- How does manufactured housing compare to site built housing?
- Manufactured homes are built entirely in the factory under federal
code administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), which went into effect June 15, 1976, and has been upgraded numerous
times. The code covers single- or multi-section homes and includes transport
to the site and installation. Regulations include: design & construction,
strength & durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency
& quality. Manufactured homes are built on a chassis and delivered to a
site on several sets of axles; they are primarily intended to be
affixed to a permanent foundation. Modular Homes are built to state,
local or regional code where the home will be located.
Because we build all our homes in a factory, we utilize labor saving
techniques not practical for the average site builder. The factory environment
also improves the flow of materials and reduces the amount of "lost
time" or damaged materials that are common on site built construction
sites. With around 18,000 homes built last year, we are able to purchase
materials at a more favorable price than most contractors due to volume.
These savings are significant and are passed on to you in the form of
affordable housing.
- Do you manufacture and ship homes outside the U.S.?
- Very rarely; while we have 36 manufacturing facilities and ship to
over 1,500 retailers, presently we do not have programs in place to
manufacture or ship our homes outside the continental U.S.
- Do you supply the land to go with the home?
- Yes. Local model home centers have knowledge about land availability in
the areas they cover.
- Do you have any used or repossessed homes available in my area?
- We offer many used and repossessed homes, and they are offered for
sale at our Model Home Centers nationwide. You can also refer to VMFrepos.com
to see what Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance has in inventory, but this
is just a small portion of the houses available. Your local Model Home Center
has a listing of available homes in your area.
Our Model Home Center locations are online for you to find one near you,
or if you would like some personal assistance, please feel free to call us at 1-800-822-0633.
- Where can I find the HUD and Serial numbers on my current home?
- It all depends on the model year - from 1994 to present, the Data
Plate, which includes model, serial number, HUD number and assorted
other information on the home, should be located in the master bedroom
closet.
1993 and prior, the Data Plate could have been placed on the master
bath vanity door, a kitchen cabinet door, in the utility room, on the
inside of the electrical cabinet or in the master bedroom closet. All
models, however, will have the serial number stamped on the front header.
This is the I-beam that runs across the width of the front of the home.
It will be located on the left hand side of the header when standing
in front of the home.
