Manufactured Homes Explained

MOBILE Homes - The Grandfather to Todays manufactured homes

Before 1976, mobile homes were mass-produced in response to the desire for inexpensive, movable housing, but building criteria were not regulated. Beginning in the early 1900s, people needed to relocate to wherever work was available to support their families, and thus the mobile house was born. The design of these earliest mobile homes resembled that of a modern camper or trailer, with an exposed trailer coupler and wheels that made the house easily moveable. Typically, the residence was constructed on steel I-beams that ran end-to-end and could be installed on concrete blocks, wooden blocks, metal supports, or a concrete foundation at the chosen site. Although the term “mobile home” is still popular outside the federal government, HUD guidelines established June 15, 1976 have classified all mobile, factory-built housing types as manufactured. The department details the energy, wind, and snow requirements for this type of dwelling. Financing for true Mobile Homes is problematic due to their age and no construction guidelines. In most cases cash is the only option for these purchases.

Manufactured Home Financing

Manufactured Home Financing is separated into two categories: Real Property and Chattel. It’s important to understand the difference in real property verse chattel as this has an impact on the type of financing available and the resale ability of the home in the future. Real property is when the home is titled and encumbered with the land. This type of loan is eligible for all government financing and is a traditional mortgage with lower rates and lowers down payments. Chattel means that the home is not considered real estate and is not tied to the land in any capacity. This type of loan typically has a larger down payment, shorter terms and higher rates. The other factors that determine what type of loan is required is the borrowers credit score, debt to income and down payment.
