​

Orleans Housing, LLC. sells New Manufactured Houses. We are a new location here in Fort Worth, Texas. We are here to provide affordable housing to families. We can help by providing financing to those who could not normally get conventional financing and to anyone trying to fill a niche, i.e. lake lots, hunting camp, etc as we are partnered with industry lenders.

 

The Company's primary product will be New Manufactured Housing. We have great knowledge in the industry as Texas is the number one state in manufactured housing sales and manufacturing. In the face of today’s challenging economy, the need for quality, affordable housing has never been greater. Today’s manufactured homes can deliver outstanding quality and performance at prices ranging from 10 to 20 percent less per square foot than conventional site-built homes. These savings allow more and more Americans to own their own home, even in the face of an ever-widening housing affordability gap.

 

The affordability of manufactured housing can be attributed directly to the efficiency emanating from the factory-building process. The controlled construction environment and assembly line techniques remove many of the problems encountered during traditional home construction, such as poor weather, theft, vandalism, damage to building products and materials, and unskilled labor. Factory employees are trained and managed more effectively and efficiently than the system of contracted labor employed by the site-built home construction industry. Much like other assembly line operations, manufactured homes benefit from the economies of scale resulting from purchasing large quantities of materials, products and appliances.

 

Manufactured home builders are able to negotiate substantial savings on many components used in building a home, with these savings passed on directly to the home buyer. Today’s manufactured homes have experienced a major evolution in the types and quality of homes being offered to buyers. Technological advances are allowing manufactured home builders to offer a much wider variety of architectural styles and exterior finishes that will suit most any buyer’s dreams, all the while allowing the home to blend in seamlessly into most any neighborhood. Two story and single-family attached homes are but two of the new styles being generated by factory-built innovation.

 

As a result, today’s manufactured homes are offering real housing options for the neglected suburban and urban buyers. At the same time, greater flexibility in the construction process allows for each home to be customized to meet a buyer’s lifestyle and needs. Interior features now include such features as vaulted ceilings and working fireplaces to state-of-the-art kitchens and baths, giving the home buyer all the features found in traditional, site-built homes. Enhanced energy efficiency in manufactured homes, achieved with upgraded levels of insulation and more efficient heating and cooling systems, provide another source of savings for homeowners, especially in this era of rising energy costs.

 

Smart buyers are turning to Energy Star-labeled manufactured homes for substantial savings in many aspects of owning and operating home. Technological advances, evolutionary designs, and a focus on delivering quality homes that families can afford are the driving forces within the manufactured housing industry. That’s why more people are turning to manufactured housing to deliver homes that fit their needs and wants, at prices they can afford! Today’s buyer of both new and existing manufactured homes may choose from several different financing options. Some financial institutions offer an entire menu of lending programs.

 

The house can be financed as personal property, on leased land, in a manufactured home community or on a privately owned site. Buyers who desire to acquire land in conjunction with the home can finance the land and home together. Properly financed, the purchase of a manufactured home should lead to equity building for the homeowner. Manufactured homes can be financed as personal property. Even when the home and land are financed together, the home is often secured as personal property and the land as real property. A growing number of buyers are opting to put their homes on land they are purchasing or already own. Traditional manufactured home personal property lenders have created land-and-home financing programs designed to accommodate this trend.

 

All manufactured homes are constructed in accordance with the federal manufactured home construction and safety standards, in effect since June 15, 1976. This building code, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and known as the HUD code, regulates home design and construction, strength and durability, fire resistance, and energy efficiency. In the early 1990’s, this building code was revised to enhance energy efficiency and ventilation standards and to improve the wind resistance of manufactured homes in areas prone to hurricane-force winds.

 

The Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 establishes a more timely and systematic approach to code updates and enhancements. Every manufactured home has a red and silver label certifying that it was built and inspected in compliance with the HUD code. No manufactured home may be shipped from the factory unless it complies with the HUD code and receives the certification label from an independent, third-party inspection agency. Home buyers may also finance their home and land together as real property using conventional mortgage financing obtained through a traditional mortgage lender. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the primary secondary market sources for mortgage loans in the U.S., encourage this with their guidelines for accepting real estate mortgage loans for 20 and 30 year terms secured by manufactured homes.

 

The federal government also guarantees homes under the Veterans Administration’s (VA’s) Home Loan Guarantee program and the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Rural Housing Programs. Qualified home buyers may also obtain loans insured by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s), Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Typical Terms for Manufactured Home Loans New Homes 10% – 20% down payment Terms 15-30 years, depending on credit profile, size of home, and type of loan Existing Homes 10% – 20% down payment Terms up to 20 years (actual terms will vary from lender to lender) Terms and conditions on FHA and VA loans are similar to those on conventional loans. Local HUD offices have information on loan terms and conditions.
