Hi cmodo!

Welcome to Forums!

You can contact your lender and tell him that you require refinancing. If the lender agrees, he will tell you what you need to do.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

I wanted this double wide....it would have been a person to person thing, so we went to the bank to see if we could get the loan to buy it. Getting the loan was no problem, but the bank said that before they would give us the money the double wide had to be moved and set up........the people wouldn't go for that and of course I wouldn't either....is there something else that can be done!!!!!

Hi

You can go for personal property mobile home loans if your dealer or the retailer does not offer you a mortgage on the double wide. I think the retailer will agree on this and will be ready to give you a loan.

Check out more on personal property mobile home loans before you apply for it.

Thanks.

Hi!

To Addy:

You will only get a reverse mortgage if the mobile home has a permanent foundation. If you could arrange for a permanent foundation of the house, then you can easily get a reverse mortgage. Otherwise, the lenders won't agree to give you a loan.

To Mondays:

I don't think it will be easier for you to get a loan with such a low credit score. However, you can look for bad credit home loans. To know more about this, visit the given link:

Hi wondering!

You have said that your debt to income ratio is high. But may I know how much is it? As far as I know, lenders can give loans to people who have a DTI of 36%. However, they will check your income, liabilities, credit score and others. They will also check if the mobile home has a permanent foundation or not. I have also heard that some lenders agree to give mobile home loans to people with as high as 43% DTI.

But I would suggest you to consult some of the lenders. This community has a large number of lenders. You may go for a no obligation free mortgage consultation from them.

Thanks.

I am looking into purchasing a 1986 Doublewide on Permanent Foundation with .62 Acre and a 3 car garage in Delaware. Could anyone direct me to whom they think might be a good company to finance this?

Hi there again. Please disregard my last post as I was unregistered and typed in a hurry. I recently got approved for a mobile home set up in a park. Looked at the home and seen that it was not in my best interest to go forth on it. I been in the market for the last several years in buying a home for the wife, kids and I. The home I am deeply interested in which is not far from me lists at $57900. It is a 1986 Doublewide on Permanent brick foundation. It had a huge addition of a sun room and also has a 3 car unattached garage with .63 Acres.

This is well within my price range. Other homes around here that have land lists for $100k more. It needs some cosmetic work but nothing major. I am looking into who and what my best finance options are. My credit is ok, not sure of the exact score. I have been in my present job now for 4.6 years and in the same line of work for 13. I hold a salary position of $55k yr. Could someone shoot me in the right direction on this? Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in adance!!!

Hi Marvin!

As far as your employment and credit is concerned, you are in a good position to get a loan. However, credit score also plays a major role in getting a good mortgage.

This community has a large number of lenders who will be able to give you a proper idea about the mortgages. I think you should go for a no obligation free mortgage consultation with them.

Thanks.

I have been reading up on the Title 1 Loans. Are these loans available to anyone? If so, how do you apply? The home I am looking into needs some work. Drywall needs replaced in alot of places, etc.. Really looks like someone vandalized it or the previous owner was holding WWF tournaments or something. Even though, it is nothing I could really worry about. I can do alot of the home repairs myself. Only problem is I dont know if it would deter any lenders from giving me a loan based on it's condition.

The land it sits on would probably be worth $40k more alone without the house. Once again I am uncertain. I don't exactly have alot of extra money floating around here. I am the only one working and with todays high cost of living it seems as if I am in a losing battle trying to get mysel a home other than in a park. Hence the reason I am interested in the Title 1 loan. Could someone with a bit more experence give me some insight on whether this achievable? Could this home qualify for Title 1? My location is in Lincoln, DE. 19960 if that helps. Thanks again all.

Hi mreeves!

Yes, you can go for a Title 1 loan. With the help of this loan, you will be able to go for home improvement. One of the best examples of this is the Title I Home Improvement loan insured by FHA.

Thanks,

Jerry

Welcome Martha Rheaume.

As far as I know, you cannot get a mortgage on your mobile home because it's put up on a rented land. Of course you can try for personal property mobile home loans from your dealer or retailer.

Thanks.
