Some
Mistakes
You
Don’t
Want to
Make
Don’t…
1.
Buy a
house
from a
builder/dealer
just
because
they
have a
design
you
like.
The good
news is
you
found a
design
you
really
like and
now you
know
what you
want.
But the
guy who
has it
on his
lot
might
have
turned
the last
10
customers’
dreams
into
nightmares;
is that
what you
want?
Any good
builder
can
build
you the
same
house.
So get
as much
info as
you can
and, now
that you
finished
shopping
for your
home,
shop for
your
builder.
Don’t…
2.
Go
shopping
for
house
prices
to find
out who
is the
cheapest
dealer.
If one
dealer
has a
really
low
price,
make
sure you
ask
what’s
included
in that
price.
We all
buy at
similar
prices,
and sell
with
similar
margins,
because
we price
against
each
other
every
day.
There
are no
DEALS on
houses.
There is
only
GOOD,
GREAT
and
CHEAP.
Fortunately,
we can
offer
you all
of them.
Don’t…
3.
Fall for
the “be
your own
GC and
save a
bunch”
trick.
This is
a myth
perpetuated
by
DEALERS
who want
to sell
you a
house,
take
your
money,
and then
leave
you to
figure
out all
the
things
you left
out.
Check
out our
pricing
information,
found on
the
pricing
link on
this web
site,
for more
information.
Don’t…
4.
Confuse
a
Modular
with a
Mobile
home
built to
Modular
specifications.
The
mobile
home
companies
have
started
building
their
home
designs
to meet
the
standard
residential
building
codes
instead
of the
HUD code
the
Mobile
homes
fall
under.
These
are
great
homes
for an
outstanding
price.
However,
they are
designed
to go on
a crawl
space
because
the
heating
system
does not
have the
capacity
to heat
the
basement
area.
That
leaves
you with
a cold
basement
which
has many
pit
falls up
here in
the
North
Country
that no
one
wants.
If you
want a
crawl
space
only, I
highly
recommend
these
houses.
Never
put one
on a
basement.
