@Rachel Gniady Hurst, depending on the project, there are lenders that will lend on a 80% of purchase price (so the buyer/borrower comes in with a 20% down payment) and 100% of construction loan amount with maximum 70% ARV. They offer up to 12 month interest only payments. There are some lenders that will finance more than 80% purchase price but a baseline I'm seeing with lenders that can actually close.

@Michael Rendon, to qualify for most conventional financing, the mobile home would have to have been built after June 15, 1976. I ran into the same problem with a client. If it's built after you can obtain financing but it will affect pricing and the rate will be higher due to it being a mobile home. 

@Aaron Leger, not sure if you're looking for fix and flip lender or long term investment property financing. There are lenders that will work with investors do fix and flips with any level of investor experience where the middle mortgage credit score as low as 660. The lenders with lend on non-owner occupied single family and multi family up to 4 units. The lenders will lend on a 80% of purchase price (so the buyer/borrower comes in with a 20% down payment) and 100% of construction loan amount with maximum after repair value LTV 70%. They offer up to 12 month interest only payments.

Your exit plan at that point (or before the 12 months are up) is to sell the property of finance into a longer term loan if it's going to be a rental such a DSCR loan.

These lenders also do DSCR loans. DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans:

1. Credit score- the higher the best. 760+ generally gets best pricing for investment property loans with most lenders

2. Loan to value ratio: The higher the loan to value ratio (LTV) is, pricing takes a hit. So your pricing will be higher for a 80% LTV loan than for a 60% LTV loan.

3. Are you cash flowing the property? Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing. Many lenders will not do a DSCR loan unless cash flowing. If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit.I've included an example below to help illustrate this.

So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.

See example below:

DSCR < 1

Principal + Interest = $1,700

Taxes = $350 Insurance = $100 Association Dues = $50

Total PITIA = $2200

Rent = $2000

DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91

Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.

DSCR >1

Principal + Interest = $1,500

Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100 Association Dues = $25

Total PITIA = $1875

Rent = $2300

DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23

DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC. It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.

DSCR loans are a great way to supercharge your investment goals and net worth. Depending on the loan program, the mortgage will only be qualified off of your middle credit FICO credit score, down payment and market or actual rents not off of your personal income.

More details:

• Loans available for purchase, cash-out and rate & term refinance
• 85% LTV for single family purchase only with a minimum middle credit score of 720. Purchase price up to $1.5M. DSCR ratio of 1.2 and must have previous real estate investor experience.

• DSCR (lower of gross rent lease or Form 1007/216 rent divided by PITIA) as low as 1.0x.
• Single family home purchases that will be short term rentals can be structured off of AirDNA with a 20% expense factor- for this program only no first time investors. For this product only DSCR ratio must be 1.2 or above. An example for easy math, is the rent would have to be $1,200 or above if the mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA if applicable) would be $1,000 or below.
• Additional program for 2-4 units can be structured off of short term rentals with additional requirements. Minimum 700 credit score, 25% minimum down payment with 1 year short term rental history required. 30% down payment is required with no short term rental history. Minimum 1.25 DSCR based on AirDNA rentalizer. Please contact for additional details.
• Qualify on Interest Only payment which is great for cash flow. 10 year interest only payments converting to 30 years principal and interest. Fully amortized fixed interest loan.

House hacking in that area is a great idea. Important to see how much you're preapproved for first so you can know what to focus on in your search. 

Where is the property located?

@Daniel Purcell, there seems to be a DSCR loan here from what you've mentioned. The rate would be in the 8s most likely, possibly 9s depending on the LTV and credit score. 7s would be with a very low LTV and very high credit. You can get a 30 year fixed DSCR loan. The lender will use your middle mortgage credit score to structure the loan. If two applicants, they will use the lower of the two. If a short term rental, they will usually want to see a year of rental history or they will structure off of an appraiser rental survey. Also, when you bought the property may be a factor depending on the lender.
