Michigan Mobile Home Financing for Homes in Parks
Found a new or used mobile or manufactured home in a park community with monthly lot rent in Michigan? Qualified buyers may be eligible for 5% down with a 600+ credit score. Work directly with Bobby and ask about the special program that may lower your interest rate by 1%, helping you secure a more competitive rate and monthly payment.
Tell Bobby where you are in the buying process.
Many manufactured and mobile homes in Michigan are located in park communities where the homeowner owns the home but leases the homesite. Because the land is not included in the purchase, the transaction usually does not fit a traditional real estate mortgage.
A chattel loan finances the mobile or manufactured home itself. Land ownership is not required, and monthly lot or space rent is allowed. This makes chattel financing a practical option for eligible homes in Michigan manufactured housing communities.
Bobby works directly with buyers, sellers, real estate agents, park representatives, and closing parties. You have one person to contact from the initial pre-approval through closing and funding.
The traditional bank process is designed for real estate, not homes in park communities with monthly lot rent.
Your minimum down payment depends on the occupancy type and credit profile.
Down payment funds can come from cash or money you have in the bank. Minimum down payment requirements and acceptable funds are subject to borrower, property, documentation, and lender eligibility requirements.
Ask Bobby about chattel financing, down payment options, and your next step.

Answers for buyers financing homes in Michigan park communities with leased homesites and monthly lot rent.
Yes. An eligible mobile or manufactured home located in a Michigan park community may be financed with a chattel loan even when you lease the homesite and pay monthly lot rent. Final approval depends on the borrower, home, title, community, documentation, and lender requirements.
Current primary-residence guidelines begin at a 550 credit score with at least 15% down. Qualified primary-residence buyers with a 600 or higher credit score may be eligible for as little as 5% down. Second-home and Buy-For transactions have different minimums. All guidelines are subject to lender approval and change.
Yes. Eligible used manufactured and mobile homes built in 1977 or later may qualify for chattel financing. The home must also meet applicable condition, title, appraisal, community, and lender requirements.
