mobilehome finance: Are You Prepared? - 01/17/10 03:30 AM

Here we sit in the comforts and confines of our own abodes and protected environs watching this staggering and mind boggling epic event unfold from our flat screen TV and online computer. All the while hundreds of thousands these poor souls are experiencing first hand, this horrific turning point in their lives and  not even having one second to stop and think about how this will alter or regretfully even terminate so many of their lives.
There comes a time when we just need to cast all that’s important to us aside and take a moment to appreciate and … (37 comments)

mobilehome finance: WOW!! This Certainly Got My Attention. Sad But All Too Often True - 12/30/09 04:21 AM
WOW!! This Certainly Got My Attention. Sad But All Too Often True. I just wanted to pass this along to the AR community that doesn't subscribe to Realtor Magazine. It's definitely an eye opener if not a barn burner. My thought on the subject? She either got a little too familiar with this client after so many showings and/or she may have run out of patience and became noticeably irritated neither of which will very often not result in a deal.

mobilehome finance: A Short Sale Story You Wont Believe! - 12/21/09 04:36 PM
 
I just received this from one of my best friends who happens to be in a very legitimate loan modification business in San Diego, Calif. He's one of the few good guys in the biz. I can't believe this is really happening and if it is we need to pull in all of our resources and put an end to all this stuff once and for all. I don't know about you but I've had it with all this stuff. It's going to BK America if it hasn't already.

mobilehome finance: REVERSE MORTGAGES FOR THE MANUFACTURED HOMEOWNER - 05/03/09 05:26 AM
With the increasing popularity of the Reverse Mortgage loan product for those homeowners 62 and older, loan processors are dealing more and more with manufactured homes in their portfolios. Many seniors have chosen the manufactured home communities as a retirement refuge and the community and recreational atmosphere lend itself well to word-of-mouth referrals and the spreading the news about FHA and Reverse Mortgage Loans benefits. However, the manufactured home loan presents a new set of criteria for the loan officer and loan processor as well as the borrower so be prepared ahead of time. Certain criteria are absolutes:

mobilehome finance: SCAMS THE RE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT: The truth about Manufactured Home engineered certification, affidavit of fixture, foundation installation, repair and retrofiting. - 04/28/09 03:54 AM
Just wanted to add a slice of humor to a very mundane and boring topic albeit probably the most important aspect of your manufactured home.  Let this serve as a reminder that you, the manufactured home owner, really need to be careful about who you let work under your home.  Don't fall for the many, engineered certification, affidavit of fixture, re-leveling, foundation installation, retrofit and repair, earthquake bracing, hurricane and tornado tiedown scams etc.  There's literally tons of them lurking about trying to seperate you from your hard earned doe.
Unfortunately there are scams in every industry and the Manufactured Housing Industry is no exception. The bad … (2 comments)

mobilehome finance: FHA & VA HUD loans for Manufactured Homes - 04/25/09 11:58 AM
Sat, Apr 25, 2009
As a Manufactured Home Contractor, Dealer, Developer and Realtor specializing in manufactured homes on resident-owned land, I have found that the most frustrating aspect in the marketplace is the loan industry.   Loans and sales go hand in hand with the vibrancy of the real estate industry.   No loans, no sales-it's that simple. 
The main problem is the inability of lenders to understand the manufactured home product in general.    Most lenders roll their eyes at the thought of dealing with a Manufactured Home loan: the loan officers don't think they'll make a big enough commission for the amount of work they … (6 comments)
