What is the difference between a modular home and a mobile home?

There seems to be some confusion on the difference between a mobile and modular home. At first, you would think that they are one in the same but at a closer look they are extremely different. The difference may also affect the type of loan and financing you will get.


Mobile Home - A mobile home is exactly that, a home that is built on a trailer frame in order to transport the home. It will usually have a aluminum exterior with interior partitioning. A mobile home with its wheels attached and not permanently affixed to the ground is not considered real property and does not qualify for mortgage type financing. In order for a mobile home to be mortgaged, the home must be on a permanent foundation and wheels removed. At this point the home is an un movable fixed on the property. In most cases lenders will finance a mobile home that meets this criteria if it is a doublewide or larger.


Modular Home - A modular home in short is a typical home that is just built of site and moved to a permanent location. There is really no difference between a modular home and one that is built directly on your lot. They must conform to the same building codes as a site built home. In most cases a construction loan  is required so that each party is paid through out each stage of construction.
