Construction Loans
-
This type of loan is good if you are purchasing property
for your development. The construction loan is normally set up with draws that
allow you to pay all of your project costs out in increments. You, the buyer,
have the choice on how you would like funds disbursed to your contractors and
at what point the funds are disbursed.
-
Construction loan costs are generally higher than the
standard conforming loan costs.
-
There are several ways to pay for your construction
loan. You have the option to either make interest monthly payments on the funds
that have been disbursed or you can opt to not make any payments during the
term of the construction loan. If you opt to not make interest payments through
the term of construction, the lender can finance 6 – 8 months of interest
payments into the loan, prior to funding.
Conventional Loans
-
This type of loan requires that you have open credit lines. If you have had a
Bankruptcy, the lender will require that the Bankruptcy have been discharged
for at least two years and you must have re-established credit.
-
This type of loan is geared toward the buyer with a good
credit rating.
FHA Loans
-
The FHA loan is a government
insured loan which allows FHA underwriting guidelines to be a little more
flexible than the conventional loan.
-
FHA loans do have a few more requirements than the
conventional loan.
-
The FHA loan is geared for the buyer with a low down
payment and low credit scores, but have current open accounts and are trying to
re-build their credit.
VA Loans
Chattel
Loans (Non-Permanent foundations only)
-
Chattel loans are loans for buyers whose home will be
placed on a non-permanent foundation.
-
Chattel lenders require a minimum credit score of 630
-
Chattel loans are considered personal property so
interest rates for Chattel loans range from 8.75% - 14% depending on your
credit score and down payment.
-
Although Chattel loans are considered personal property
loans, you still do have the choice to either have a 20 year or 25 year term
loan
Reverse
Mortgage
-
A Reverse Mortgage is perfect for individuals over 62
years of age who would like to upgrade their current home with a new
manufactured or modular home. The amount of funds available for your project
are based on you age, appraised value of your property and current interest
rate.
-
Reverse Mortgages have no effect on your Social
Security or Medicare. Everybody qualifies! Even if you have bad credit, you
qualify. There is no asset or income verification required. And the deed for
your property always remains in your name.
-
You will have NO monthly payment, EVER! And there is
NO down payment required.

Interest Rates
-
Interest rates for construction loans are generally
higher than the standard conforming loan through the construction phrase. Once
the construction loan rolls over into a conforming loan, the rates are then the
same or close to the conforming rates.
-
Interest rates for manufactured homes on permanent
foundations are equivalent to stick built home interest rates.
Minimum Down
Payment Requirements

Conventional Construction loans usually require 20%
down
-
Conventional Conforming loans usually require 20% down
-
FHA Construction and Conforming loans require 3.5% down
-
VA loans require ZERO down
-
Chattel loans generally require 5% down. There is an
option for 10% which will allow you to option for the maximum loan term of 25 years.
Benefits
of owning your own property: using equity as down payment
-
If you own property and have owned your property for 1
year or more, you may be able to finance your home with NO down payment, by
using the equity in your land as the down payment.
-
How this works: Once you have given the lender all of
your cost associated with building your manufactured home, the lender orders an
appraisal. The property is then appraised as if the new manufactured home is
sitting on the property and permanently attached. Once your lender receives
that appraisal, the lender will take the equity in your property and apply that
number to your loan as a down payment. This means that you can complete a
manufactured home with no money out of your pocket.
