1. The home is built on wood floor joists or floor trusses above a raised perimeter concrete foundation, just like any other site-built home on a raised foundation. Except the floor has double rim-joists whereas a site-built home would only have single rim-joists.
2. There is no such obvious permanent plate telling anyone looking that you are living in a mobile home. The most typical indicator is a removable sticker that is placed on the inside of a bathroom or kitchen cabinet.
3. The roof pitch can be pretty much whatever you want it to be. You can build a flat roof, a 2/12 or 3/12 Spanish style roof, a standard 5/12 or 6/12 ranch, and even up to a 12/12 Cape Cod or Lodge style roof.
4. The quality and performance of the home structure generally exceeds that of a site built home and is much, much stronger than a manufactured home.
5. Modular homes are built to the same state and local building codes as site built homes.
6. The construction loan finances modular homes just like a site built home.
7. There is no such disclosure required since the modular home is just a different route ...
... to building a Single-family residence, not a different type of home. Feel free to verify with this with the California Department of Real Estate if you don't believe us.
8. Refinancing is the same process as with a site-built home
9. It is not hard to make changes to plans. Many of our homes have been custom designed for our clients', specific to their needs and the configuration of the lot and the requirements of the local jurisdiction.
10. Wood-framed modular homes can be two stories or three stories. Four story modular buildings are possible in low seismic and wind conditions. We can ship modular buildings for apartments and condominiums up to twelve (12) stories worldwide, but to the appropriate commercial building code.

A regular site-built home typically has 2" x 4" exterior walls, even in many fancy neighborhoods. Modular homes have 2" x 6" exterior walls standard, better than most site-built homes and almost all manufactured homes. If you want to buy a home that is built almost as fast as a manufactured home but holds its value and looks like a regular stick-built home, you want a Cutting Edge Homes modular home.
