Refinancing Manufactured Homes

Thomas in Floral City is looking to take advantage of the low interest rates and refinance his 6.25% loan. He has a mobile home with acreage and is curious why he is being denied by multiple lenders. Robert Palmer explains.

Financing manufactured homes is extremely difficult. When the housing market busted, forensic auditors were deployed to figure out which types of loans were the most likely to default. Manufactured home loans ended up having an extremely high default rate. This causes most lenders to steer clear of them due to fraud situations and risk. RP Funding is included in this group after finding fraud among some of the dealers. Unfortunately, a few untrustworthy mobile home dealers ruined it for everyone.
