Recycled houses? It seems cool?

[Kyle Varner]

Every once in every once in awhile I will drive past a house that I noticed I was moved there on a truck. It is a traditional post and beam Construction, not a mobile home. I got curious and hit up Google which feature stories of people buying these houses and having them removed and installed on their property for a price much lower than they can have a new house constructed.

Has anyone considered doing this for investment properties? Every once in a while I run across deals for very cheap buildable Lots or for Lots with house that absolutely needs to be demolished. Usually the new construction figures don't make it feasible. But maybe putting a recycled house on the lot would?

Has anyone ever done this? Or looked into it? It seems very interesting to me.
