Texas Manufactured Home Loans

A manufactured home, often known as a mobile home or trailer home, is a residence constructed in a factory following HUD’s construction standards. After June 15, 1976, all factory-built homes were called “manufactured home.”  There are difference in the Manufactured Homes, a home that is fully completed at the factory and transported to the site on axles is a mobile home,  a manufactured home that is build in the factory and taken to the build site and assembled on site is consider a modular, which follows the same lending guidelines as a site built or commonly known as “stick build home”.  

One-Time Close Construction Loan

The one-time close construction house loan is used to consolidate the borrower’s home and mortgage into a single transaction with a single closing. By combining the land and manufactured home purchases into a single loan, the borrower saves money by just paying one set of closing fees.
