Loan Questions And Answers

 Mobile Home Loans Q & A  

  • What is the Fico range for good, fair & bad credit rating with manufactured lending?
    Good credit is usually defined as the borrowers with few if any past or present collections, good income & credit over 680 fico. Fair credit borrowers would have more deragatories, lower income & credit from 600 fico to 679. Generally bad credit is those clients with a previous bankruptcy or significant ongoing collections and/or leins, significant debt, lawsuits amd/or past or present ongoing foreclosure and a credit score of 599 and below. (in some cases credit score is not the only determining factor for a fair credit loan. We will always try to qualify you fair credit first)
  • What is debt to income ratio?
    Debt to income ratio is the calculation used by us to determine how large of a loan balance your income can support. Typically this calculation is figured by adding all your bill's minimum payments due each month, your space rent & new mortgage payment divide by your gross income.
  • What is the lowest down payment I can put down: for good credit 5% down on land home & in park. In some case we allow for 100% financing when getting the home at a significant valuation.
  • What loan term will be best for me?
    This depends on your goals. If your goal is to pay off the home quicker then a shorter term is suggested. If your goal is lowest payment then a longer term is best.
  • What will my closing costs be?
    Good credit borrowers never pay points & the closing cost for these borrowers is usually $1300 to $1800. Bad credit borrowers will usually have to pay points. Typically, our closing cost ranges from $2700 to $4800 depending on the loan size. (In some cases bad credit borrowers may require more closing cost depending on overwhelming negative factors)We do have no closing cost programs.
  • Can I consolidate bills? Yes. In some cases we actually may have to pay bills to get your debt versus income inline.
  • Can the seller assist with down payment?
    Not on good credit loans. In CA, OR & WA we have a program where the seller can assist with securing part of the risk in a bad credit mobile home purchase loan... they may also assist with closing cost, repairs, fire insurance and home warranty. We do allow gift for down payment. 
  • What items must be prepaid?
    There are no pre-pay items. Typically we allow you to finance into your new bad credit purchase loan up to 2 year of fire insurace, 2 years of a home warranty program, closing cost and up to 6 months of space rent.
  • How long is quoted interest rates good for?
    Called a rate lock, under normal instances we lock the rate for 60 days which is free to the client. 
  • How long will the approval take?
    With a complete file and motivated client approvals take 30 minutes with loan closings in as quick as 3 days for bad credit & 7 days for good credit.
  • Will the loan have a prepayment penalty?
    Absolutely not. Even with a bad credit standing we won't be assigning a pre-pay penalty.
