Our industry's major lender out of Seattle, CU Factory Built Lending, has again rolled out a new loan product with eye-popping low rates for manufactured homes in leased land communities.
Their new floor rate is 4.5%. This is a "step-up loan", not an adjustable rate mortgage. The low start rate is locked in for the first five years, then "steps up" to the higher rate for the remiaining term at 7.25% fixed. This lender's loan products are always fully amortized. The terms are very flexible and not too difficult to qualify for. They don't accept applicants with any mortgage defaults or any mortgage delinquencies in their background.
For example, a used 1980 multi-section in-park home would qualify with 10% down. Assuming top tier credit, the applicant can get a 20-year loan at 4.75% for the first five years, and 7.5% for the remining 15 years. With 20% down, the start rate would be 4.5%, stepping up to 7.25%.
Better yet, for a 10-year loan, with 20% down, the first five years will be fixed at 4.5%, and the remaining years fixed at 6.25%. The borrower may pay the monthly based on the higher rate, resulting in an accelerated principal reduction, and saving thousands in interest.
This new "One Step Program" loan product is available in all states. Cash-outs and refinances are also eligible, case-by-case. In CA, the older "pre-Huds" are eligible, but with a 1% rate adder.
This will make financing new and used MH chattels much easier. Our industry needs a good shot in the arm.
