What are common problems, negatives about Pre-fabricated/manufauctured home, otherwise know as a mobile homes?
We are considering purchasing acerage in Apache Junction and buying a new pre-fab home. We have seen some models online, they look really nice, and compare to reg. homes as far as looks go. But we are just not quite convinced of the durability and quality.
Any advice or experience would be helpful. Here is a link to one of the manufactures we are considering

I live in Arizona. We dont have tornados. Just occational monsoon rain in the summer months.
1. Mobile homes depreciate, rather than appreciate in value.
2. They can not be titled, as a traditional house can (depending on the state).
3. Electric bills tend to run higher, as the building materials don't create as much insulation.
4. Traditional financing can be a problem with some banks (i.e. land and home loan combined).
We also considered this option recently, but decided to build, as the costs really weren't that much more for what we got.
