California Real Estate Practice Exam

California real estate law considers manufactured homes:

1. None of the above

2. Personal property

3. Real property

4. Either a or b

The correct answer is: None of the above

In California, the classification of manufactured homes can depend on certain factors. Typically, manufactured homes are considered personal property unless they are permanently placed on a foundation and meet specific criteria set by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. When a manufactured home is affixed to a permanent foundation and has been issued a building permit, it can then be classified as real property. The correct choice from the options indicates that there may be an understanding of manufactured homes that recognizes their unique status. By selecting "None of the above," it reflects the complexity involved in classifying manufactured homes since they can be viewed as either personal property or real property based on different circumstances like their installation and whether they are on a permanent foundation. This classification system is vital for legal and transactional purposes in real estate, affecting how they are financed, insured, and transferred. Each option reflects acomponent of this complexity but does not fully encompass the potential for manufactured homes to be either.
