A modular home is built to BOCA code-that is the code that governs stick built homes. The frames it sits on are for transport only. A modular home is usually designed for basement installation. Modular homes are treated much as stick built homes in regards to valuation and appreciation. A mobile home is built to HUD code-that is the code that governs manufactured housing. The frames it is built on remain an integral part of the home after setup. A mobile home is usually designed for slab installation although with certain design modifications it can be placed on a foundation.
