Got a lender wanting to do an FHA Title I loan on a manufactured home. He asked me if it had to be an a concrete block, perimeter foundation. I said that I thought so, most homes in this area are, but let me look. The only thing I can find on HUD's web site is.
"Be installed on a homesite that meets established local standards for site suitability and has adequate water supply and sewage disposal facilities available."
Which leads me to believe that it is pretty much what ever is acceptable in the market, subject to local ordinances. This county does not have any inspection's dept., enforcement of building codes, or zoning. It is a true buyer beware market.
Anyone else know where I could find more info? Other than having an engineer sign off on the piers, straps, etc., what am I missing?
