The Basics

Two sets of rules: USDA and manufactured housing

USDA financing for manufactured homes combines USDA's eligibility rules for area and income with strict standards for the home itself. The home generally has to sit on a permanent foundation, be titled with the land as real property and meet HUD labeling requirements.

Program rules for manufactured homes, including age and condition limits, change over time and vary by lender. Ask me to confirm current requirements before you commit to a home, and whether USDA is available for your purchase today.

Eligible area required

The property must sit in a USDA eligible area, and household income must be within the county limit.

Permanent foundation

The home must be permanently affixed and treated as real property together with the land.

Tighter home standards

Requirements on age, condition and HUD certification can be stricter than for conventional or FHA financing.

Alternatives if it does not fit

If USDA does not work, FHA, VA or conventional programs may still finance the same home.

Common Questions

USDA manufactured home FAQs

Can any manufactured home qualify?

No. The home has to meet age, condition, foundation and certification standards. I check these before you invest time in a property.

Generally the home and land are financed together as real property. Special situations have extra rules.
