To qualify for a mobile home loan in Los Angeles, lenders evaluate factors like your credit score, income stability, and the condition of the mobile and manufactured home. Additionally, the down payment you can afford to put towards your home purchase will determine what type of home loan you will qualify for. Here are some important facts to consider when determining what type of manufactured home loan is right for you.

-Mobile home loans in Los Angeles are personal property (chattel) loans specifically designed for purchasing or refinancing mobile homes in parks or on private property that are not permanently affixed to the land.

-Mobile home loans in Los Angeles are considered alternative lending loans since they are not permanently secured to the land and do not qualify for conventional or government loan programs.

-Manufactured home loans in Los Angeles are considered mortgages if the home is permanently affixed to owned land, recognized by the county as real property, and do qualify for conventional and government loan programs.

-Interest rates for mobile home loans and terms vary depending on credit history, down payment, mobile home year built, and sometimes the age of the borrower.

-Mobile home loans in Los Angeles located on leased land will require borrower approval by the park to reside in the community.

-Mobile home loans can be purchased with 0% down payment with excellent credit, and even poor or no credit qualify when putting a 35% or greater down payment.

-Manufactured home loans in Los Angeles can be purchased 0% down payment when qualifying for government down payment assistance programs, although the typical manufactured home loans require a 3.5% to 5.0% down payment, depending on the loan program.

-As experts in the manufactured housing industry, our company can close mobile home loans and manufactured home loans typically within 30 days.
