Two ways to finance a factory-built home, and we do both. Standard FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional mortgages when the home qualifies, plus specialty home-only financing for the homes that agency programs will not touch.

Manufactured homes get declined more than any other property type in southern New Hampshire, and it is almost never the borrower's fault. The lender only writes agency loans, and agency loans come with a fixed list of property conditions. As a licensed broker we are not tied to one set of guidelines.
When the home meets FHA, VA, USDA or conventional guidelines.
For park homes, leased land, older homes, missing HUD labels and non-permanent foundations.
We check both options and tell you which one fits.
Neither one is the fallback. They serve different homes, and we write both under the same roof.
Secured by the home rather than the land, which is what makes park, co-op, leased land, and older homes possible.
Standard mortgage financing for homes that are permanently affixed and titled together with land you own.

Eligible on both paths. Which one fits depends on the foundation and the land.
In scope on the specialty program, where most conventional lenders will not go at all.
Built to state building code rather than HUD code, so these finance like a site-built home.
Most of the manufactured and mobile homes we finance sit in Hillsborough, Rockingham, and Strafford counties, where the parks, the co-ops, and the older inventory are. We are licensed in five states, so the same file can be placed wherever the property happens to be.
New Hampshire and Florida. Land-lease parks, resident-owned co-ops, and homes of any age.
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Florida, and Rhode Island, on homes titled with land you own.
Nashua and Plaistow, New Hampshire, plus Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
We also lend in northern and rural New Hampshire and across the Merrimack Valley towns near our Chelmsford office. If your home is outside these counties, call and ask.
Manufactured housing is not an exception we make, it is one of the things we do best. Licensed in five states under NMLS #1621958, with first-hand knowledge of the parks and co-ops across Hillsborough, Rockingham, and Strafford.
Agency and specialty financing side by side. We price the file both ways and place it where the terms are better for you.
A no from a bank usually means the home fell outside agency rules, not that it cannot be financed. Send it to us anyway.
Most pre-approvals go out within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your documents, which matters when a listing draws multiple offers.

Manufactured and mobile refer to the same type of home, built in a factory on a permanent chassis. Mobile is the older term, generally used for homes built before the federal HUD code took effect in 1976. Modular homes are different: they are built in sections to state and local building code, then assembled on site, and they finance essentially like a site-built house.
It comes down to three things: the age of the home, how it sits on the ground, and whether the land is yours. A newer home on a permanent foundation with owned land is usually an agency file. An older home, one on block and post, or one on leased land goes to the specialty program. We check both before recommending anything.
Yes, through home-only financing that is secured by the home rather than the land. We write these in New Hampshire, where most of our park and co-op volume sits, and in Florida as well. This is the situation agency loans cannot serve at all, and it is one of the main reasons buyers in these communities come to us.
We are licensed in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Florida, and Rhode Island, with offices in Nashua and Plaistow, New Hampshire and Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Agency financing on manufactured and modular homes is available in all five states. Home-only chattel financing is available in New Hampshire and Florida.
It is harder to find a lender, not harder to qualify. Many banks and credit unions simply do not offer these loans, so buyers interpret a no as a credit problem when it is really a product problem. Working with a broker who writes both program types removes most of that friction
Most files close in roughly 30 to 45 days from application, with pre-approval typically issued in 24 to 48 hours once we have your documents. Timelines stretch when a valuation, a park approval, or a title issue takes longer than expected, and we will flag those risks early rather than at the end.
To start, just the basics about the home: year built, size, whether it is in a park or on land, and roughly what you are paying. For a full pre-approval we will ask for recent pay stubs or income documentation, bank statements, and identification. Self-employed borrowers have their own options and we will walk you through those separately.
Yes, on either path. If the home meets agency standards you may be able to move into a standard mortgage. If it does not, the specialty program can still refinance it, including homes without a HUD label or a permanent foundation. Either way the goal is a lower payment or better terms than a dealer-arranged loan.
We typically do not charge a direct origination fee on these loans. Third-party costs such as title, recording, and any required valuation still apply, and you will see every line of it on your loan estimate before you commit to anything.
