Homes WTF — Episode 023: Factory, Foundation, or Framework
Jason, Rhonda, and Nat break down the differences between stick‑built, modular, and manufactured homes: how each is constructed, how they’re financed, and what those differences mean for long‑term value. They dig into building codes, foundations, HUD requirements, and why modular homes often rival site‑built ones, while manufactured homes serve an important affordability niche.
They also cover practical details like permanent attachment, inspections, aging mobile homes, and why maintenance matters more for certain home types. Plus, a quick hot take on garages and how most people misuse them.
It’s a clear, detailed walkthrough of what separates these three home types and how those distinctions affect cost, quality, and resale potential.
