I then started exploring Modular housing (NOT a mobile or Manufactured ones) and found that they are built more stronger and efficient, mortgage lenders do not differentiate it, public records and MLS lists them as regular houses, personally visited their factories, seen met home owners who has been living in modular homes past 10+ years, almost all module companies offer a turnkey service that takes care of everything from preparing the site to permits to setting up the house.
