Manufactured & Mobile Home Inspection Software

What a manufactured home inspection covers

A manufactured home (built after June 15, 1976, with a HUD tag) requires inspection elements that site-built homes don't:

• HUD tag/data plate — verification, location, photo
• Foundation system — pier-and-block, pier-and-beam, slab, or permanent foundation
• Anchor and tie-down — strap, anchor type, count, condition
• Skirting/underbelly — vapor barrier, insulation, ventilation, access
• Crossovers — HVAC duct crossovers under the home, water and sewer lines
• Marriage wall (multi-section homes) — gasket condition, alignment

Most generic home inspection software treats a manufactured home like a small site-built house. That misses what FHA underwriters, lenders, and insurers actually need to see.

How InspectorData supports manufactured home inspections

Pick the manufactured home template. Walk the home and underbelly. Photograph each finding. The AI categorizes photos by manufactured-home-specific context — anchor photos go to anchor section, crossover photos go to crossover, etc.

Comment library covers:

• HUD-tag verification language
• Foundation type identification (pier-and-beam vs. slab vs. permanent)
• Anchor and tie-down assessment (strap condition, anchor count, code compliance)
• Skirting and underbelly language (vapor barrier, ventilation, insulation, access)
• HVAC crossover and plumbing crossover assessment
• Marriage-wall language for multi-section homes

Reports format to FHA-aligned structure — important for FHA-financed manufactured home purchases.

Why manufactured home inspectors switch software

Manufactured home inspectors are an underserved niche. Most generic home inspection software wasn't built with HUD tags, anchor systems, or marriage walls in mind. The result: inspectors either fight their software, or they hand-build reports that take 3-4 hours each.

InspectorData's manufactured home template was built with these requirements as first-class features. HUD tag is a required field. Anchor inspection is its own section. Skirting and underbelly findings have dedicated photo placement. FHA-aligned format is the default.

Common questions manufactured home inspectors hear

Inspectors specializing in manufactured homes hear a recurring set of questions from buyers, sellers, and lenders. The platform's report templates address these directly so the inspector doesn't have to handwrite the answers each time:

• "Is this a real foundation or just blocks?" — The foundation type section distinguishes pier-and-block (most common, not always permanent) from pier-and-beam from concrete slab from permanent foundation (the type FHA requires for full-rate financing).
• "Is the home anchored to code?" — The anchor and tie-down section documents strap type, anchor count, and condition. Code requirements vary by state and wind zone.
• "What's that smell from under the home?" — Underbelly and skirting section covers vapor barrier breaches, ventilation problems, and standing-water concerns.
• "Will this qualify for an FHA loan?" — The FHA-aligned report format is what underwriters expect. Inspector signs off on the inspection; FHA underwriting decision is the lender's.
• "What about the marriage line?" — Multi-section homes get a dedicated marriage-wall assessment section.

These aren't novelty questions. Manufactured home buyers and lenders ask them on every transaction.
