Post     Post subject: Prequalify

I guess I should have been more specific with prequalify...

I was told that mobile home loans DO NOT get prequalified. You only get a loan when you pick a house. But how in the world does one know what they qualify for. I think its like a lending bait and switch for people to pick something and then are told they cannot afford it, when, if they KNEW what they could afford, they would pick something in their budget.

I want to know how much a loan would be before I waste anyone's time picking something I cannot afford. Right now I can only guess.

Then, I am looking at bank websites and all sorts of people talk about mortgages...but I worked for a bank before and I KNOW that when they say mortgage, they don't mean a loan for a singlewide mobile home in a park. And I am checking with lenders online and they don't seem to want to do loans in Maine even though there are oodles of mobile homes around.

It is a little frustrating.

I guess I will have to trust the park manager and get his input.

Buying a home is very off-putting.

Hi,

To Maggie,

If you are planning to purchase a mobile home which is situated on a rental land, then the lenders will not be ready to give you a loan. Moreover are your planning to take a mortgage on the mobile home or do you want to go for a personal property loan? I think in case of a personal property loan, you will not have to pre-qualify but you will definitely have to fulfill some other terms and conditions.

Hi angelahatton,

With a bad credit and no down-payment it will be difficult for you to get a loan. You can check out requirements for getting a mobile home loan from the given link:

Thanks.

Hey chasejacob,

Credit history is not formed on the basis of what you bought on credit. It is a record of how an individual has paid back all his debts both secured and unsecured debts in time, whether the debtor has filed for a bankruptcy, foreclosure, deed in lieu etc. It is a record of credit accounts that you have as well as the total amount of credit you have taken in the past. To know more about credit history, check out:
http://www.mortgagefit.com/credit-history.html

If you want to get a new mobile home, you should have a credit history. Apart from this, the mobile home which you are buying should have a permanent attachment to the land. To know more about mobile home loans, check out the given link:

Hi caol girl

You can refinance the loan in your name. This will help you to add your name to the mortgage. If your name is not on the mortgage and in such a situation your husband dies, then the lender can ask you to refinance the loan.

Thanks.

Hey Stephen,

You can contact FHA approved lenders who will be able to help you with a title 1 loan. You can also speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation. Let's hope they can help you in this matter

Hi Bea Black,

Is the mobile home located on a rental land? If it's so, then the lenders will not be ready to give your nephew a mobile home loan. In that case, your nephew will have to take a personal property loan. To know more about mobile home loans, check out the following link:

Hi Kim,

You can borrow it against the title of your mobile home. But as it is not a huge amount, it will be better if you can get a personal loan for yourself. However, a personal loan will come at a higher rate of interest.

Thanks
