Financing

Manufactured home financing, explained simply

You do not need to be a loan expert to buy a home. Here is how financing works for new manufactured homes in South Carolina, what programs may be available, and what to have ready.

Step one

Pick your path: home only, or land and home

The biggest factor in your loan is whether the land is part of the deal and whether the home will sit on a permanent foundation.

Home-only loan

Also called a personal property or chattel loan

Finances the home, not the land
Common for family land, land you already own, or a leased lot
Usually a faster, simpler closing with lower closing costs
Rates and terms are often different from a traditional mortgage

Land and home mortgage

The home and land are financed together as real estate

Home is placed on a permanent foundation and titled with the land
Opens the door to FHA, VA, USDA and conventional programs
Often longer terms and lower rates than home-only loans
Can roll in the land, site work and setup costs

Step two

Loan programs you may qualify for

Every buyer is different. A lender will confirm which programs fit your credit, income and property.

FHA

Government insured

Flexible credit guidelines and down payments as low as 3.5% for qualified buyers on land and home loans. FHA also has a program for home-only loans.

VA

For veterans and service members

Eligible veterans and service members may buy with no down payment when the home is on a permanent foundation with the land.

USDA

For eligible rural areas

Much of rural South Carolina qualifies. Eligible buyers may finance a new home and land with no down payment, subject to income limits.

Conventional

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Qualifying homes, including many CrossMod homes, may be eligible for conventional programs designed for site-built style manufactured homes.

Be ready

What lenders usually ask for

Having these ready can shave days or weeks off your approval.

✓Driver's license or state ID
✓Recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns
✓Two to three months of bank statements
✓Land deed, survey or purchase contract if you have land
✓Proof of funds for your down payment
