Single wide or double wide, on your own land. I have been doing manufactured home loans for more than 20 years. In fact, the first loan I ever funded was a manufactured home. You get fast answers and a clear plan from the start.

Applying online is not a commitment to lend or a guarantee of approval. Terms subject to credit approval and underwriting.

Experience

A Lender Who Knows Manufactured Homes

The basics

What Makes a Manufactured Home Eligible

Eligibility depends on the home, the land, and the borrower. Not every manufactured home qualifies for mortgage financing. This is not a commitment to lend.

What to expect

How a Manufactured Home Loan Works

  1. Apply. Start your application online. I review it quickly and tell you which loan options fit.
  2. Appraisal. An appraiser looks at the home and the land and confirms the value.
  3. Engineer's certification. My team orders it. It confirms the home sits on a permanent foundation that meets HUD guidelines.
  4. HUD label verification, if needed. If the HUD labels or data plate are missing and the appraiser needs them, we order the verification through IBTS.
  5. Close. Once everything is in and approved, you sign and get your keys.

FAQ

Manufactured Home Loan FAQs

Do I need an engineer's certification?

Almost always, yes. On some conventional loans it can be waived, depending on the home and the appraisal. The certification confirms the home sits on a permanent foundation that meets HUD guidelines. My team orders it for you. The cost can be paid by the buyer or the seller, and that part is negotiable in your purchase contract.

What are HUD labels and the data plate?

HUD labels, sometimes called HUD tags or plates, are small metal plates on the outside of each section of the home. The data plate is a paper label inside the home, often in a kitchen cabinet, a bedroom closet, or near the electrical panel. Together they verify the home, its age, and that it was built to HUD standards.

What if the HUD labels or data plate are missing?

That is very common. If the appraiser needs them, my team orders a replacement verification through IBTS, the Institute for Building Technology and Safety, which is the source HUD uses for label verification. We handle ordering it.

How old can the home be?

It must have been built on or after June 15, 1976, when the HUD code took effect. Homes built before that date are not eligible.

Do you lend on single wides or double wides?

Both. I lend on single wides and on double wides and other multi-section homes.

Does the home need to be on land?

Yes. The home needs to be on land and treated as real property along with the land. That usually means it sits on a permanent foundation and the home and land are financed together as real estate.

Which loan types can work?

FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional loans may be options, depending on the home, the land, and your situation. I will tell you quickly which ones fit.

Can I refinance a manufactured home I already own?

Yes. If you own a manufactured home on land, ask me about refinancing. The same basics apply: the home, the foundation, and the land.

Do you help outside of Tucson?

Yes. I am licensed in Arizona, Texas, and California, and I help manufactured home buyers and owners in all three states, including the Phoenix area and Texas.

Important information

Eligibility depends on the home, the land, and the borrower. Not every manufactured home qualifies for mortgage financing. Loan program guidelines, including foundation, age, and documentation requirements, are set by each loan program and investor and can change at any time. This page is general education only. Always confirm current guidelines with me before you make decisions.

This is not a commitment to lend, a loan approval, or a rate lock. All loans are subject to credit approval, underwriting, property eligibility, and program guidelines. Not all applicants will qualify.
