I am interested purchasing a mobile home on a rented lot, but the mobile home was built in 1969. Are there any financial institutions or type of loans that would approve purchasing a home of that year?

Post     Post subject: mobile home refinance

I have a mobile home and 2 other buildings on 26 acres in Indiana. I am looking for someone to refinance my loan with. I have been stuck with a 7.25% 30y fixed term since buying the house and property 8 years ago. All the lenders I have spoken with thus far say they will not refinance a mobile home. Are there any lenders out there who will do this at a reasonable rate? Is it possible to get a VA loan at this point?

Hi woody,

Mobile homes are said to be permanently attached if they are set on a permanent foundation and cannot be detached from the land. When a mobile home has a permanent foundation, it is treated as a real estate property and it becomes easier to get a mortgage against the home. But refinancing mobile homes with permanent foundation has also become quite tough due to the depressed economy. There are hardly any lenders who offer loans on mobile homes in this market.

Hi frustrated,

The number of lenders offering loans against mobile homes has gone down in recent times. Many have gone out of business and many have stopped originating loans for mobile homes until the market recovers. This is why you are finding it difficult to refinance your home. If you qualify for a VA loan, you can definitely look for that option. However, there are certain lenders that do offer mobile home loans. I’m not sue if they still offer such loans. But I believe it is worth a try to seek a no-obligation free mortgage consultation with them. They will assess your financial situation, credit scores, etc. and will let you know if they can offer you a new loan against your mobile home.

To stressed,

An appraisal is required to obtain a chattel loan on your mobile home. The appraisal makes sure the loan is secured by the value of the property. The lender needs an appraisal because they want to be assured that their loan amount is secured by the value of the collateral so they do not have to suffer any loss in case the borrower defaults.

Hi jpadames,

Lenders will not want to finance a loan on a mobile home built prior to 1976. Mobile homes need to be in compliance with the safety and construction standards as set by the HUD. Homes built before 1976 do not comply with those standards, which is why they do not qualify for a loan.

Hi pianogram,

There is no such minimum amount limit to finance a mobile home. You can talk to a local lender regarding the loan. You should not have any problem to get a loan of $20k, if you have decent credit and income, and the property meets the HUD specified guidelines.

Thanks,

Jerry
