The Benefits of Manufactured Homes

The Benefits of Manufactured Housing

With the cost of housing continuing to rise, finding quality affordable housing can be challenging. You may not have thought about a manufactured home as an option. We outline some of the benefits of a manufactured home over an apartment.

Affordability

For the cost of the average apartment rent, you can often own your own manufactured home.

Building Equity

Make monthly payments toward something you will own, reducing the cost of housing once your home is paid off.

Privacy

No more sharing walls with your neighbors. You will even have a yard of your own.

Personalization

Make the home your own; you can paint walls and decorate the inside to suit YOUR taste.

Personal Parking

No need to fight your neighbors for parking, with dedicated parking space in front of your home.

More Rooms for Less Money

Three + bedrooms are easier to find and usually more affordable than three-bedroom apartments.

We have a variety of options for you to make your home with Cairn. You can move your own home into our community, rent a home from us, do a lease-to-own, or purchase a new or used home. Explore our communities and find one that is right for you. Call and make an appointment and find out how you can come home to a Cairn Community today.

Move Your Own Home

You can move your own home into one of our communities. This means you don’t have to purchase land to put your home on, set up water, sewer, or electric. You can enjoy all the benefits of being part of a community. We offer things like dog parks, playgrounds, community center, on-site maintenance, and programs like our Home Improvement Partnership Program.

Pay Cash

Cairn is a manufactured home retailer who passes these savings on to you. The average savings on our homes vs. buying from the manufacturer is xx%. We purchase homes from some of the top manufacturers in the industry such as Clayton, Champion, and Adventure, to name a few.

Finance Your Home

We have a portfolio of finance companies that we work with to assist you in getting financing for your home and they include First Bank, 21st Mortgage, and Credit Human. You can also find financing through your bank or other companies. No matter which option you choose, we will assist you along the way.

Lease-To-Own

We have a lease-to-own program in some of our communities. This allows you to make monthly payments toward the home for an agreed upon term and at the end of that period you can have the title and own your home.

Rent

You can also be a renter in a few of our communities. We want you to know that no matter where life takes you, you can always come home to Cairn.
