What is a Manufactured Home and How Does it Differ From
a True Off Frame Modular Home?

A Manufactured Home (also known as a Mobile Home or Trailer) is a Single Wide, Double Wide, Triple Wide, multi-sectional home built on a permanent frame, like a steel undercarriage/chassis, with a removable transportation system (hitch and wheels). The unit is permanently attached to a site-built foundation and is subject to the 1976 federal standards established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
These generally are harder to get a home loan on though there are still mortgage products available: FHA & VA home loans available on these types of properties. Go to http://www.mtgbuy.com.
A True Off Frame Modular home is constructed in a factory using conventional home floor joists and delivered to a site on a trailer or flat bed truck. The delivered home may be in the form of panels that are assembled at the site, may be pre-cut and assembled on site, or may be pre-built and delivered in one piece. The home, panels or pre-cut panels are lifted from the trailer and attached to a foundation. A True Off Frame Modular home may be single or multi-storied. A True Off Frame Modular homes are not subject to HUD standards, but must be built to state and local Uniform Building Codes.
