Thinking of investing in Modular Homes

[Benjamin K.]

What do you guys know about modular homes? Is it a great alternative to stick-built? I feel like if I bought a small amount of land somewhere where it's cheap and have a modular home assembled there, it could save tons of money and be a great investment. Especially if I didn't try to customize it in any way, and got one of the sort of standard, mass-produced one-size-fits-all ones...

Do you guys know, is the financing any different? With the cost of a septic system, electrical, etc., is it still way cheaper than a stick-built ones? I feel like these modular homes could sort of be the future...especially in some developing area, or perhaps overseas. Please, give me your thoughts.
