"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! . . .
