Nope

Well we all were ready to move and accept our new home. But we couldn’t get financing because the home we wanted was a manufactured home. A manufactured house is a house built in a factory. The regular houses that everyone sees is called a stick built house.

What I learned is manufactured houses depreciate over time like a car. However stick built houses appreciate over time. Meaning you can potentially get more money when sold later. I also learned that our realtor should have been truthful and told us that it was a manufactured home. He should have told us that it will be hard to get financing for a manufactured house and we may have to pay more for insurance because it’s manufactured. This realtor is supposed to be the best in our area. I don’t think so. Will not be using that guy again. I learned not to use the same home inspector as we did. He really didn’t know about this one concerned we had about the house. Jeff found out more information on the internet than he could tell us. Not using that company again either.

It’s strange because I could see ourselves living there but when I found out we couldn’t get it, I wasn’t all that sad. I guess, I realized that I wasn’t in love with the house. I wish it had a basement. Manufactured houses usually do not have basements. And I got a lot of stuff to put in a basement.

The search is still on. Who knows where we will end up? I really like a home we can invest money into because we found out our landlord is raising our rent. That sucks. I rather spend money on my house and not this rented house.
