"If you're shopping for a manufactured home, The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook is absolutely the best book investment you'll ever make in your life. Don't set foot on a dealer's lot without it! It will walk you through the entire process, and tells the real story behind the manufactured housing industry and HUD. It also goes on in detail about how financing and insurance differs from that offered by traditional housing. What you don't know really CAN hurt you! Without this thorough and well written guide, my wife and I would have probably made the biggest financial mistake of our lives. With it, we got a really great deal on a good home. We estimate we saved over $15,000 on the price of our double-wide, and by the time financing is considered (not only are we saving the interest we would have had to pay on that $15,000, but because of the book we also found a lower rate) we easily saved over $50,000 altogether. I can't recommend The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook highly enough!" Amazon Reviewer . . . Consumer advocacy groups and Amazon readers all give The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook 5 Stars as it shoots to #17,767 on Amazon sales charts (Jan. 2nd, 2006), making it the best-selling book on the subject! . . .

"Wes Johnson combines personal experience with extensive research in a powerful 'must read' for anyone considering buying a manufactured home or currently living in one. The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook really is a wealth of information." -- Peter Tabak, Homeowners Against Deficient Dwellings

Considering how interest rates are going to affect your bottom line? Financing is often the most important factor when you buy a new home, and financing for manufactured homes often differs radically from that offered for site built home sales. The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook covers finance options and predatory lending more thoroughly than any other guide. Here's a handy little tool that can help you, too:

This collection of web links is a partial list of web resources found in The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook, as well as other consumer and information sources. Here you can find the most important links regarding energy efficiency, air quality, financing information, HUD contacts, findings from a study by the Consumer's Union, and much more. For more specific information distilled for exclusive pertinence to manufactured housing, please refer to the actual text of The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook. Also included on this page is a table of manufactured home companies. Not every brand you might recognize is listed -- some companies, like Champion, actually own and operate a number of other brands (Redman, Silvercrest, Summit Crest, Titan, etcetera). If you see some websites that have been left out or that you would like to see added please contact us describing the site and giving us the link using our feedback form. Finally, we have added a Manufactured Home Bookstore (available through www.amazon.com) which covers many topics: buying manufactured homes, modular homes, repairing manufactured homes, financing, issues in running and setting up manufactured homes communities, societal ramifications, history and more!

All current manufactured home owners who have experienced problems please check out our new links. We can never change the status quo without getting the word out about the problems in this industry. Even though we may have been harmed, we have a duty to help protect our fellow consumers so they don't suffer what we have! Here are three great ways to help get the word out: (1) Consumers Union's "Share Your Manufactured Home Story" web page, (2) HADD's "Builder Complaint Form" web page, and (3) the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Consumer Complaint Form. Let others know what happened to you by using these quick and easy forms! If you have a moment, please go to my Feedback Page as well — I'd like to know your story too, and I might be able to help.
