Fresno Reverse Mortgage Question about Manufactured Homes.

I live in a mobilehome and am over 62, can I get a reverse mortgage? Manufactured Home

Many mobilehomes (now referred to as Manufactured Homes) can qualify for a reverse mortgage if they conform to FHA Guidelines.  
the basics of the guidelines are as follows:
  • The home must be constructed after June 15, 1976
  • It must be taxed as real property.
  • It must have a permanent foundation.  
  • It cannot have been moved from it’s original site placement.
  • It cannot be in a flood zone.
  • It must be larger than 400 square feet.
If you are over 62 and live in a manufacture home that conforms to the above criteria, it will very likely qualify for a reverse mortgage.  Unless the home already has an FHA loan on it, you will need to have an engineers certification that the home has a compliant foundation.
