Manufactured homes come in single, double, and triple sections to offer different space options. Modular homes can be built for remote areas, offering housing solutions in otherwise inaccessible locations. Mobile homes may be taxed as personal property rather than real estate unless on a permanent foundation.
Financing mobile homes can be tricky, as they may be considered "chattel" loans, with higher interest rates. Modular home businesses are expanding into commercial sectors, including schools and hospitals.
