The Manufactured Housing Forums

Hi, I purchased my mobile home two years ago for $50,000. I have a ballon payment due the end of May for $40,000.

I am disabled and the federal goverment send me a Social Security Disability check every month. Due to my low income and disability status, I have reached the HUD programs available for me and there are several.

However, I have never have had to deal with a more unorganized and unhelpful federal agency than HUD. I have spent endless hours trying to get a hold of the right agency or person that can help me through the application process. Even people at HUD did not know about the programs offered even when I provided them with the section number.

If you have any suggestion on how I can speak to someone who is familiar with these HUD programs or any other help you can provide, I will be extremely grateful.

I do not want to lose my home and I know that I am eligible for many goverment programs but cannot get a hold of anyone in these goverment agencies that can provide me information or assistance.

Thanks so much, Tracy Van Leeuwen

Were you disabled and in your current finincial situation when you signed a note with a $40000 ballon payment due in two years?If so why?

It is a little late now...most of these programs take months to close...Talk to your lender about some sort of extention or another note for additional time...
