The Manufactured Housing Forums

Is everyone else who is looking into buying a manufactured home being asked to pay out $55-$60 for a credit report?

No, I have been looking recently, without this requirement.

Which companies do this?

An Oakwood dealer

Hello Judy,

I would encourage you to look at a different manufacturer then Oakwood Homes. They have a poor reputation in the industry and poor service.

Randy,
Now tell me who in Virginia can make me a home with the floor plan I want that Oakwood has? It is the Step Down Den Model...they say it is a 2001 model but I think it is a 2000. Also, may be under the name The Augusta. It is a beautiful home . It is over 2000 sq.ft. and has 4 br....3 bath... It suits my needs to a T.. Any suggestions??

Hello Judy,

Here is a section from my book, "One way to cover up a poorly built home is to hide it behind a lot of fluff. Some retailers professionally decorate their display models, this is impressive but can be misleading. I am not against showing homes with furniture but you need to look past the furniture, decorations and focus on how the home is built. Don’t make the mistake of buying a poorly constructed manufactured home. Choose a well-built manufactured home that has quality brand name products. This will allow you to enjoy your new home for many years without unnecessary repair bills. The biggest frustration for many is spending thousands of dollars for repairs when your home is only 3 or 4 years old."

Manufacturers I would recommend in your area are: Four Seasons Homes, Pine Grove, Fairmont Homes and Palm Harbor. Hope this helps.

Can I take the floor plan I want to say Palm Harbor and have it duplicated.
Also, Now I am being told Palm Harbor is not what it used to be.....I am so confused.

Where are the dealers in VA that sell Fairmont, Pine Grove, ETC??????
