What would it cost to tear down a mobile home and replace it with a modular?

My husband and I are looking to buy our own home. I am very interested in modular homes (there are lots of nice ones that I have looked at). We threw around the idea of buying land and putting in our own, but there are so many hidden costs, like drilling a well, hooking up electricity, plumbing, water….all of that stuff. So then I thought about buying a mobile home that recently come up for sale in our area, tearing it down, and replacing it with a nice modular. What kind of hidden costs would we get into there? Does anybody have any idea what it would cost?

can you sell a house that had all the plumbing installed by someone that was not a liscensed plumber?

Would having urethane insulation in the walls of a house make it more difficult to remodel later?

Would it interfere with future home improvements such as room expansion, wiring, or additional plumbing?
Why or why not?

Should I use a General Contractor or Specialist?

I have an older home that needs several things done: new roof, porch repair, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and remodeling of the kitchen and bathroom. What are the advantages of using a general contractor to do the work, as opposed to hiring companies that specialize in one kind of home improvement?
