In fact generally an appraiser will have no idea of the difference as there really isn't one.Financing as well will treat your home no different then a stick build, generally there is no variation available between stick & modular appraisals, financing, or real estate agents forms and processes.This is assuming that what you are looking at is a modular and not a mobile or manufactured home.Some of the early modular's had poor designs and looked like a mobile home down to the paneling in the walls.

That is one of the big things with BRRRR, very rarely do you get proper "credit" on the appraisal for making the home a lot better condition wise then the comps.
