Mobile Home & Land Loans —
Finance the Home and Land Together.

Manufactured home and land in one loan. FHA and conventional options available. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. No need for two separate transactions.

Why This Is Hard to Finance

Most Lenders Won't Touch Manufactured Homes. I Will.

Manufactured homes are one of the most underserved segments in residential mortgage lending. Most big banks and retail lenders either won't do them at all or only finance the home as personal property — which means higher rates, shorter terms, and no land included.

The right program finances the manufactured home and land together as real property — with a real mortgage, real rates, and a real closing. FHA Title II and conventional manufactured home products exist specifically for this. The challenge is finding a lender who actually works these files.

I do. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas are exactly the markets where manufactured home and land combinations are most common — and where buyers most often get turned away by lenders who don't know the product.

"The home and land together. One loan. Real mortgage rates. That's the goal — and it's achievable."

Real Property — Not Chattel

When the home is titled as real property and affixed to land you own — it qualifies for a real mortgage with real rates. That's the target.

Home + Land In One Loan

No separate land note. No chattel loan on the home. One mortgage, one payment, one closing.

FHA & Conventional Options

FHA Title II allows 3.5% down for eligible manufactured homes on owned land. Conventional options also available for qualifying homes.

What's Required

Key Requirements for Manufactured Home Financing

📅
Built After June 15, 1976
HUD Code Compliance

The home must have been built after June 15, 1976 and display a HUD certification label. Homes built before this date do not qualify for FHA or conventional financing.

🏗️
Permanent Foundation
Affixed to Land

The home must be on a permanent foundation and titled as real property — not personal property. If it's still on wheels or titled as a vehicle it needs to be converted first.

📋
Real Property Title
Titled Correctly

The manufactured home and land must be titled together as real property in the state where the property is located. In some cases this conversion can happen as part of the transaction.

📐
Minimum Size
400 Sq Ft Minimum

FHA requires a minimum of 400 square feet of living space for a single-wide manufactured home. Double-wides must meet standard FHA property condition requirements.

🏠
Primary Residence
Owner Occupied

FHA Title II financing for manufactured homes requires the property to be your primary residence — not a vacation home or investment property.

580+ Credit Score
FHA Minimum

580 or higher with 3.5% down for FHA Title II. Conventional manufactured home products have their own credit score requirements — ask me about your specific situation.

Where I Work These Files

Louisiana, Mississippi & Texas — Where This Program Matters Most

These three states have some of the highest concentrations of manufactured housing in the country — and some of the highest rates of buyers who get turned away by lenders who don't know the product. I know it. I work these files across all three states.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a mobile home loan and a manufactured home mortgage?
A chattel loan finances the home as personal property — like a car loan. Higher rates, shorter terms, no land included. A manufactured home mortgage finances the home and land together as real property — with real mortgage rates and terms. The goal is always the mortgage, not the chattel loan.
My manufactured home is still titled as personal property. Can I still get a mortgage?
In many cases yes — the title can be converted from personal property to real property as part of the loan process. This involves retiring the certificate of title and recording the home as part of the real estate. Ask me about your specific state and situation.
Does it matter if the home is a single-wide or double-wide?
Both can qualify. Single-wides have stricter requirements — minimum 400 square feet, specific foundation standards. Double-wides are generally easier to finance. Both must meet HUD standards and be titled as real property.
Can I use USDA for a manufactured home?
Yes in some cases — USDA has a manufactured housing program for eligible rural areas. The home must be new or nearly new and meet USDA property standards. Ask me about your specific property and location.
Should I call a lender or dealer first?
Always call the lender first. Manufactured home dealers often have in-house financing that is chattel-based — meaning higher rates and no land included. Know your mortgage options before you walk onto a lot. Call me first. Soft pull only.
