I was thinking of building my own home this coming summer. Never done anything quite like it and am wondering if I'm up for the challenge. I plan to just be the builder and sub everything. And then I thought about modular homes. Any opinions out there on either, I'll read them. The modulars I looked at look very well built but the cost (by the time I add all the nice options like real oak trim)is same ($103 sq ft. excluding lot) as hiring a my own builder for stick built. I have several friends who have acted as their own builder and some even did alot of the work themselves, so I have a list of subs who have done nice work, etc. Any opinions? I am also afraid of the stigma placed on modulars, many people think they are still just wide mobile homes, even though mine would have to come in four sections and look like a stick built. Does modular matter for resell value? |
