Hi majik!

It will be better if you can do some mortgage shopping. Speak to a few lenders about mobile home loans and see the type of loans they are offering you. You will also find FHA mobile home loans. The maximum loan amount for FHA loans will be:
manufactured home only - $48,600
manufactured home lot - $16,200
manufactured home and lot - $64,800

I am wondering is if there is any little to no money down loans for a owned property with a 1972 mobile? Although the property is located in a primarily permanent home neighborhood, not a court or park and has a permanent attached garage. If there isnt any would the "whole price" have to be a personal loan?

Hi montana!

Mobiles homes built prior to 1976 hardly qualify for any kind of mortgage. As the mobile home that you are talking about are built in 1972, I don't think you will get a mortgage. In my opinion, you can take a personal loan. However, you should remember that you will be charged higher interest rates in case of personal loans.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi terry johnson!

You can use the mobile home as the collateral for the loan if it is attached to the land. You can talk to the lender and I think your loan application will be accepted.

Thanks,

Hi Terry Johnson!

If the mobile home doesn't have a permanent foundation, then you won't be getting a mobile home loan for that. You can try for a personal loan but such loans will come at a higher interest rate.

Thanks.

Hi HB!

You have mentioned that your mortgage is 4 months old. As far as I know, the mortgage has to be at least 7 months old to get a refinance. I think you will have to wait for few months before applying for a refinance.

Thanks,

Hi T. Pearson!

There is a Title 1 home improvement loan available for mobile homes. This is a FHA loan. You can contact FHA sponsored lenders and check if they can give you such a loan.

Thanks,

I'm hoping to buy my first home, a mobile home in PA next Spring but I'm confused. I'm looking between the 20,000-37,000 range, but I've noticed that the mortgage companies start at $40,000, or higher. Isn't there any pre-qualifying mortgage companies that start lower? Also, if there are repairs that need doing right off on the home, do you include that in with your loan request? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Marsha!

Welcome to forums!

I think you should get loans between the 20,000-37,000 range. It will be better if you could consult some other lenders. Moreover you can also look for FHA Title 1 loans. FHA approved lenders offer Title I loans for buying and refinancing the manufactured homes for a loan term of 20-25 years at a fixed rate of interest. The FHA lenders also offer a Title II mortgage loan on manufactured homes. With the help of Title 1 loans, home improvements are also possible.

This community also has a number of lender. You can speak to them and seek a no-obligation free mortgage quotes from them. You can then compare the rates and select the one you can afford.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Sussane.

What financial institute would loan us money for a mobile home in a community that rents the lot? We have bad credit due to husbands illnesses but have a co-signer willing to help us. Can you help?
