I'd love to purchase a mobile / manufactured home but I don't have the money to pay all cash up front.If anyone knows of any financing programs for mobile homes with the lowest interest rates, please do let me know.

I ended up for my first vacation rental buying pretty much everything new and furnishing the entire 4 bedroom 2 bath 2200sqft house, it ended up costing me a pretty penny, around 25k-30k, but it was all put on a lease program so I didn't have to have it all paid off for 3 years and wouldn't be charged any interest, so the bonus was I furnished the majority of my place without any immediate money down, the reality is for my market at the time there wern't any real luxury rentals, so I knew it would be worth it in the end.I think a lot of what people suggested on here ring true, ross, costco are great spots.

I had a "Mentor" before that came with one of these programs that I spent a lot of money on, but to give this person that title is laughable.I am considering giving it a go with another one that actually provides this type of service.

DC has a program called DC open doors that will give you down payment assistance if you haven't owned a home in the last three years.

Program price list we use is updated monthly, so they say.

It is mortgage fraud to get a loan for a primary and rent it out, especially with a federally backed program!

Go to your local council and school board meetings, never pass up an opportunity to have lunch with a lender or someone in a related profession, join your school's alumni program, etc.

@Francis AI have never used Costco before but did have great success with Zillow.http://www.zillow.com/mortgage-rates/Beware you will likely have to submit most of your docs online and may never meet the lender, but you will get a very attractive rate and program, so if a do it yourself isn't for you, then find someone local.Hope this helps!

So we are looking into programs for renovations and free credit consultations. 

He's currently trying to qualify for a program to reduce the principal balance owned.
