Prefab house experiences

[Roger Verastegui]

I am a recent college graduate from UNC Charlotte and now that I have a degree in organizational management I would love to immerse myself more into the world of real estate investing. One idea that I have been pondering is buying a plot of land in a relatively good location with high odds of appreciation then placing a prefab house on top of it. Does anyone have experience with modular home builders, buying plots of land, or new construction? I would love to hear the opinions on prefab houses or stories, good and bad.

@Roger Verastegui as an architect turned contractor, traditional construction is a more affordable way to build that pre-fab. When the sq ft numbers for pre-fab are quoted, they typically don’t include the costs associated with site work, foundations, and utilities; they are only quoting the costs of the ‘boxes’ that get dropped on site.

Many jurisdictions still haven’t accepted pre-fab buildings as an approved construction type as well, which can lead to a longer and more difficult permitting process.

I would do my due diligence for sure before going down the prefab route
