Post     Post subject: Buying a Modular

We have a mortgage on our 1977 that we bought 3 years age. We would like to tear it down and put a modular in it's place and the city says that we can do that. What do we do about financing since we still have a mortgage on the current residence?

To Guest,

You will have to pay off the current mortgage that you have on your existing mobile home. Unless you pay off this loan, you won't be able to get a new mortgage.

To Lacy,

You can contact the dealers who sell mobile homes in order to buy the property as well as get a personal loan. As you've a bad credit, it would be difficult for you to get a conventional mortgage.

Thanks,

Jerry

Post     Post subject: Mobile Home Financing with land

Hi Jessica...We are leasing a double wide mobile home that we have lived in since new. We are buying land 8 acres at the same time. We would like to get a loan to buy the home and the land together. We live in Louisiana. The home has been "tied down" and is bricked around it along with the addition of a front and back porch. Would we be able to get a favorable loan? Please advise.
Thanks

Hi!

Welcome to forums!

To John,

As the property is not situated on a permanent foundation, you won't be able to get a conventional mobile home loan. You will have to contact the dealers giving personal property loans in order to refinance the existing loan or get an equity loan.

To cm,

If the property has a permanent foundation, then you would be able to get financing. You can contact the local lenders giving mobile home loans and apply for it. If you meet the required criteria of the lender, you'll be able to get a mortgage.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I have recently gone through a bankruptcy. If I had a co-signer with good credit, would I be more likely to get an affordable loan for a mobile home?

I own a 2006 manufactured home. It is very nice and worth around 160k. I need to borrow about 75k for debt consolidation. I have 690 fico and own the home out right. It is not in a park but on family land. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi heather,

It won't be possible for you to get a mortgage immediately after bankruptcy though you have a co-signer. You will have to wait for around 2-4 years depending upon the chapter of bankruptcy you file and then apply for a loan.

To Dsfire,

You can apply for a mobile home loan with the local lenders. With a score of 690, you might be able to qualify for a conventional mobile home loan. However, if your home is not affixed to the land, then you will have to go for a personal property loan.

Thanks

Hi mpantoja!

Welcome to forums!

Now-a-days, the lenders have stopped giving zero down loans. If you want to take out a conventional mobile home loan, then the lender will want you to give at least 20% down. If you're planning to take out a FHA loan, then the lender will ask for a 3.5%-5% down.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

We have been in our manufactured home for 3 years and want to refinance, but it seems to be hard to find a bank to lend when you don't own the property. Is there a list of banks that do this service??

Hi!

Welcome to forums!

To Guest,

Unless you own the property, you won't be able to get a mortgage on it. You'll have to purchase the property from the owner and then apply for a mortgage.

To Amanda,

Unless you've a good credit score, it won't be possible for you to qualify for a loan. You should try to rent a property now and start taking steps to improve your credit score. Once your credit score improves, you'll be able to qualify for a loan. You can check out the given page in order to know some steps to improve your credit:

To gagirl,

As your credit is not good, lenders will not be ready to give you a loan. You should improve your credit score first and then apply for a loan.
