FAQs
Answers To Questions We Hear Most
Do I need to be approved by the park before I buy a home?
Yes — most mobile home parks require approval before the sale can go through. This often includes a credit check, background screening, and sometimes an interview.
What kind of loans can I use for a mobile home?
If the home is on leased land, you’ll likely need a chattel loan — which is different from a traditional mortgage. Not all lenders offer them, so it’s important to work with a specialist.
What's the difference between a mobile home and manufactured home?
Mobile homes were built before 1976. Manufactured homes follow HUD safety codes and were built after that year. Most homes sold today are manufactured homes.
What happens if I am denied by the park?
If you’re not approved, the sale can’t move forward. That’s why park approval should come before or be written into your purchase agreement as a contingency.
