Today we are joined by Dalton Bradshaw of New Candle Cottages to discuss off frame modular homes and whether they can offer a realistic path back toward the American dream of home ownership. With conventional housing costs putting more pressure on buyers, we look at how modular construction compares with both manufactured homes and traditional site built houses.
We will dig into what these homes actually cost, including price per square foot and the types of monthly payments buyers are seeing. Dalton will also explain financing options, including land and home packages, delivery ranges, and why an off frame modular home may offer advantages for buyers who want something more permanent than a trailer without taking on the cost of conventional construction.
We will also discuss modular homes as appreciating assets, their potential as affordable starter homes, and how they may fit into a larger strategy for reducing housing expenses and eventually living debt free. For people looking for alternatives to a massive mortgage and decades of payments, this conversation offers another option worth understanding.
Dalton Bradshaw is the Sales Manager at New Candle Cottages and brings 10 years of sales experience to the company. The owner of New Candle Cottages brings 30 years of construction experience, and together the company is focused on producing quality homes at prices ordinary buyers can realistically afford.
Whether you are looking for your first home, considering putting a house on land you already own, or simply looking for ways to lower the long term cost of housing, today’s discussion with Dalton provides a look at an increasingly interesting alternative to conventional home construction.
