Hi!

Welcome to forums!

To Tonya,

This is a mortgage community and not a company. As you are planning to buy a land, it would be better if you could go for a land loan. You can use the land as the collateral rather than the mobile home. You can speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation. This will help you know the type of rates and terms you can expect to get.

To Barbara,

You can contact the lenders of your area and check out what type of loans you can receive. You can also seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation from the lenders of this community. This will also give you an idea about the rates and terms you can receive.

To mad_stout,

With a credit score of 745, you can apply for both FHA as well as conventional loans. As you want to add a new roof and new door, you can also go for home improvement loans. However, you should inform your lender that you would also be paying off your credit card debts with the loan. Whichever lender you choose will pull your credit at least twice - while pre-approving you for the loan and finally before the closing.

tonya, you will find it quite difficult to obtain a loan for the sole purpose of purchasing land. barbara, it would be beneficial for us to know where you are intending to purchase (state).

What is an assumption loan for a mobile home, and can a park manager just negate it because we asked too many questions?

wow.

anyone who would negate anything for someone having "asked too many questions" ought to be someone you wouldn't want to transact business with, anyway.

Post     Post subject: Buying a forclosed manuf home on pem foundation

We found the house of our dreams in the county that was foreclosed but being sold "AS-IS". The house has 3 broken pipes because the previous owners did not winterize it and some very minimal mold in the basement from a water leak from a downspout. Our loan is and FHA loan and the bank that owns the home wont let us in to fix anything so FHA is not going to work. We were then approved for a conventional loan and they then told us they can only cover 80 percent because the house is manufactured. Our closing date is in 11 days and we cant get a lender and the house is going to be put back on the market. We dont have the other 20 percent neded for the conventional ! What can we do? we are almost out of time.

I don't think you would get a owner financing. You should first try to improve your credit score and then look for loans.

Hi offshorewarrior

Did the lenders give you any reason as to why they won't refinance your property? The credit score that you have mentioned is good enough. You may try speaking to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free consultation from them. This will let you know what type of rates you can expect to get.

Thanks.

Post     Post subject: Re-fi

We bought a doublewide two years ago and remodled it...and added an addition. Our big mistake..or one of them was to use our credit to add the addition. Our scores went from the mid 700's to mid 500's. All from maxed out credit cards and loc's. The second big mistake was not getting the pillars (msp?) on the dw done to meet FHA standards. We want to refinance the home and land with cash out to pay off some of the credit we used to build...which would help the credit scores. The addition alone is over 2k sq ft. It's value alone is around $134k. But with the dw attached it's worth about the same..maybe a little more. We had an appraiser look at it and gave us the value. We owe $77k on the land (24 acres). My husband has worked at his job for about 10years and has a good salary.. I'm working as a temp right now. Guess that doesn't help eh? Anyway..are there any options that you know of?

Welcome,

To helpless,

It would be better if you could give further details about your situation. This will help me in answering your query in a better way.

To Wondering,

If you have good credit score and if your financial situation is good, then you can apply for a loan and qualify for it. But your property has to meet the required standards. If your property does not meet the required standards, then it would be difficult for you to refinance it.
