Buying mobile home for mother who filed chpt 13 and lost home in tornado

Posted on: 27th Apr, 2009 06:42 pm
my mother's home was destroyed by a tornado with her in it two weeks ago. by the grace of god, she survived with minor injuries. i was deployed to iraq when this happen and have been sent home on emergency leave to help her out. i spent all of last week trying to take care of the mortgage company and the insurance company. well, after doing some research it appears her finances are a nightmare. she only had insurance on the outside of the house, so the pay off for the mortgage, she will actually owe $2000. and on top of that i found out instead of asking me for help, she filed chapt 13 over 1 year ago, for only $4500. i can't believe this, but she doesn't understand what she did by filing chapter 13. so now she is homeless living in a hotel room and when it's all said and done she will own her land with no home and bad credit. i found a new manufactured home for $40,000. i have really good credit and thought i could get a personal loan to buy the house for her. but my banks only give personal loans for $20000 and they will not finance a mobile home for me because i will not be the primary resident. the banks will help if i am willing to get a second mortgage or use my house as colateral. i can't do that. i want to help her out but i can't put my house up. i plan to retire in 6 years and i dont need that hanging over me or my husband. do you have any idea on what financial institute can help me? or know of anyone that specializes in mobile homes. i would like to buy it for her and make the payments, while she pays me. kind of like a renter would do...thank you for any help.
Hi bombshellblues,

You can contact retailers who sell mobile homes. These retailers also offer personal property loan to buy mobile homes. You can speak to few such retailers and take a look at the terms and conditions for getting the loan. I hope this will help you in buying the mobile home for your mother.

Thanks
