By visiting this, you’ve already taken the first step in purchasing a quality home in Michigan. Just like a car, you cannot purchase a new home directly from the manufacturer. New manufactured homes can only be purchased through licensed retailers like our members. As you browse through the websites of our members or visit their on-site sales locations, start thinking about your current and future housing needs. Begin the thought process with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you’ll need and continue with amenities, upgrades, and finishes.
Get through that process and our members’ professional sales teams can help you choose the perfect home for your lifestyle and budget.
Once you have found your dream home, you have multiple financing options available to you. There are two common ways of financing. When you are financing the land on which you’re placing the home along with the home itself, you’re likely to use a conventional land or land construction loan. If you’re financing just the home itself, you’ll probably use a chattel loan.
Our member business housing professionals can further explain the differences between the two types of loans and how things like a stronger credit score may help in your ability to find the right loan for you.
Here again, you have two choices:
The process does not stop when you sign a contract to purchase a home from us. If it is a new home, the manufacturer will give us an approximate delivery date. And If there are any changes on that date, we’ll contact you immediately.
And whether the home is new or preowned, the site where it will be installed has to be prepared for its placement. That means vegetation has to be cleared. We may have to grade the slope of the land. If you’re going to use a septic tank, that has to be installed. Footers may be poured.
Once the site is ready, the home is shipped and installed on the site. After a final inspection is completed, pack up the moving truck. It’s time to move in.
