Hi seller.

Welcome to the forum. I think the buyer need to have 680 or above credit score. So he should try to improve his credit first. BTW he can approve with mid 600 score but the rate will be higher.

Best of luck,
Larry

I own a 1979 double wide that is paid for. I need a loan of $25,000. I have spent the last two years caring for my mother who has recently passed away. We lived on savings. Now I am left with trying to reestablish my life and need to pay off some credit cards and use the rest of the money to subsidize my income while I am building my business. I have begun a new career as an insurance agent. The prospects are outstanding, I just need money to pay my bills until the business pays off. I don't want my credit rating to fall any further (640). Any hope?

Hello carolynmora .

Welcome to the forums.

Do you want the loan against the mobile home? It is tough to get loan against old mobile homes. BTW you should improve your credit score to 680 or more.

Hi, my boyfriend and I are looking into buying a mobile home. That one I'm looking at right now is $40,000 on rented land. Last time I checked, my credit score was 720 and his was in the 700s as well. The problems: I have a decent amount of debt (almost 7 grand) and even though my boyfriend has a high credit score, he doesn't have that much credit to begin with. I recently began a new job a month ago (in the same field for over a year) and his employment history is job changes every year or so. How hard is it for us to get a loan? Our jobs combined make about $55,000 yearly.

Welcome Mekare.

Both of your credit score are excellent and you have good income too. So you should be able to get the loan. Why don't you apply for no-obligation free mortgage quote from the community lenders.

Hi Suzieq,

Welcome to the forum.

I don't think you'll be able to qualify for mobile home mortgages without a permanent foundation. But you may qualify for personal property loans, though they come along with high rates of interest.

Hope this helps....

May god bless you.

When did you get the discharge from bankruptcy? without a permanent foundation, it's difficult to get a mortgage. Better try for personal property loans.

Hi FARMER,

Welcome to our community forums.

I think you're going for a mobile home loan in order to purchase a doublewide. You said your credit is poor. But let me know how poor it is. If it is somewhere between 550-580, you can qualify for FHA mortgages. However, there are a variety of loan options to choose from. And, it's good that you didn't miss a single payment.

You can go for a no-obligation free loan consultation with the lenders in our community. The lenders will analyze your situation based on which they'd offer you a loan that you can afford.

Regards,

Jessica.

Hi Bigggmike,

You have a good score indeed. Smile But if it's a rental property, I don't think you'll qualify for a mobile home loan. but you can go for personal property loans offered by mobile home retailers. Though such a loan may be available at higher rate of interest as there's no collateral involved, yet it's an option worth considering.

Quote:
the loan is fixed until 4/09
Didn't get this clearly; can you please put down some more details?

may god bless you.

Samantha

Our credit scores are 685 and 780. Annual income is 90,000+. We own our land and a single wide mobile home with permenant foundation on it right now. We would like to buy a bigger manufacture home with permanent foundation on our land. How do we go about getting loan/s for this?
