A mobile home is just that "a home which is mobile." The mobiles have wheels, unlike a stick house which is attached to a foundation. Mobile homes can be classified as "real property" if the wheels are removed and the home is placed on a permanent foundation.
No, they do not. Mobile homes are often shown after a tornado because they are more easily damaged than a house on a concrete foundation. Mobiles are usually only held in place by steel cables, which are no match for a tornado.
You should be cautious about mobile homes the same way you would be about any other home. You need to be careful the price is right, the foundation is good, there is no mold, everything is to code, and so on.

There is no stigma for modular homes that I know of,but a lot of people are miss informed about modular construction. Most people are confusing mobile homes with modular homes and there is a stigma about mobile homes and mobile home parks. Another confusing part is the term that is used to describe mobile homes.
