I have both books offered here, been to the Silvercrest factory, many dealers, and searchred the Better Business Bureau site. Just when I think I'm ready to buy I find more info and feel like I'm back to the start of my search.
I'm going to put the home on a piece of flat property that I own, in the the southern California desrert. I have $100K for the whole project. I would like a double-wide 2 bedroom/2 bath around 1000sq.ft. with the structural upgrades: sprinklers are required, set-up for a heat pump or central A/C,2X6 walls, extra insulation, tape and textured 2X? 16" OC, plumbed for both electric and gas, vinyl dual glazed windows without grids, 30 lb. roof loading with a 4:12 pitch, wired for ceiling fans in 2 rooms, larger water heater, 200 amp service and elongated toilets. I would like to put it on a full slab (permanent foundation) with about 36" of clearance under the home for ease of future maintenance.
I've given up on the 2X8 floor joists and would probably go with 3/4" Credeck instead of the 5/8" OSB (would like plywood if offered), 96"walls, upgraded sinks.
My choices are: Cavco, Hallmark, maybe Palm Harbor. The good dealer intown seems to be about $9000 more on price fro a Hallmark.
Can I do this for $100K or less?
I understand fees and permits vary, but from what I do know : electric-$5000, water-$5000, septic-$4500, cement work-$9000.
What I figure is that the home will have to be about $60-$65K. I haven't ruled out a single wide but don't think the neighbors would like it.
Need HELP Please.
Thanks

Hi-
it's been almost 2 months since you posted. How is it working out? Have your estimates held up?
I'm looking to grade a slope to put a MH there and am starting to look into set up costs. Were your utilities really close to the property to start with?
Hope all worked out. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Debbie
