How does this compare to mobile homes in terms of price and use case? Many mobile homes are only "mobile" in the sense that it's delivered and installed somewhere - 90% are never moved again, because it's costly and complicated to do so.

The modular idea is neat, but I'm not sure how practical it is, and there are laws in many states that prevent you from moving homes without a licensed professional.



Dunno if the "mobile home industry" is actually useful to compare against anymore; they seem to be dedicated to selling the cheapest possible crap as an excuse to rope people into horrible financial schemes. "no down payment with land" is pushing some deals that'd make payday lenders feel moral qualms.

Not that mobile homes were ever a place to find quality construction, but now it feels like outright fraud.


It looks like the delivery crane does the unboxing, so I would presume the delivery would be done by some one licensed to move it. I think this is also not considered mobile.

Not sure how you would even have this as a "take out" option.
