[QUOTE="90lx, post: 16098276, member: 184327"] My wife and I are going to do closing on a double wide tomorrow. In our current situation, it's just what will work best for us. We had our hearts set on building until we found out the harsh reality of the cost. We went as far as designing plans and material list. We paid 2k for the plans just to get quotes from builders in the $400-450k range. That was a huge let down because it's way out of our budget. We had no idea. Builders here are in the $110-120 sq ft range. A little of a back story is our house burned down 3 years ago and we lost about 98% of everything we had. We had insurance but not replacement value so long story short, they only paid the mortgage off and we were left starting completely over. We still have the property and that is where my heart is so there is no other option for me but to be there. We have 3 kids with the oldest graduating high school in 3 years, so we feel compelled to do something fast before he leaves the nest. Anyways, the mobile and modular homes are built a lot better now than what I thought. Ours is built with 2X6 exterior wall studs and 2X4 on the interior on 16" centers. IT will have sheetrock with a walk in tile shower and a tile back splash in the kitchen. We could have opted for a lot more, but naturally, the cost goes way up fast. Anyhow, good luck with whatever decision you make. Like you, we plan to pay ours off asap and maybe build a smaller home in the future once the kids are grown and won't require as large of a home.
