Types of Financing For Manufactured Homes
- Chattel Financing – This loan is a simple home-only purchase that doesn’t encumber the land. Depending on your credit score, your manufactured home down payments will range from 5% – 20% of the purchase price.
- Your Bank – This option allows you to work with your local bank and secure your funds. Your local Solitaire Homes dealer is more than happy to work with your local banker.
- Land in Lieu Financing – Use your land as your down payment on your new home. Many customers choose this option in lieu of investing cash as a down payment. With this option, your land acts as collateral for the mortgage. Appraised values of the land do have a bearing on the down payment.
- FHA Mortgages – Solitaire Homes has the ability to assist you in securing a FHA mortgage for your new manufactured home.
- Cash – Some buyers may choose to purchase their manufactured home outright and pay cash.
Qualifying For Financing
CREDIT
A lender will assess the credit profile of applicants. Credit scores and credit histories for all borrowers will play a part in the assessment.
INCOME
Borrowers will need to provide detailed proof of regular and predictable income. Employed borrowers will be required to provide W-2’s and check stubs. Self-employed borrowers generally need to be prepared to provide two full years of tax statements. In some circumstances bank statements may be needed as well to document income.
BUDGET
Lenders will typically evaluate the debt to income ratios of a borrower. The objective will be to establish how the new obligation will fit with current obligations. This is done to insure that the payment is suitable for all parties.
