The problem

There is more to buy than the home

Buying a manufactured home can mean buying land, a home, delivery, setup, a foundation, utilities, permits, and financing, often from different people. The order of those decisions matters, and the price on the model-home sign leaves most of them out. Buyers get into trouble when they buy land before checking that a home is allowed there, or sign a quote without knowing what it includes. This workbook slows the process down so you can see the whole project, ask better questions, and keep every answer in one place.

Who it's for

First-time buyers who want a clear, step-by-step plan
Anyone buying a manufactured home with land, or planning to place one on land they own
Buyers comparing retailers, dealer quotes, or used homes
Families who want every number and decision written down in one binder

What you'll be able to do

Buy with a plan, not a sales pitch

Know your all-in numberBudget the home, land, site work, and financing together, not just the sticker price.
Check the land before you commitWork through zoning, access, utilities, septic, and well questions for each parcel.
Compare quotes on the same termsThe quote audit shows what each dealer includes, leaves out, or lists as an allowance.
Shop lenders with the right questionsAsk every lender the same questions and compare loan offers side by side.
Stay organized through setup and move-inTrack who is responsible for each task, then document the walkthrough and punch list.
Make a clear final callThe go or no-go review helps you decide whether the whole project still works.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is the PDF fillable?

No. It is a printable workbook made to fill in by hand. Print the pages you need, as many times as you need.

I already own land. Is it still useful?

Yes. Skip the land-buying pages and use the land checks for your own parcel, then use the budget, quote, financing, and setup sections.

Does it cover used homes?

Yes. Section 11 covers buying a used manufactured home, with a used-home evaluation worksheet for condition, relocation, and setup costs.

Does it tell me what my home will cost?

No. It helps you list every cost and question so you can get real quotes. For the math, the True Cost Calculator adds it up for you.

How do I get the files?

Right after checkout you get a download link on screen and by email.
