The Manufactured Housing Forums

Since the I-house is, apparently, not doing so well, Clayton has come out with an e-home. Here is the link to their web site talking about the e-home. CLAYTON'S E-HOME Does anyone have any thoughts about this? The price is quoted online...as you change or add features in building yours, the price ch...

What was the outcome of this deal? I am curious as to what happened.

Are there any Skyline dealers in Texas?

I finally managed to find an I-house which was set up at a dealer. It is a very nice house, but probably small for a family.

No one here has bought this home yet? I am disappointed as I wanted to hear from someone who is actually already living in it.

I was wondering if anyone has bought one of these homes? Could you share with us about your experiences? If you are now living in the house, tell about that also please.
Thanks!

I was told the Patriot factory in Waco TX has closed, and the company has basically gone out of business. It was one of the homes I have looked at during the past year or so. How does anyone know how well a company is doing, particularly a private company who doesn't publish that information? The ot...

I heard on the news that the Federal Reserve is expected to lower another key interest rate from 1% to 1/2%. Will this lower the interest rate we might qualify for in buying a new home? If I said I wanted an fixed interest rate below 4% for a manufactured home, is this realistic or ever going to hap...
