Manufactured Housing

[Thomas headrick]

I am a Realtor in the stste of Colorado. I have a Manufactured home for sale. This home is a single wide built in 1995. It does have a Manufactures HUD seal afixed to the rear exterior of the home. I have several questions:
1. How would I find out if the home is UBC built/aproved?

2. Where do I find conventional and or FHA Lenders/Investors for financing the sale?

Thank You very much for your consideration. Please advise.

The home would NOT be UBC approved..it is HUD approved..

Finance sources can be found in other areas of this web site...Single sections are a little harder to finance...but the FHA does allow single w/land to be financed..if they are set up to FHA standards...Good Luck

I am looking for a clear definition for manufactured housing as compared to modular housing.
Can you help ? What are the specifications as they relate to FNMA & Freddie Mac?
Thank-you.

If a home is built to the HUD code, a federal preemptive code, it is a manufactured home. Period. If the home is built in a factory, but to a code other than HUD, it is a modular. This could be BOCA, CABO, UBC, or Southern Building. Every thing else is only a characteristic.
