Can a modular still have a HUD tag.

[Ray Miller]

Be very careful

Not so much of a surprise. I have seen several of these. Center I Beam, HUD Tags and Data Plate.:new_all_coholic:


I must assume that it is on a full foundation. No Frame, I have found it very simple. Some fool has pulled the frame out from under it and put it on a foundation.

Be very careful and check box four or call for a full inspection by an engineer who knows HUD\MFG homes.

Been the appraiser on several lawsuits when this has happened. Appraiser was sued right long with everyone else. :Eyecrazy:


Unless as Mr. Heyn has said: "While the vast majority of HUD code homes have a permanent chassis (nearly always steel, but there are a few exceptions to this as well), not all do. A small number of HUD code homes were built, mostly in the 1980's, under a special dispensation program where HUD allowed production of manufactured homes without a permanent chassis. The progam ended in 1988."

Hi Tricia,

I have had some of these tricky ones a few times !!! NC is the land of the mobile home! I actually called HUD at one point... as everyone was screaming it was a modular....... with the serial #, they can pull up the records and tell you all you need to know. There were some "unusal" ones built in certain years, as mentioned above. But as far as I can tell, based on talking with HUD is that if it has a HUD tag, it's a mobile...... even with certain upgrades.

No. If it has a HUD "tag" it is a manufactured home. A mobile home will not have a HUD "tag" because it was built prior to implementation of the HUD national building code.
