Hi everyone! I'm looking into building a manufactured home and putting it on a foundation to sell as a home. I just wanted to know if anyone has any insights about the process, I saw that it has been done online. Thanks all :)!

Hi All,

I am looking to build out of state and wanted to know if any of you have experience using a construction supervisor? Was it needed? How much did it cost?

Thank you !

Take whatever budget you are given and add 20%. If looking at that new number scares you, then you may want to rethink doing the project.

But in all seriousness, add a contingency line item to your budget. We use anywhere from 5 - 10% depending on project flexibility. SFH are not incredibly complicated, but where they get tricky is how they interface with the ground at your particular site. May be a good idea to ask this question of your local building department to see if they have any knowledge of the particular site you are looking into developing.

 Thanks for taking the time to answer! I definitely will do go ahead and talk to them.  

Hi All!

I'm interested in building a modular SFH in the NJ area. I already have a builder and got a preliminary cost sheet. I was wondering if any of the more experienced investors out there have any idea of the additional costs that will come up during the project that they did not anticipate?

I'm trying to build and get an as detailed understanding of my budget and costs.

Thank you!!!
