I'd rather live in a trailer on acreage than a house with no yard.


Easily. I would have no issue living in one for a while.

It beats renting in Bend. If I didn't live really close to work, the traffic here would get old really fast.

Yep. When you say "manufactured" people think mobile homes on trailers. These are simply prepared offsite and brought onside and put together, every nail, every board is already accounted for.



Exactly, the traditional old school trailer doesn't exist anymore to my knowledge. In many ways they are built better than regular homes. Some are even built with 2 X 6 studs.

I haven't seen one up close lately but I'm told that modern manufactured houses are light years removed from the mobile homes friends used to live in when I was a kid. You could feel the thing move when the kids got rowdy inside.


They're built to residential specs.

I'd still have a hard time justifying spending $150k on one.

Imagine if those walls could talk.




When my grandfather first moved to the villages, he bragged that his house would go from slab to move-in ready in 90 days.

DSLD duct tapes their shacks together in half that time.

There's nothing wrong with manufactured homes, but I'd like to see resale values.

I am a big fan of modular homes. They have more lumber than a traditionally built home, the material is nailed and glued, they have independent inspections etc.

In East TN we could get an electrical inspection once a week. The labor was horrible. We opted to go modular for many of our homes.

We ordered modular units in VA and had them delivered for our condos and townhomes. Having an architect that has experience with them is key. Many of your college dorms are not being built modular. It allows them to start construction after the spring semester and be ready for use for the spring semester.

The middle class is getting murdered

Back when my parents parents were alive $200,000 bought you a very very nice home.
