The fact that you roped modular homes into this category is criminal. 1. You can get regular financing with modular homes (IRC code) 2. They are built to the same code as stick built homes. Sincerely, someone who grew up in one of these homes and in a family that's sold them since 1995. Do better research.

@@zippymufo9765 metal prefab shells around 1600 sq ft cost about 35-50k depending on the layout complexity. it isn't cheap, the cost savings really only exist if you are in the trades and can do majority of the work with just yourself and a helper. i'm a drywall taper by trade but i have done a bit of everything in terms of home building over the years. i'd just need to sub in electrical, plumbing and hvac. the big attraction for me is the initial metal building shell cost being so low due to it just bolting together. the labor cost is a fraction of a stick home for the initial shell. me and a couple buddies can put it together over a weekend with a rented scissor lift. waterproofing them is also a fraction of the cost of cladding then waterproofing a stick home. they come certified to meet building code in your region (if you deal with a reputable company), and they pretty much last forever. it's honestly the way i think home building is going in the future. there is a reason why commercial industry switched over from stick, brick and mortar many years ago. and economy of scale has just made this method of building even cheaper and more accessible, making it a great alternative building method for homes. the only actual downside is a metal roof in the rain is rather loud. but you can just put high RSI factor insulation above your ceiling drywall. upside of the metal roof is it'll last forever.

Currently live in a modular with a mortgage. It's looked at as a single family home. It's got 2x6 walls, just like my neighbors stick built house. There's a huge misconception between manufactured and modular homes. They're not the same thing, modulars are easy to finance as they are really no different than any other stick built home.

We decided to downsize after our last child moved out, and put a deposit down on a manufactured home. That month our stick built row house property was worth 275k-315k, depending on how well we did with minor repairs, prep(declutter, and staging) and market fluctuations. A year later when we got notification that our home would be done by a certain month, our house value soared because of covid. Our house eventually sold with multiple offers, for almost 2.5 times what we thought we'd get for it. We took delivery of our home on our preferred lot with fewer neighbors, and almost half a mill in investments. We have heard horror stories about the shipping container homes, so we steered clear of those, but our prefab...so far, is great. Yes, they did cheap out on some materials(kitchen has paper covered cabinets over sawdust), but right now it looks great, cuz we upgraded to solid surface countertops(kitchen & 2 bathrooms), and stainless appliances. If we have to redo our kitchen in 5 years, and spend 30k, we're still light years ahead of where we would've been if we stayed in our previous home, so for us, it was a game changing investment. This will be the home we both die in, so I don't care how much we lose on depreciation, but even if it tanks, my kids will still have a vacation spot over a lake, and it's paid for.

Their homes are really nice, extremely well built, and priced competitively. They will likely refer you to a local builder to put in your foundation and to do necessary site work. Once the site work is done and foundation prepped, they will set the house with a crane. Once it's set the marriage walls will be finished, any flooring will be finished, and you can move in.

This sounds more like a cautionary take on making sure you only hire contractors of modular homes who have been vetted to an excruciating detail.

It was mostly a positive experience as they have their own architects and did all the plans and design work for $2000 aud ($1400us). The home was steel frame and was delivered to my lot in four stages. It included all of the frame , windows, siding , drywall , doors, trims and fixings to put it together, I hired my neighbour and put it together in a couple of months. They also have advisors that advise you if any problems or questions. There were a couple of issues that came up but they addressed them satisfactorily at their cost.. the kit was $52,000 Aud ($36,000US) and they now sell them in home depot in the US.. I would do it again as it was a positive experience and the home I built is a very nice place,,,

@@greenness7387 I echo this, from Aus, especially in current economy! Care to share any nuggets from your research?

Wow... I guess I was expecting too much. This video offers very little value or facts. As stated these are his opinions. His claim selling a modular home (a manufactured home without steel i-beams supporting the floor structure on a permanent foundation) can be problematic.... is for the most part false. Yes, if you put a modular home with the same identical visual characteristics and identical build quality of a manufactured mobile home despite the absence of steel i-beams the market (what buyers are willing to pay for what looks like a mobile home), not lenders will dictate its value compared to similar site built structures. A reputable modular home builder will ensure the structure meets or exceeds all building codes and regulations for the city or county where the home will be placed and attached to a permanent foundation. Anyone doing business with a new modular home builder, not some camping structure Rob somehow tied into a video about residential homes, could indeed run into issues before, during, or after the home has been attached to the property. Those doing business with a new out of state modular home builder really need to vet the company. Exhaust every resource you have to ensure the company is legally doing business, bonded, insured, is in compliance (with all laws, codes, and building regulations), has no documented complaints (if they do ensure complaints have been resolved), ask for customer references, ask for photos of completed projects - delivered and set up, and above all ensure all costs are itemized in writing before signing anything. As the buyer you are responsible for ensuring you can put a modular home or manufactured home (aka mobile home) on your site. A survey will be required to determine where the foundation for the home can be placed with regards to setbacks and the geology of the site. Trucks will need access to the site, a crane will need solid ground beneath its outrigger support pads, cement delivery for the foundations, etc, etc,... The home being built for you must meet or exceed the codes and regulations for your site location. Some municipalities have vague and/or odd requirements. Nevertheless these must be adhered to by the builder, and ultimately the homeowner. Protect yourself by including an attachment of the building codes and requirements, with each page signed and dated by you and the builder with the purchase contract. If the builder tries to claim certain codes or regulations do not apply to your build, walk away and file a complaint with your states building regulations department. Modular homes must comply with all the same residential codes and regulations. Above all ensure you know the difference between a modular and mobile. In the late 80s the mobile home industry started calling themselves the manufactured home industry. While "manufactured homes" applies to both modular and mobile as they're both manufactured, there are critical differences between the two. A modular home, unless attached to a legal permanent foundation as defined by the local building code may be considered personal property or in violation of code despite not arriving on its own wheels. In such an instance the home is in violation, likely to be red tagged and will cost money out of your own pocket to remedy. I saw this happen when a homeowner decided to save money buy using concrete block piers. He then used cement board and stucco to make it appear as though the home was on a full foundation. When the inspector arrived after all setup and finishing was complete to complete the homes final inspection for to obtain the occupancy permit, he noted the fake foundation and immediately sealed the doors, the home was red tagged. The homeowner had to pay for a crane, rent flatbed trailers, removed each section of the house, poured a legal foundation, and set the house back up. The modular home builder was investigated for delivering the home knowing the foundation was in violation. They paid a fine. If a builder is willing to look the other way while a homeowner attempts illegal works, you don't want to do business with them. The one good piece of information in this video is looking out for hidden costs. Every last cost must be broken down within the contract. One cost, almost always overlooked, is working with the city and/or county to move signs, street lights, and traffic lights and the utility companies for their overhead lines. The power company will not touch the telephone, cable, or fiber optic lines. Each utility company must be contacted. Unless all aspects of delivery are 110% handled by the builder and listed in the contract, its your responsibility to choose a route to avoid obstacles, low overpasses, and weight and/or width restricted bridges and roads. Again every aspect of travel must be itemized in the agreement. Don't accept a line stating "delivery included". What their including must be itemized. The same is true for set-up. Ensure all interior and exterior finishing is included or excluded in writing within the contract. As well as ensuring someone is there to connect the utilities to the delivered home. If there is no power the workers can't get busy finishing the interior and exterior. This video content is more about ADUs rather than your typical modular home. There are many well established and reputable modular home builders. Due to the many differences in building codes and requirements between states, as well as regional climate differences you're not likely to find a home builder in Florida for your site in Oregon. They'll be upfront about the states, cities, and counties they build homes for. Yes there is always a newcomer ready to shake up the industry. These players often tout new methods and/or materials to "revolutionize the industry". If your looking to build your new home on a budget, they're not for you. Particularly if you can't afford to take a risk the home may be severely delayed or is never delivered if the company goes bust, a budget which keeps climbing, your scsmmed, or the home needs to be extensively rebuilt or replaced in a few years time due to material failure and/or construction issues. Stick with reputable established builders. Don't choose a modular with an identical mobile twin. It will always look like a mobile home. Looking like a mobile home can equate to double digit value percentage loss compared to neighboring homes. These mobile/modular twins have low roof pitch, short eves, low windows, tiny bump outs, and odd dormers all of which screams mobile home. Invest in a modular home with hinged eves, hinged roof, and hinged gable ends. Having normal eves, full length gable ends, and a steeper pitch alone sets a modular apart from a mobile. Smart design changes and proper roof dimensions and pit, with a well planned recessed foundation, will pay for itself in a few years as the home appreciates in value at the same, similar, or higher (thanks to their super insulation) rate than comparable site built homes. Don't stop at the roof..... Do your best to add attic dormers, upgrade the windows and alter the size of a few to be more inline with stick built homes. Manufacturers of modular and mobile love to use the same cheap double hung window all around the home. Look closely and you'll see every window, except static, kitchen, and bathroom windows are the same size. Thinking you'll save now by changing windows later will cost as much a five times the amount due to structural alterations necessary to accommodate new window sizes. If resale and visual appearance are not a concern, choose the slightly less expensive mobile option if your site does not have a restriction on mobile homes. These modular/mobile twin are identical on the surface. There is a lot more for serious buyers to research on this topic. All in all this video is, as stated, an opinion piece. Do not let his opinions dissuade you from researching modular home options. The manufactured home industry is much greener than site built homes. Yes, lower cost homes have cheap finishes which look nice to start.....but ultimately need remodeling much sooner than a site built home. At the same time we are seeing entry level site built homes with the same cheap finishes found in entry level mobile and modular homes. Both have upgrade options. Some items are worth upgrading during the build due to the costs to upgrade later being much more for various reasons. While many items may be cheaper to upgrade yourself later. Cheers.

I think people who have done it glam it up for views and likes. Not saying it cant be done but either way its an investment and a lot of work. No regular ol mo shmo can just waltz on into a tiny home and live for cheap. Gotta do your homework, definitely need saving and most of the time will need a form of higher education to be able to work from home or have a means to travel into the city for work. They show a lot of the finished product and downplay what it really took to get there.

I don't think you actually understand what pre-fab homes are. You can buy million dollar pre-fab homes that look like every other house in suburbia. I think what you're thinking of are tiny-homes, container homes, or tiny homes on wheels. All pre-fab means is pre-fabricated - which can equially be a 2500sqft+ home built into the ground. They are delivered in components and assembled in place.

I’m 39 and my dream is to one day have my first home as a prefab, under $100k if possible from a reputable source. Right now the best thing to do is to keep learning more about these type of unique homes. Thanks Robuilt for this decent and informative video on the subject :).

Most of what he said though is wrong. It wasn't informative, it was misleading. Do your homework...visit the factory where the homes are built...double check with your municipality to ensure that they allow Prefab homes...and get a reputable building to install the home if the manufacturer does not do so. You will be ok.

Yeah, I think this is very specific to a certain strain of like hip modern prefab homes. There are more modular home companies out there that are more legit and cheaper, especially in shells, that some banks (including Rocket, and including FHA) will approve as long as you get enough of it completed that they aren't so scared about the investment (ie they feel they have sufficient collateral)

We had a twister that came through town and there's a prefab house from home Depot that was completely unfazed by the storm which was what peaked my interest in them

Tennessee has great options for what they call "Code Compliant Sheds". These are sheds that have been engineered and approved by the state for conversion to habitable structures. You do have to check with the local jurisdiction to make sure that they are allowed, but in most cases they can be permitted as dwellings. Typically they are built my Mennonites and there are many dealers throughout the state. I have been working with Mast Utility Barns in Crossville, TN and they have been great to work with. We are putting three cabins on 20 acres in Walling, TN near Rock Island State Park.

Essentially, a 3 story 300 square foot House on a 400 square foot lot. Have a backyard for grilling, few plants to grow vegetables and have a space for a side garage area. That would be my dream home.

At this point, if I were ever to do a "prefab" I'd just buy land, put a barndominium shell down, and build a home inside of it and just not tell anyone. Sure it's not really a prefab, but it's the only way the price would make sense.

I believe prefab homes are the future!

Super fan here. So glad you did a video on this! I've been spending way too much time staring at Honomobo models lately. Love Den Outdoors as well. I've also been considering Avrame as their prices seem reasonable. With Avrame, if you're building in California though, due to state laws, you can only buy the structure (basically the A-shaped trusses) and you have to source all other parts locally. So I wonder if lenders would view that as more like a traditional home and be willing to finance it? Planning to book a consultation soon!

I am always tickled by the fact that so many people think that this concept of prefab homes is so new, and awesome and exciting. But people forget that during the latter part of the nineteenth Century going into the early 20th century Sears Roebuck and Company had been already doing prefab houses. As a matter of fact you used to be able to purchase your home out of a catalog and Sears Roebuck and Company would send you all of the lumber Nails screws joiners and anything else you needed to put their kit style home together. So none of this is truly a New Concept it's just been repackaged cleverly in a different way.

Home Depot has them. They're about 65k. Frame only. A 2 bed, 2 bath loft with kitchen, LR and DR and decking. I'd heard figure twice the cost, plus 10%

For glamping or tent living, I've looked into all kinds of yurts, teepees, domes, etc., and the best I've seen so far is a Yome from Red Sky Shelters. It's cheap per square foot, looks easy to put up and take down, seems durable and has a relatively low carbon footprint. Downsides are you have to come up with your own foundation and set up some sort of outhouse.

Isn't it funny how information becomes available after it's not relevant anymore? At least is not too late, so I'm glad. I researched the crap out of this and I recognized every single model on your intro. Can't wait to see the outcome.

been looking into Pre-fabs for a while and it definitely feels like the reputable builders aint cheap. if you want to build a tiny house it may be cheaper to go stick.

Many employers allow their employees to fill up at work for free.

You may have to pay the utilities company. Check with your local county, they do determine whether or not you are required to have septic/grid or if you can get away with a compost toilet (bucket + sawdust). For example: Pierce County, WA requires all new homes to be connected to the grid & septic/sewer. Chelan County, WA on the other hand only requires your house to be bigger than 7x10, but it’s okay to have an outhouse cause no requirements on bathrooms, electricity, or water.
