Frequently Asked Questions About Factory-Built Manufactured Homes
Can I Get A Cash-Out Refinance On A Manufactured Home?
Yes. With our FHA, VA, and Conventional cash-out refinance programs at Manufactured Nationwide, you can access up to 80% of your manufactured home's value with FHA, up to 90% for eligible veterans with VA, and up to 65% with Conventional financing, provided the home is on a permanent foundation and you own the land.
Can You Get A Home Equity Loan On A Mobile Home?
Traditional home equity loans and HELOCs are rarely available on manufactured or mobile homes, and when offered they are exception-only, typically doublewide or larger, never singlewide, and capped near 80% on a case-by-case basis. The more reliable path is a cash-out refinance. Manufactured Nationwide also offers an exclusive Mortgage Client Consumer Loan of up to *$50,000 for qualified borrowers that does not depend on your equity position.
What's The Minimum Credit Score For An FHA Cash-Out Refinance On A Manufactured Home With Manufactured Nationwide?

How Much Cash Can I Get From My Manufactured Home Equity?
You can borrow up to 80% of your home's appraised value with FHA, up to 65% with Conventional, and up to 90% with VA for eligible veterans, minus your current mortgage balance.

Plus, with our exclusive Mortgage Client Consumer Loan, you may qualify for up to *$50,000 extra before or at closing regardless of your equity position.
Can I Use The Cash From An FHA Refinance For Any Purpose?

Do I Need A New Appraisal For An FHA Streamline Refinance In The Future?
No. One of the benefits of having an FHA loan is the ability to use the Streamline Refinance program in the future, which does not require a new appraisal or full income documentation.
Can I Refinance My Manufactured Home If It's Not On A Permanent Foundation?
For an FHA cash-out refinance with Manufactured Nationwide, your manufactured or mobile home must be on a permanent foundation. We are happy to discuss your options if your home is not currently on a permanent foundation.
What Documents Do I Need For An FHA Cash-Out Refinance On My Manufactured Home?
Typically you will need proof of income, bank statements, property tax bills, homeowners insurance, and information about your current mortgage. Our loan specialists at Manufactured Nationwide will guide you through the exact requirements.
How Does The Mortgage Client Consumer Loan™ Work With An FHA Cash-Out Refinance?
Our exclusive Mortgage Client Consumer Loan can provide up to *$50,000 in additional, separate unsecured funds underwritten in-house at the same time as your mortgage. It can be used to pay off debt so you qualify for a larger loan, fund renovations, or add a small structure such as a home office or rental unit. It is ideal when your appraised value comes in lower than expected and you cannot access all the equity you wanted. Proceeds cannot be used for a down payment, and it is available to borrowers closing or who have closed a loan with us.
Why Is The Manufacturing Date Of June 15, 1976 Important?
Homes manufactured after this date must comply with the federal HUD Code, which sets standards for construction, strength, durability, fire resistance, energy efficiency, and quality. This date marks the implementation of these federal standards, ensuring the home meets modern safety and quality requirements.
Can I Get An FHA Cash-Out Refinance For A Manufactured Home In New York?

Do You Offer FHA Cash-Out Refinance For Mobile Homes Fixed On Land?
Yes, we offer FHA cash-out refinance options for mobile homes permanently affixed to land owned by the homeowner, known as land-fixed mobile homes. The home must not have moved after its original factory installation and must be built after June 15, 1976.
Who Does HELOCs On Manufactured Homes?
