How to Buy a Manufactured Home: A Complete Guide from The Home Boys

Buying a manufactured home can feel like a big undertaking — especially if you’re deciding between a home-only purchase or a full land-home package. At The Home Boys, we’ve simplified the entire process so you always know what comes next, what to expect, and how to move from browsing floor plans to moving into your new home.

This guide breaks down the full journey, based on the insight of our General Manager, Junior, who has helped thousands of families step into home ownership.

1. Start With Our Website: Every Floor Plan, Every Price, Fully Transparent

Your first step is simple:

Visit thehomeboys.com and check out the Plans section.

Every home we carry — from single wides to large triple-section models — includes:

Full floor plan
Photos
3D tours
Video walkthroughs (more added weekly)
Transparent pricing with delivery + setup within 100 miles included

Because The Home Boys owns all of our trucks, set crews, trim crews, drywall crews, and warranty crews, we know our costs and can show real prices upfront — something many competitors simply can’t do.

2. Visit Our Display Lots — No Pressure, No Sales Push

We’re open 7 days a week, 9–5, and you can explore our homes entirely at your own pace. Every home has printed prices, and no one follows you around or pressures you to decide.

Grab a coffee or cold drink, walk through the models, and get a real feel for layout, finishes, and build quality.

If you find something you love, one of our sales consultants will help guide you from there.

3. Financing: Getting Pre-Qualified the Easy Way

If you’re paying cash, the process is straightforward.

If you’re financing, we’ll connect you with lenders who specialize in manufactured homes and already know our workflow.

You can:

Apply online
Speak with a lender by phone
Meet locally face-to-face

Once you’re pre-qualified, you can choose the budget that feels right for your lifestyle — not just the maximum the bank offers.

4. Building a Land-Home Package (If You Don’t Already Own Land)

A land-home package has three simple steps:

Choose the home you want
Choose your property
Get site-work bids for:

Well
Septic
Power
Foundation
Optional additions (garage, shop, pole building, decks)

We help you reverse-engineer the numbers so your home and land fit your budget.

If your site is in Washington, your installer must be WESC-certified, and we’ll help you verify that.

5. Locking In Your Price and Starting the Build

Once you’ve chosen your home and are ready to move forward:

You’ll sign a purchase agreement
You’ll put down earnest money
Your price is locked for 30 days

Your lender will then need:

The purchase agreement
All site-work bids
Land payoff details (if applicable)

After that, they’ll order the appraisal and finalize your construction loan.

6. Delivery, Setup, and Why Our In-House Crews Matter

Every price on our website includes delivery + setup within 100 miles, and we can go farther if needed.

Because we own:

8 semi-trucks
Remote-controlled tractors
Platypus + JADE2000 equipment

We can deliver homes safely even into tight or complex properties.

We also pay our drivers by the hour, not by the mile — so your home arrives safely without being rushed down the highway at 70 mph (which causes drywall cracks). That’s one more way we protect your investment.

Setup typically includes:
