A New Generation of Housing
Forget everything you think you know about manufactured homes.
Today’s homes are not ‘mobile homes.’
They are precision-engineered in climate-controlled facilities
Built to strict standards by federal (HUD Code) or local (Modular/IRC).
This modern process results in homes that are often:
stronger,
more energy-efficient and
HIGHER QUALITY THAN TRADITIONAL SITE-BUILT HOUSING
Know the facts about Manufactured Homes & Modular Homes
Homes built after 1994 adhere to strict HUD wind safety standards (developed after Hurricane Andrew). They are engineered with advanced tie-down systems to be as safe as site-built homes in similar storm conditions.
Our homes are built in controlled factory environments, which reduces weather delays and defects. They use the same high-quality materials as site-built homes (or better), with rigorous quality assurance and inspections at every single stage.
The days of ‘boxy’ homes are over. Our homes are highly customizable, offering gabled roofs, porches, modern siding, and high-end interior finishes like granite countertops, walk-in showers, and custom floor plans.
For manufactured homes attached to a permanent foundation on owned land, financing is very similar to a traditional home. You can get FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional mortgages. This has made them a mainstream and accessible path to homeownership.
How We Make Your Home an Appreciating Asset
We Convert Your House into a Home.
This is the Dream Starters difference. A standard manufactured home, often called ‘chattel,’ is legally personal property (like a car) and can depreciate. It’s typically financed with a higher-interest chattel loan.
Our expertise is in the permanent installation process. By fixing your home to a permanent foundation (per HUD and Texas guidelines), we help you legally convert the home into real property.
This crucial step allows your home to be financed with a traditional mortgage and build equity and appreciate in value.
Which Home Type is Right for You?
Manufactured Homes
Built to the federal HUD code. These are the most affordable and popular option, offering high quality and endless customization. We specialize in installing these on permanent foundations to turn them into real property.
Modular Homes
Built in modules to the same state/local International Residential Code (IRC) as a traditional site-built home. They are classified as real property from day one and are eligible for conventional 30-year mortgages.
Texas Sized Tiny Homes
Often built to ANSI A119.5 standards, these sub-1000 sq. ft. homes are perfect for accessory dwellings (ADUs), guest houses, or minimalist living. They offer incredible affordability and eco-conscious design.
