He would give it to me and I could use that as collateral to get the loan. The only problem is that I have poor credit. Is this a problem? The mobile home is a 1997, 3br, 2ba, very nice. _________________ Need help choosing the right loan? Get free consultation from community lenders/consultant

If you have a poor credit it would be difficult for you to get a loan. In order to get a conventional loan, you would require a credit score of 700 whereas to get a FHA loan, you would require a minimum credit score of 620. You need to improve your credit score first and then look out for loans. To know more about improving your credit score, check out the following link: http://www.mortgagefit.com/credit-rating/credit-repair.html Feel free to ask if you have further queries. Sussane

But, in this instance most mobile home business use your land as your approval. If your dad gifts this land to you and it is truly worth 15-25 thousand dollars with no strings attached, and your credit score is justifiable, you have a great chance of being approved through a mobile home sales office that states "your land is your credit". Good luck on your search. I know where have a ton of those here in Texas. They truly do put you in a home and stand by their big sign of stating your land is your credit. TaWana S.
