will FHA finance a manufactured property?

Yes, FHA will finance a manufactured home. The are some restrictions...see your local mortgage banker and they should be able to provide you with complete guidelines.Good luck!

No.. FHA does not finance any property.. they only insure loans against default, and manufactured homes are included in their guidelines as an allowable property type for insurance.. the problem you will find is that VERY FEW lenders offer financing on MFH's.. they are the first property type to decline in value when the market sours, and the last to appreciate during a rebound.. Lenders know this and because of recent down turns in the economy, many lenders lost large amounts of money on these types of property, and as a result, have eliminated this property type from their menu of loan products. If you find a lender willing to do a MFH, then expect higher credit score requirements, larger down payments, and higher interest rates. I will say though, that for the very same reason the lenders avoid MFH's, should be the same reason you should avoid buying one.. for not much more in most cases, you can purchase a Single family home that will appreciate along with market conditions, and would be easier to sell in the future if your housing needs change..
