Looking for informed opinions about modular housing

[Terrence Evans]

Hi all,

This is not my normal forum but I was curious if someone could give me insight into modular homes.  (Not mobile/manufactured homes)  I want to understand what the total costs and concerns are.  I am not a builder so I have that disadvantage but I am familiar with many of the pieces that go into a home.  I am an engineer so I can figure out the details.  The markets that I am interested in perhaps using modular homes are in S. California/Vegas and in Indiana.  So if you can give me some tips or resources / websites I can look at to educate myself that would be great.
