Can You Finance a Manufactured Home?

Yes. Eligible manufactured homes may qualify for mortgage financing when the property, foundation, land and loan program meet applicable requirements.

See What Mortgage Options May Be Available
Quick Answer Manufactured-home financing is available in some situations, but eligibility depends heavily on how the home is built, installed, titled and attached to the property.

Is This Your Situation?

This May Be Worth Exploring If You Finance a Manufactured Home?

Mortgage qualification depends on the full borrower and property profile.

  • You are buying a manufactured home with land
  • The home is permanently installed on an eligible foundation
  • You are purchasing a primary residence
  • You want to refinance an existing manufactured home
  • The property meets applicable condition and title requirements
  • You want to know which mortgage programs allow the property type

How It Works

How Does This Work?

The lender reviews the facts of your situation under the selected mortgage program.

1

Confirm Property Eligibility

The lender reviews the home type, installation, foundation, title and land.

2

Review Borrower Qualification

Income, credit, assets and debts are evaluated under the selected program.

3

Complete Property Review

Appraisal and any required manufactured-housing documentation are reviewed before approval.

Example Scenario

Buying a Manufactured Home on Owned Land

Imagine a borrower purchasing a manufactured home that is permanently installed on the property and meets the selected program’s manufactured-housing requirements. The lender reviews both the borrower and the property before determining eligibility.

Documentation

What Might a Lender Ask For?

Requirements vary by program and transaction, but may include:

Property Title Information

The lender may need documents showing how the home and land are titled.

Foundation Information

Permanent installation or foundation documentation may be required.

Appraisal

The appraisal must address the manufactured home and property under program guidelines.

Income Documentation

Eligible borrower income must be verified.

Assets & Reserves

Funds for down payment and closing are documented.

Credit Profile

Credit history and existing debts affect qualification.

Why This Matters

Why Manufactured Homes Require Additional Property Review

The selected mortgage program determines how this situation is evaluated.

Site-Built Home

Constructed on site
Standard residential property review
No manufactured-housing title history

Manufactured Home

Built off site and transported
Installation and foundation matter
Title and property classification may require review

The mortgage must qualify both the borrower and the manufactured home under the selected program’s property standards.
