1971 mobile home nightmare

Posted on: 18th Feb, 2009 05:54 pm
I have a 1971 mobile home that I bought in September of 2000. I am trying to find out when the rule took effect making this home virtually impossible to sell because interested buyers can not get a loan through most mortgage companies. I have never been late on my payment and when I contacted the mortgage company I have the loan through, they strongly suggested that I do a Lien in Lew of. This is crazy. The last correspondence I received from them said they will not finance it to a new buyer but I have to continue paying the loan for the next 23 years. I really need some help and guidance of where I can turn.
Hi teejesse!

Welcome to forums!

Mobiles homes which are built before 1976 do not qualify for mortgage. The lenders are mainly concerned about the life expectancy of such a home as compared to that of traditional home. So you would hardly find any lender offering finance for the property.

I did not understand what you wanted to mean by "Lien in Lew of". Did you wanted to say deed in lieu?

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
