Informed buyers save money and avoid last minute hassles. Use this checklist to help you search for, find and buy a new manufactured home.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\n– Track your credit situation before hunting for a home. Get a copy of your credit report, check it for accuracy and correct any errors.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Determine how much you can afford to spend for a new manufactured home. Use our mortgage calculator to figure out this amount.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Look at your total financial picture before making any home buying decision.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Make a written list of your housing needs and wants to help you decide on the type of manufactured home that best fits your budget.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Take an active role, ask questions and negotiate your best deal before signing a home buying contract.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Review home warranties and what they will protect.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Compare and secure insurance for the mobile home. Since insurance is a long-term expense, getting the best value gives you savings that continue. Foremost is a national leader in insurance for mobile homes.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Secure final loan approval and commitment from your lending institution.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– If possible, inspect your new manufactured home before closing and settlement. Check over the frame, walls, roof, windows, doors, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, storage, furniture, floors, and ceiling.<\/span>

How To Trim Your Budget<\/span>
\nReady for a new manufactured home, but want to have a bigger nest egg before you buy? One of the best ways to save money is to cut everyday expenses. Here are a few ideas to help you trim your budget.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\n– Pay off your credit card debt as soon as possible or switch to a less expensive card. Try not to charge anything you can’t pay off at the end of the month.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Write down everything you spend. After two weeks you may be surprised to see how much money is spent on items you don’t really need.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Do business with a bank that has convenient ATMs located close to your home or work to avoid extra charges for each withdrawal.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Keep your checkbook and other accounts balanced so you will know how much money you have and where it is. This is another way to avoid bank charges.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Consider buying your next car rather than leasing it. Buying is almost always a better investment than leasing. So is buying a used car instead of a new one.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Lower your energy bill by raising your air conditioning in the summer and lowering your heat in the winter. This simple action can save hundreds of dollars every year.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Give up smoking or cut back. You’ll save money for every pack you don’t buy. As a non-smoker you will also be eligible for lower health and homeowner’s insurance premiums.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
