An Off-Site Constructed Home starts out as sections, that have been built in a climate controlled area. The finished sections are transported to the building site and then assembled with cranes. Off-Site Constructed Homes cannot be moved after they have been placed and set on their foundations.

While Off-Site Constructed homes are more affordable than most other types of housing, the reasons lie in the inherent advantages of any on-going production process. Manufacturers purchase their building materials in volume, allowing the homes to be built with the highest quality materials and components. Because they are built in a controlled environment utilizing a systems-engineered production method, there are no costly weather delays in the construction process. Off-Site Constructed homes are less labor-intensive and require a shorter production time than site-built alternatives.

Many types of financial institutions and service companies including banks, credit unions, mortgage companies and consumer finance companies offer loan programs for Off-Site Constructed home buyers. These companies can offer a number of types of consumer, conventional and government-insured financing, such as the FHA and the VA USDA/Rural Development and other loan programs. As for their investment possibilities, Off-Site Constructed homes can retain and gain value when placed in the proper environment, installed and maintained properly and treated as a long-term housing investment.
