I personally would be some what reluctant to buy into the manufactured housing sector. While it may make sense from an affordability issue and baby boomer play the biggest drawback is primarily this – financing.

Manufactured homes seem to be “tainted” with regard to traditional financing sources. They don’t appear to have a great track record and this could be a very big component of this industry’s future.

Make sure you do your homework before investing too heavily on the manufactured home sector.
