So what’s the difference? It’s all in the date. Manufactured homes and mobile homes are both regulated by HUD, the Housing and Urban Development division of the federal government. According to HUD, a factory-built home prior to June 15, 1976 is a mobile home and one built after June 15, 1976 is a manufactured home.

Manufactured homes built with today’s technological advancements can not only be just as energy efficient as many site-built homes, but they are often more energy efficient than similar traditionally-constructed homes. This means owners of modern manufactured homes can enjoy lower than average electric, gas, and alternative heating fuel bills each month.

A manufactured home can be set in two places. You can put your manufactured home on a vacant land that you own or that you purchase or in a manufactured home park.

When searching for land, you can find vacant lots in remote or secluded locations, in conventional neighborhoods, or in manufactured home communities. If you intend to buy a piece of land in a remote or secluded location, you might need to bring utilities to your property. This will lead to extra costs and may delay home installation and setup. Purchasing a vacant lot in a community run by an HOA means that you need to follow a series of rules that may apply to home maintenance, any additions or updates you want to make, and landscaping.
