Hi Mrs. Wilson,

Welcome to Mortgagefit Forums.

Generally home mobile mortgage reverse are not applicable to mobile home or co-operative apartments. But there are a few lenders who offer reverse mortgages on mobile /manufactured homes.

The age you have mentioned is suitable to get a mobile home loan but you may have to search for a proper lender for the program as they are not many.

You can also look for the different mobile home loan programs available to check for a suitable mortgage. Kindly, check in here for mobile home loans.

God bless you.

Is it required to be permanantly fixed for mobile homes to get loans?

Although there are some lenders who specialize in financing loans for mobile homes that are not permanently fixed but most lenders finance double-wide homes which are permanently fixed to the foundation.

FHA guaranteed reverse mortgage on manufactured or mobile homes has the following criteria and features unlike a standard home equity line of credit.

The youngest borrower must be aged 62 years or above.
No monthly payment is required as long as you occupy the residence.
The loan is paid off from the proceeds of the sale of the mobile home or by other means when the home no longer remains your primary residence. Your heirs or beneficiaries will not have to pay down the debt.
There is no income, medical or credit requirements.
You can receive the loan advances through different ways and not only as a lump sum amount, in the form of monthly payments or a line of credit on which interest is accrued throughout the loan term.
Funds generated from the reverse mortgage are free from income taxes and do not influence your Social Security or Medicare benefits.
You can pay off the outstanding loan balance on any other mortgage using a reverse mortgage line of credit. So you can retain your home throughout your life.

THe FHA product requires the home to be built on or after 1977 with HUD seals indicating so. Land may not be leased, and a permanent foundation is needed but can be created with the loan procedes.

What constitutes a permanent foundation?

Hi,

A permanent foundation may be defined as a structural system which is capable of transposing loads from a structure to the earth at a depth below the established frost line.

It consists of a closed perimeter formation and is made from materials like concrete, mortared concrete block or mortared brick extending inside the ground below the frost line. Cellars, basements or crawl spaces may be included in it.

Jo Bufanda,

Welcome to the forum. In response to your post, there are other details we would need to know prior to answering your question. Since you are replying to a mobile home post, am I correct in assuming that you own a mobile home? If so, is it on a permanent foundation?

The other factors we need are;

1. The age of the youngest person on title to the home or the youngest borrower?
2. What is the zip code of the property?
3. Do you currently have a mortgage? If so, what is the balance?
4. What do you estimate as the current value of your home?

If you'd like to post your answers here, we'd be happy to provide you with an answer you or if you prefer to talk directly to a mortgage professional you may request a mortgage quote(by using the tab at the top of the page) or contact one of our community lenders directly by searching the directory on the lender tab.

I LIVE IN A MODULE HOME ON RENTED GROUND IN PA. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A REVERSE MORTAGE?

jameshogg · Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 10:56 pm Post subject:

Hi dOROTHY!

I don't think you will get a reverse mortgage because you do not own the land. If you would have owned the land, then you could have easily secured a reverse mortgage.

Thanks.
