HOME
WHAT
SHOULD I LOOK FOR OR ASK ?
Data
Plate. There is a data plate affixed to the home that has the
pertinent information regarding date of manufacture, serial number,
wind zone, etc. Verify what you are buying. The data plate is usually
located on the wall of the utility room, master bedroom closet,
hot water heater closet, or on the inside of the door under the
kitchen sink.
Are
you the original owner(s)? How long have you owned the home?
Have
any major repairs been necessary to the exterior or interior of
the home? If so, what and when?
Have
there been any problems with the heating/ac, plumbing, appliances,
etc.? If so, what and when?
Observe
the condition of the decks? Are the boards warped or in good condition?
Are the screws or nails working loose or is it solid? Do the boards
need sealing or staining?
If
the exterior is metal on metal, has it been washed and waxed? If
so, when? Metal exteriors are no different than automobiles. They
need washing and waxing for preventive maintenance.
If
the exterior has vinyl siding and a shingled roof, has the siding
been washed or is it dirty and have mildewed areas? Are the shingles
in good condition?
Has
the home ever had any roof leaks? If it has a metal roof, has it
been Kool-Sealed, and if so, when? Most manufacturers recommend
this be done every 3 years.
Are
all utilities and appliances currently in good working order?
Be
sure to compare "apples to apples." Like most products, manufactured
homes offer "low - medium - or high" quality and price points. Also,
one manufacturer's product line usually has a "low - medium - and
high." Compare a Chevrolet with a comparable Chevrolet and a Cadillac
with a comparable Cadillac.
Be
sure and allow for any improvements or upgrades the property may
offer and consider its value to your lifestyle.
