Manufactured home rates depend heavily on how the home is titled. A home taxed as real property (on a permanent foundation, on land you own or lease long-term) qualifies for FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional pricing close to a site-built home. A home titled as personal property routes to a chattel loan with a higher rate and a shorter term. The sections below cover how pricing works and what a payment can look like.
How Manufactured Home Rates Are Set
Real-property status is the first fork. A home permanently affixed to a foundation and titled as real estate unlocks government and conventional mortgage pricing. A home still titled as personal property is financed with a chattel loan that carries a higher rate.
Beyond titling, lenders weigh your credit, down payment, the age of the home, and whether the land is owned or leased. Homes built after June 15, 1976 with a HUD certification label are eligible; older mobile homes are not.

Locking Your Rate
Once the foundation certification and appraisal confirm the home qualifies as real property, locking protects you while you close. Manufactured home files add a foundation inspection, so lock for enough days to cover the timeline.
We confirm the home qualifies before you write an offer. See the full picture on our requirements page.
Manufactured Home Loan Rates — FAQ
A manufactured home titled as real property on a permanent foundation prices close to a site-built loan. A home still titled as personal property is financed with a chattel loan, which carries a higher rate and a shorter term because the collateral is treated as movable.
Lot rent does not change your interest rate, but it is counted in your debt-to-income ratio, which affects how much home you qualify for. Owning the land instead of leasing it can both improve pricing and increase your buying power.
Titling the home as real property on a permanent foundation is the biggest lever, since it unlocks FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional pricing. A higher credit score, a larger down payment, and owning the land all help too.
