How can a Manufactured Home
Prepare You to Purchase
A Site Built Home?
Manufactured homes have long been a stepping stone to owning a site built home. People serious about building their future discover that manufactured homes enable them to:
• establish good credit,
• build equity for a future down payment and,
• put down roots (demonstate stability).
These are all things that lenders look for in qualifying a homebuyer.
One of the most important reasons to consider manufactured homes is the quality of lifestyle they provide while you are positioning yourself to purchase a home. For the same payment as a 2 bedroom, 1 to 2 bath apartment that is usually smaller than 900 square feet, the 1160 square foot manufactured home offers:
• more square footage for your housing dollar
• 3 bedrooms, 2 baths,
• a glamorous master bath,
• a nicer kitchen,
• in-home laundry room, often with freezer space,
• a spacious yard,
• 2-car driveway directly in front of the home,
• no common walls, floors or ceilings,
all in a community setting similar to a site built subdivision. Coming from an apartment complex, a manufactured home in a community setting gives you a sense of space and elbow room you don't feel in an apartment. You no longer share walkways and stairs with those around you. You have your own. You don't look over the wall at your neighbors little patio. You have your own comfortable yard.
A manufactured home is simply the most affordable single family home available. This can work for you when you are trying to accumulate down payment, improve your credit, and demonstate stability of lifestyle. If you rent an apartment that is as nice as many of our manufactured home, you will be consuming a lot more of your monthly income in rent. If you use the HomeBuyer's program offered by Smart HomeLease, you will have more money to put in savings, PLUS, each home payment you make will be increasing the equity in your HomeBuyer's Account. The HomeBuyer's Account is your ticket to a future purchase.
Don't let stereotypes fool you. Most people's picture of what manufactured homes look like is terribly outdated. The materials used to build the home, as well as the quality of construction are often indistinguishable from site built. While most Smart HomeLease homes are single section to bring you the best quality home at the most affordable price, there are desirable options and upgrades that cause these homes to look and live well. The semi-enclosed carport and privacy fencing options create street appeal, giving the home a more residential feel. Inside, these homes offer a feature that only larger homes offer. Children's rooms are usually at the front of the home creating a quieter, more private master suite for mom and dad at the rear. This amount of separation isn't found in apartments or entry-level site built homes. Manufactured homes provide the most efficient floorplans, giving you more living space and function for your housing dollar.
If you are serious about investing in your future, Smart HomeLease offers a comfortable lifestyle while helping you save for your future.
