Is it possible to finance a Manufactured home with no down payment?
Q. I really want to buy a home I have been looking at and it is a manufactured home. Can you get 100% financing on a manufactured home? Why do you say that Mortgageman?
Asked by amberamber - Thu Aug 16 13:51:35 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is possible, but pretty difficult to find a lender that offers it. You can also expect to get a much higher interst rate than you would with a stick built home, which will also increase your monthly payment.

A. I suggest reading more from some of these sources. You can search on this public website for most homes in Washtenaw County (this is not my website or my companies) Once you select up to five areas, you simply enter your comfortable price range and can choose various types of architecture. This site will not contain manufactured homes within a manufactured community. The home must be on owned, not rented land. I cannot answer your question about will you freeze, this would vary by any structure and would require an independent investigation.

A. The FDA allows a certain amount of poison stuff. Did you realize that virtually everything is toxic. [A central concept of toxicology is that effects are dose-dependent; even water can lead to water intoxication when taken in large enough doses, whereas for even a very toxic substance such as snake venom there is a dose below which there is no detectable toxic effect.] Different people tolerate different substances to different degrees. [Aspirin overdose can be acute or chronic. In acute poisoning, a single large dose is taken; in chronic poisoning, higher than normal doses are taken over a period of time. Acute overdose has a mortality rate of 2%. Chronic overdose is more commonly lethal with a mortality rate of 25%; chronic overdose… [cont.]

Can I take out a home loan for land and a manufactured loan?
Q. By home loan I mean a home loan and not a personal property loan like on a trailer home/manufactured home in a trailer court. I qualified for a home loan and I want to keep it cheap, so I want to purchase a piece of land and a manufactured home. Wil this work as a home loan if its on private land? Wow, there is quite the array of scams out there! Why would anyone take out a loan from the internet without talking to someone face to face?
Asked by Jak K - Tue May 8 16:09:07 2007 - - 0 Answers - 4 Comments

A. To have a mortgage loan you must have land involved, so no trailer park rentals. Lender's are not fond of mobile homes because they lose value - unlike a stick-built home which will appreciate in value. You are unlikely to find 100% financing for a mobile home. 90% or less is the norm and that is with good credit. Your interest rate will be higher as well. If you are buying this as an investment (in your own future-not as an investment property) you should look into a modular home. Anything but a mobile. You won't get out what you put into a mobile. That said, there are some very nice mobile homes out there.

A. First, go to or which are search engines for companies in China, try to find those that may manufacture such or similar products, send a few e-mails with your inquiries and that should start it nicely. Of course, then you would have to meet with relevant people, present your ideas (hire an interpretor while you are there), protect your product, get a local tax/accounting/legal adviser and so on.

A. depends... is the home and land declared real estate in the tax office ? if the home has a title and tags still then no. But if it is real estate many banks and credit unions will if your credit is good. Call a few LOCAL mortgage brokers ( not the internet scam ones ) there is private money usually available but the interest rates are a little high

How difficult would it be to put a foundation under a manufactured home?
Q. I have a manufactured home that is up on blocks. I want to put a foundation under it. Is there a farely quick and affordable way to do this? First, thank you for your help. $1200 is affordable to me. Would the house have to have the plumbing and electrical disconnected and all of that? I'm getting some really good comments so here is some additional info and I appreciate your time and answers. I don't want a basement, I just want to place it on some kind of foundation like blocks or something. It's not a regular mobile home it's a little bigger than a double wide and shaped differently. There are no wheels it sits on blocks and is considered real property already. It was built in 1989. Thank you again.

A. With no offense to the first 2, I've been in this GAME a LONG time, as well I have lived in 3 mobiles. The issues are multiple and defined by details you DON'T give, IE: jacking up the mobile, removing the wheels or carriage, pouring a slab, and adding proper support structures,,,OR crafting footers at the perimeter, installing Block, to an appropriate height, jacking the mobile, then re-setting it on a perimeter foundation, much like a crawl space/basement. Obviously you have to connect with a Zoning/Code govt. agency local to you, often available through info supplied at a local TAG office, or Tax office. Quick and affordable are relative. Steven Wolf

Asked by silver wings - Thu Oct 4 21:01:36 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. And along with the "pretend you are buying a car" line of thinking, recognize going into this, that the manufactured home you buy will appreciate just like a car would. Meaning, immediately you will upside down on the loan. You will most likely never sell it for more than you paid for it, and it you will probably owe money when you go to sell. My best friend has been doing mortgages for 20 years, and I just asked her last week if she ever saw one sell for more than it was purchased for. She said only once, in 20 years, and that was only because it was on 80 acres of land.

I have seen inside both units, so I need someone who really knows to answer. compare prices at Home Depot a big difference. Nobody has given me an answer that I haven't already checked on either. Remember the water heater manufacturers could only tell me that it is just what is said on the labels on the water heater.They could not say that there was really any difference.

Can/how you repair expansion gaps in the seam of a manufactured home?
Q. We are thinking about buying a manufactured home set on a foundation. When looking at the house for the first time the owner showed us these gaps (max 1/4in) in the interior walls and ceilings of the home. He says they completely seal up in the summer time and are unnoticeable. Do I need to be worried about this when buying the home, and is there some sort of permanant fix?
Asked by blnalder - Tue Apr 8 11:59:40 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Not that I like manufacture homes myself but the owner is correct expansion is required for these homes and should not be wider than 1/4" for natrual expansion and contraction Concrete, wood, cmu block all these houses or buildings have expansion controll. I do inspection for commercial buildings and if there not in its a problem. This allows for the material to breath. If you look in your lowes or home depot or any expose block building you will see a cap between wall expansion for this very reason. Concrete floor will be section out or saw cut for natrual expansion and contraction to prevent any structural damge. And the reason you dont see this in other homes is they are built onsite and are concealed at that point buy siding etc.
