If interested in purchasing a manufactured home, prospective homebuyers should scheduled an appointment with a Financial Services Representative to determine what size loan they qualify for based on income and current debts. The appointment, which includes reviewing finance options, down payment requirements and costs involved in obtaining a manufactured home loan, takes approximately 30 minutes.

Step 1: Prequalification

Prospective homebuyers who are beginning to shop for a manufactured home may get prequalified for a loan. It is helpful to bring along pay stubs covering 30 days or W-2 forms. After the manufactured home application is completed and credit file information is collected, the prequalification is good for a limited time.
 

Step 2: Finding the Home

When the prospective homebuyer has found a manufactured home to purchase, a purchase agreement/bill of sale should be received from the seller, a market evaluation of the property is completed and full loan approval is obtained.
 

Step 3: The Closing

A 30-minute closing appointment is scheduled with the borrower(s), seller(s), realtor(s), closing agent and Financial Services Representative to finalize the transaction.
