It is a good idea to get financing quotes from more than one source. Let the lenders compete for your business. If your credit is good you will find the best deal by searching through what is available in your market.

One of the best ways to do this is via the Manufactured Housing Loan Finder This is a free service. You submit ONE form with your contact information and the participating lenders, doing business in your area will call you to discuss the possibilities.

Get exact amounts, including down payment and monthly payment quotes from multiple lenders. Comparison shop for manufactured housing loans in your state or across the country. Find the one that works best for you and lock in today's low rates now! As inflation continues to heat up the Fed will try to cool it off with higher rates so this is a VERY good time to lock in a commitment.

There is no minimum credit requirement to use this service. We have loan providers in our network experienced in working with a variety of consumer credit histories. Rates and terms offered are determined solely by each individual lender and will likely vary depending on your particular credit history, income and other qualifications.
