Hi ingramhuffman!

Welcome to forums!

Did you check it out with other lenders? I think you should speak to a few lenders and check if they are ready to give you a loan. You can also speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation from them. This will help you to know whether you will get a loan or not. You will also come to know about the type of rates you can expect to get.

Hi mar,

If your credit is bad, then it will be difficult for you to get a loan. In order to get a FHA loan, you should have at least a score of 580 and if you want to take a conventional loan, you should have a credit score of 700-720.

You can try and improve your credit score first and then look for a loan. To know more about improving credit, check out the following link:

Hi,

To nannymelva,

If your mobile home has a permanent foundation then I don't think you should face problems in getting a loan. You have mentioned that you are facing a trouble getting a lender. Did the lenders give you any reason as to why they do not want to fund you?

To Dustin,

You can contact other lenders and check if they will offer you a loan on your single wide. You can also speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation from them. This will help you to know what type of rates you can expect to get.

Post     Post subject: Construction on mobile home

We have a 1997 mobile home, on three acres that we own. We have an existing mortgage on the mobile home. We are wanting to add on and close it in with a full basement underneath. We have a great credit score and my husband makes about 50k a year. Is a construction loan possible for a mobile home? If so, what loan do you think would be best.
thanks,
Stacey

I guess you will be able to get a construction loan if your credit score and financial situation is good.

Post     Post subject: mobile home with land purchase

I have found a 1997 mobile home that sits on 1 acre very well maintained, asking price is 69,900.00. My ratio is close but banks will not loan on mobiles, I'm very frustrated and my car payment is causing alot of problems but cannot refinance because of auto loan value has went to nothing. I'm tired of being told no because it's a mobile, I really like this place and it's in my kids school district. Right now I live with my boyfriend so I pay no rent etc.. just would like to have own place, relationship is fine with boyfriend ha ha. Is there hope for me? I do have an app. in process with Rural Development but have not heard anything as of yet. I would need help with down payment and also would like low monthly payments. I know there has to be something out there to help me. My credit score is 660. I filed bankruptcy in 2003 discharged in 2003.

Hi,

To mwalton!
I doubt whether lenders will be ready to give you a loan of such a small amount. You can take a personal loan of $5000 or else you can try and borrow the amount from your friends and relatives.

To myself!
It is not that lenders have stopped giving mortgage for mobile home. I would suggest you to speak to few more lenders in order to get an idea about the rates and terms of mobile home loan. In order to get the mobile home loan, the mobile home should have a permanent foundation to the ground. Moreover the land should not be rented. If you want, you can also speak to the lenders of this community and get a no obligation free mortgage consultation from them. This will help you to know what type of rates you may receive.

Hi,

To Leo,

As far as I know, one of criteria to get a mobile home loan is that it should be situated on a land owned by you. So I'm quite surprised that lenders won't give you the loan because you own the land. As far as rented property is concerned, there are chances that the lender's won't give you loan as you do not stay in the mobile. You can speak to the lenders of this community and get a no obligation free mortgage consultation (check out Sussane's post above) from them. This will let you know what type of rates you can expect to get.

Hi Anneliese,

As the mobile home does not have a permanent foundation, I doubt whether lenders would finance it for anyone. One of the main criteria to get a mobile home loan is that the property should have a permanent foundation. You can ask your borrowers to look out for personal property loan in order to buy the mobile home. The personal property loans are available with the retailers who sell mobile homes.

Thanks
