Spanning about 71.5 sq m, a flat-packed house will arrive move-in ready, complete with a bedroom, kitchen, independent bathroom – and even preinstalled windows.

I don’t think you’d actually have to pay another $275,000 to fix those problems. The point was that even if you have to spend more money on fixing them, it’s still gonna be cheaper unless it’s more than that. It’s probably not anywhere near that amount.
I get that it was a sort of tongue-in-cheek comment but it is something to consider if you were to consider buying one of these homes.
Mobile homes are a perfect stand-in for these prefabbed houses and are generally considered bad investments financially but also a pain to work on because they don’t use any of the building standards used in traditional homes. Your toilet or faucet goes out and you can’t just buy one at the store because they’re specially made just for mobile homes meaning you’re going to have to special order and pay 5x the price.
