FHA Manufactured Home Loan Program

by


This program insures mortgage loans made by private lending institutions to finance the purchase of a used or new manufactured home.

Since 1969, HUD has been providing loan insurance on manufactured homes under Title I. HUD's participation has encouraged mortgage lenders to finance manufactured homes by protecting them against the risk of default, which had traditionally been financed as personal property through short-term, comparatively high-interest consumer installment loans. The program thereby increases the availability of affordable mortgages and financing for buyers of manufactured homes and allows buyers to finance their home purchase at a lower interest rate and longer term than with conventional loans.

The program insures lenders against loss from default on loans of up to $48,600. The program insures private lenders against losses of up to 90 percent of the value of a single loan. Total insurance coverage is limited to 10 percent of the lender's Title I portfolio. The buyer must agree to make a 5 percent down payment and interest rate payments determined by the lender. Annual insurance charges start at $1 per $100 of the loan amount, but are reduced in the later years of the loan. The maximum loan term varies from 20 to 25 years.
