Jerry Dotson, owner of Alternative Housing Solutions in Fletcher, N.C., said he has bought homes from Mascot since his business opened in 2000.
In December, he heard the company was scaling back its work force and grinding production to a halt, so he decided to end his relationship with Mascot.
"Unfortunately, we saw this coming and got set up to do business with another company," Dotson said."It's upsetting to us.We know some good people that were hurt by this."
Dotson said he has lost thousands of dollars, as several of the homes he purchased were on order.He stands to lose more money if Mascot goes out of business completely.
"All of their homes have a one-year warranty," Dotson said.
