Mobile Home Park Loans

We specialize in providing mobile home park loans for investors looking to purchase or refinance their mobile home park. Unlike the banks offering 15-year or 20-year amortization, we offer up to 30-year amortization. We have Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Alt-A loans with a 30-year amortization.

What is the minimum amount for agency mobile home park loans?

Even though the agency apartment loan guidelines allow for a minimum loan amount of $250,000.00 dollars most lenders will not lend below $1,000,000.00 dollars. Since the minimum loan amount is $1,000,000.00 dollars , the purchase price or the appraised value should be around $1,300,000.00 dollars to $1,400,000.00 dollars or more depending on the loan to value. Also agency money requires the roads to be paved and have amenities like a club house, pool, basketball court etc.

Is There an Alternative for Mobile Home Park Loans Below $1,000,0000?

Yes, if your loan amount is below $1,000,000.00, we have alternative correspondent lenders for mobile home park loans that can go as low as $250,000.00 dollars.

What determines the rate and loan to value?

The rate and the loan to value is based on where the property is located, the breakdown of the units, affordability, debt service coverage ratio, loan to value, if the loan is a fixed balloon or and hybrid rate product (an example of hybrid is like an adjustable rate in the residential financing), if the prepayment penalty is a yield maintenance or a step down etc.

What is the benefits of financing your mobile home park loans under the agency program versus a bank loan?
