Hello,

I have a double wide Manufactured home that is currently rented long term. The original loan is a seller financed loan and has a HELOC on the property.

Im looking to cash out refi to buy out seller financed loan and wrap HELOC all into one.

Anyone have any banks or lenders that work things like this?

Hi Zacharee,

There are definitely lenders that can help with your scenario. The key factors usually come down to whether the home is permanently affixed to the land, the age of the home, and the current value/equity position. If those line up, a cash-out refinance or DSCR-style loan can often accomplish exactly what you're describing.

I've worked with a large network of lenders nationwide and would be happy to take a look and point you in the right direction. Feel free to reach out to discuss further.

     Hey Zach, 

    What is the current value of the property? Is it a double wide built after 1976? Happy to chat and connect.

    The big thing with manufactured homes on the DSCR side is whether the home is titled as real property or still classified as personal property. A double wide on a permanent foundation with the title converted will have options through non-QM lenders for a cash-out refi. Still on a chattel title though and most DSCR shops won't touch it, you'd be looking at a local bank or credit union portfolio product instead.

    Consolidating a seller finance and HELOC into one clean loan on a rented manufactured home is doable with the right lender but the pool is smaller than for site-built properties.

    The two things that determine if this works: is the home titled as real property on a permanent foundation, and does the combined payoff of the seller finance and HELOC sit below 70-75% of the appraised value. If both check out the DSCR cash-out refi path is very workable.

    Happy to take a look if you can share the approximate property value and combined balance you're looking to pay off.

    Is the manufactured home on owned land or leased lot?

    Hi Zacharee, I am a direct lender and can refi on manufactured homes. What it will come down to is the appraisal. Even for manufactured homes that have an affixation affidavit and legally registered as SFH, it will still be appraised lower than a traditional stick build.

    we do a ton of these every month. We can do up to 75% cash out on a manufactured given that it is not rural and is on perm foundation. Strictly investment.

    @Zacharee Carmack Did you find the solution? As mentioned previously 1st step is to identify is this on permanent foundation.

    Refinancing a manufactured rental property to consolidate a seller note and a HELOC is completely doable, but your success rests entirely on the property's legal classification.

    First, ensure the double-wide was built after June 15, 1976, is fixed to a permanent foundation, and has the vehicle title legally retired into a real estate deed. Institutional lenders will require a structural engineer's certification during escrow.

    Because this is a long-term rental, stop checking with retail consumer banks, as most automatically deny manufactured investments. Instead, approach specialized investor-focused platforms (Non-Qualified Mortgage Lenders)
    which explicitly offer DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans for manufactured housing. They will wrap your seller note and HELOC into one clean commercial mortgage, qualifying the deal based on the property's current rental income rather than your personal DTI, typically capping the leverage at 65% to 70% LTV!

    The biggest factor will usually be how the manufactured home is classified. If it's permanently affixed to owned land and considered real property, you'll generally have more refinance options than if it's still titled as personal property. Is the home on land that you own, and is it deeded together with the property?

      Yes it is 

      Well this post has some legs to it! Going to clarify some answers for you and future searchers on this topic.

      Fannie/FHA will NOT do a refi on double wide unless the home is a primary residence or 2nd home (only Fannie). No investment homes!

      There are at least 7 lenders that will do a Cash Out Refi on a Manufactured Home using DSCR underwriting, more if you can qualify with Full Fannie Mae underwriting or Alternative Docs like bank statements or asset depletion. 

      The home has to be on a Perm Foundation (which this is per your post). Homes need to be detitled prior to closing on these transactions - this converts the home to REAL property vs PERSONAL property when it has a DMV Title. They should not have been moved once placed for most lenders. 

      Rural is FINE with at least 4 lenders (with comps).
      Minimum Loan size is $75k with one lender, $100k for most lenders.
      Max Cash Out Loan To Value is 70% on non rural properties, 65% on rural properties.

    I am a direct lender and can help. A few caveats - cannot be rural, and needs to be permanently affixed with shaved VIN.

    Good breakdown of the basics. A few more technical details worth layering in for Zacharee or anyone else navigating this:

    **Manufactured home cash-out refis are very doable, but the checklist is specific:**

    1. **Titled as real property** — The home must be permanently affixed to a foundation and the personal property title (HUD certification label) must have been retired. If it's still titled as personal property (chattel), you're in a much narrower product set.

    2. **Age of the home** — Most conventional and agency guidelines require the home to have been built to HUD code (post-June 15, 1976). Some lenders add their own seasoning overlays on top.

    3. **Loan type matters a lot for cash-out** — Conventional (Fannie/Freddie) does allow cash-out on manufactured homes, but LTV limits are tighter than on site-built. FHA also has a manufactured home program, though cash-out options there are more restricted. DSCR and non-QM lenders vary widely — some are comfortable with manufactured, many are not, so you need to vet that specifically upfront.

    4. **Appraisal complexity** — Finding comparable sales for manufactured homes can be challenging in certain markets, which affects max loan amounts. Worth flagging to the borrower early so they have realistic expectations on the appraised value.

    With 31 years in the mortgage business, I've seen these deals succeed cleanly when those four boxes are checked upfront — and get stuck mid-process when they're not verified at the start. Doing the homework before ordering an appraisal saves everyone time.

    If the property is properly titled and the equity is there, this is a winnable scenario.
