often offer free move-in specials, having ones investment placed in such a location can make selling it more difficult later. If the plan is to keep the property as a rental, then having it in a park will not be as much of a hang-up. However, while in-between renters, one can expect to be paying the lot rent and maintaining lawns and structures on the property.
Subdivisions and neighborhoods with estate-sized lots of two to ten acres are preferred by anyone shopping for a used residence. Rural communities often boast a plethora of such communities, and many of them will only accept a double-wide or larger home. Having a 2,000 to 3,000 square foot manufactured house on two or more acres is a dream home for many.
The small single-wide dwellings are not accepted by all parks, as they are regarded as a fire hazard. This is especially true when the place is kept as a rental property since many renters do not take good care of the place in which they live. By having restrictions against single-wides, or homes past a certain age, the park hopes to maintain a high-end neighborhood where fires and accidents do not happen.
Central heat and air is a trait which helps any house maintain value for resale. Some of these homes have very thin walls and simply do not hold in heat or cold; especially from space heaters or window units. Window units can drip moisture in the window, causing damage, as well.
There are variations in style and quality of these housing alternatives, and this is an element which should be addressed. For instance, some of the less-expensive styles have walls that are very thin; maybe half the thickness of the walls in a traditional stick-built home. Others have walls, inside and outside, which are thick as stick-built homes, and are often more efficient in their energy use than the cheaper models.
When buying it new, the customer is sometimes able to choose specific amenities which will help save on utilities such as a shingled roof, laminant wood flooring, and double-pane windows. Most of these dwellings to include a large garden-tub, but there are water-saver toilets as well as electronic on-demand water heaters available. Such touches increase the value and desirability of these homes.
Removing wall boards and hanging traditional sheetrock is great for improving insulation and increasing resale value. There are also options in skirting; including wood or a cinderblock wall covered with stucco to match the roof and trim of the house. By the time a person takes all of these options which are available, they will possibly never leave their pre-fab dream house in the country.
