Buying a brand new house is a bit like buying car in its first year of production: you will be the guinea pig dealing with recalls, manufacturing defects, and unanticipated problems...whereas, if you buy a car that's been in production for 10 years, there's a better chance that the manufacturer has ironed out many of those problems ....or, that the problems have manifested and the car has a poor reputation for reliability--which steers you away (pun intended) from purchasing the car.It's also somewhat common for older houses to be "rehabbed" by flippers who use shiny new materials to cover up or distract from serious underlying problems.

His course awards the Certified Manufactured Home Manager designation (MHM).

They are placed on low stemwalls and are viewed as stick-built homes (not a vehicle like a manufactured or mobile home).Either way you go, the land development is what is going to slow you down and cost the most!
