Why Won JCF Finance Manufactured Homes that Will Be Moved?
From our past experience, the amount quoted to move a manufactured home by a mover is 75% of the time inaccurate or grossly off. This might not be intentional on the part of the manufactured home mover, but it leaves many consumers with an unexpected cash outlay that they may or may not be able to come up with. The current average approximate cost to tear down, move, and re-set up a single wide manufactured home is $4,000.00. That is if the manufactured home is moved 5 miles or less. When the manufactured home is a multi-section home the average cost jumps to $10,000.00. These costs do not include the multiple fees paid to the county for trip permits, escorts, or multiple inspections that will be required before you can reside in the manufactured home. Again, many times the cost jumps dramatically higher than the quoted figures above, leaving the consumer with a manufactured home in pieces or not set-up, which they cannot legally live in.
