Mobile Home Loan Refinancing - What You Should Know

While home refinancing is quite common, many people don't know that mobile home loan refinancing is also a viable option as well. For anyone who owns a manufactured home you may want to take a closer look at your options. Here is a look at what you should know about refinancing a mobile home loan.

Why would you want to consider refinancing? Well, the main reasons include a much lower interest rate or loan terms, debt consolidation, or money to buy big ticket items.

How does manufactured home refinancing work? When you decide to refinance your loan you are paying off the loan you now have and signing a new loan that has lower interest rates and fees. This lower payment frees up cash to use however you wish. Refinancing is also something people will do in order to shorten the length of their mortgage.

Regardless of whether your mobile home is on acreage somewhere or in a mobile home park you can still qualify for loan refinancing. With that being said, it is important to understand individual state laws which may be different from others. You should definitely speak with your lender about your particular state's laws regarding manufactured home refinancing.

As with any type of home refinance there will be closing costs involved. Most lenders will allow you to add these costs into the total loan amount or give you the option of paying for them yourself upfront. Keep in mind that while it may seem convenient to go ahead and add them to your balance, you will be paying interest on those fees for the life of the loan. That could add up to a lot of extra money over many years. If you are short on cash then you may not have a choice.

Also, mobile home loan refinancing could involve points in order to get the lowest possible interest rate. This could easily add $1000-$2000 in extra fees that must be paid upfront. But, you also have the choice to add these point fees into the loan as well.

Refinancing a manufactured home loan can be a good move if you will be living in the home for years to come. If you plan on moving within a few years then you may want to reconsider refinancing.

The finishes inside the units are really top notch.

Some of the units even have elevators inside the condos. Drive in and load the groceries in the elevator and up you go to the kitchen and refrigerator on the first level.

Also, the great room has its own bar for when you are done with the slopes and need a little down time to relax with the family.
