As you do not have any established credit and as you're unemployed, it would be quite impossible for you to get a loan. You will have to establish your credit first. You can start off with credit cards. Once you have a good credit, you can apply for loans.

Hi cd,

What is your credit score like? In order to get a conventional loan, you should have a credit score of around 700-720. If you do not have so, lenders won't qualify you for a loan. If you want a FHA loan, then you should have a credit score of 620 minimum. Apart from this, you shouldn't have negative items on your credit report. If you have the minimum credit score, then you can contact the lenders and get pre-qualified for a loan. You may even speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation from them. This will help you know whether or not you would qualify for a loan.

Thanks

Me and my wife dont have good credit scores 590 and 588 We were wanting to buy a mobile home, first time home buyers. We have our tax return to put down 1-%or higher on a trailer, but with our scores we didnt know if we could get a loan for one. We have made our payments to the back for another loan with our banck and have never been late or missed one payment. We didn't know if we would be better off going with a loan from our bank or with a HUD loan?

With a credit score of less than 600, it would become difficult for you to qualify for a loan. You will have to improve your credit score first and then apply for a loan. Check out some of the simple steps to improve your credit score:

unidentified, lenders look for a track record. your track record is abysmal. i'm sorry to tell you that your having had a repossession within the last year will disqualify you from obtaining a loan for another mobile home. further, it's going to stain your credit to the point that any other new credit is unlikely for a while.

Hi!

To fl nonnie,

You can speak to the local lenders and check out if they can lend you money to buy an used mobile home. Depending upon your credit score and income, the lender would let you know whether or not you would get a loan.

To just me and denise,

With a bad credit score, it would not be possible for you to get qualified for a mobile home loan. You will have to take steps to improve your credit score first and then look out for loans.

Hi BV/bonner jones,

Are you facing any credit issues? Lenders will not lend you money if you do not have a good credit score. What is your credit score like? In order to get a FHA loan, you should have a credit score of 620 minimum whereas for conventional loans, you should have a credit score of 700-720.
