If I purchased a mobile home and on a rental lot and the wheels are still attached and I plan to purchase a site built home, would I qualify as a first time home owner?

Hi lc and clw,

If you already own a mobile home and use it as your principal residence, you cannot qualify as a first time home buyer. To qualify, you must not have owned a principal residence for the past 3 years.

Post     Post subject: poor credit mobile home loan

I have a credit score of 600. I can not find a lender to even consider giving me a loan. Can anyone point me in the direction of a finance company that might give me a loan. I have someone who will co-sign and I can put up to 20% down. I cant even find a company that accepts a co-signer.

Hi Chris ,

A credit score of minimum 620 is required to qualify for a loan. With a 600 credit score, it will be difficult for you to get a loan in the present circumstances. Is your credit score the only reason why the lenders have rejected your loan applications? Does the manufactured home comply with the HUD-specified standards and is it based on a fixed foundation? Do you have any other debts? What is your DTI ratio?

Thanks,

Jerry

Does anyone know a bank that will even finance modular homes? I am looking at 2 modulars that they consider "steel beam" and no bank will finance them

someacrege, i may know of a program. that it's permanently affixed to a foundation is a plus, and i assume that you actually own the 48 acres. the only other major caveat is that vinyl skirting is not allowed.

rates are probably 2 to 2.5 per cent lower than that 9% you have.

Welcome,

To Wally,

This is a mortgage community and there are lenders participating here who can help you in getting a loan. You can seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation from them. It will let you know whether you would get a loan or not.

To KK,

With a median score of 555 it would not be possible for you to get a loan. You should note that conventional loans are available at a credit score of 700-720 whereas FHA loans are available at a credit score of 620. You'll have to improve your credit score first and then look out for loans. Check out the given page to know more about improving your credit score:

Hi dkr,

You can go for the lease purchase agreement. You will need to consult a real estate attorney and get an agreement drafted by him. Before you enter into the agreement, check your lessee's credit report and payment history.

Hi anonymous,

You can definitely refinance your mobile home, even though it is your second home, provided there is enough equity in the property. But the interest rate you will get on refinance may be higher than that on a primary residence refinance.

Hi chrissy,

This issue has been discussed on the following page:
