What’s the difference between a modular home and a prefab home?

• <div><p>Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.</p><p>In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.</p></div>

What is a good way to save money on a live-in or vacation treehouse build?

• <div><p>Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-composting-toilet-and-does-it-work.htm">composting toilets</a>, rainwater collection, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/want-conserve-water-try-using-grey-water.htm">gray-water sinks</a>, you save money and help the environment. </p></div>

Can you add home addition costs to a mortgage?

• <div><p>You can’t add home addition costs to an existing mortgage, but you can include them in a new mortgage if you take out a rehab loan. Rehab loans—FHA-backed 203k loans and conventional rehab loans—are for more than the value of a property, and the excess is meant to cover the cost of a renovation or home addition.</p></div>

Q: What is a typical floor plan for an in-law suite?

• <div><p>In-law suite floor plans almost always include at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a combination kitchen/living room area or separate spaces for the kitchen and living room. Larger in-law suites built in accessory dwelling units separate from your main structure can feature multiple bedrooms, dining rooms, and entertainment rooms in addition to the necessities.</p></div>

Q: Can you add home addition costs to a mortgage?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t add home addition costs to an existing mortgage, but you can include them in a new mortgage if you take out a rehab loan. Rehab loans&mdash;FHA-backed 203k loans and conventional rehab loans&mdash;are for more than the value of a property, and the excess is meant to cover the cost of a renovation or home addition.</p></div>

Q: Do architects build houses?

• <div><p>Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hire-a-general-contractor.htm">general contractor</a> or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.</p></div>
