A manufactured home loan finances a factory-built home that is permanently placed on land you own, using FHA, VA, conventional, or USDA programs depending on your situation.
Mountain Country Mortgage compares manufactured home lenders on your behalf, so Northern Arizona buyers find the right program for their home and their land.
A manufactured home loan finances homes built in a factory to HUD standards and placed on a permanent foundation. Homes built on or after June 15, 1976 are classified as manufactured homes and are eligible for standard financing programs.
To qualify for most conventional programs, the home must be titled as real property, meaning it is permanently affixed to land the borrower owns. Homes on leased land fall into a different category and typically require a chattel loan instead.
Mountain Country Mortgage is a broker, not a lender. We compare manufactured home programs across our lender network to fit your home and your land.
Manufactured homes are a common, practical option across rural parts of Northern Arizona, where land is more available and site-built construction costs run high.
Buyers who already own or plan to buy land want the same financing flexibility a site-built home offers, including access to FHA, VA, and conventional programs.
A buyer in Golden Valley owned a few acres and placed a new manufactured home on a permanent foundation. Because the home met HUD standards and the land was owned outright, a conventional program financed the home and the land together.

The distinction is the build date.
Homes built before June 15, 1976 are classified as mobile homes and do not meet HUD standards. Homes built on or after that date under the HUD code are officially manufactured homes, eligible for more financing options.
Yes, in many cases.
FHA offers financing for manufactured homes that meet HUD standards on permanent foundations on owned land. VA has similar programs for eligible veterans. The specific property must meet program guidelines.
Yes, for most conventional, FHA, and VA programs.
Homes that are not on a permanent foundation may require a chattel loan or other alternative financing instead.
Yes, in many cases.
If you are purchasing the land at the same time as the home, or already own land where the home will be placed, some programs allow both to be financed in a single loan.
They can be, particularly on owned land in markets with rising values.
Land ownership is the key factor. Homes on owned land tend to hold and build value more reliably than homes on leased sites.
A standard manufactured home mortgage will not apply.
A chattel loan, which finances the home as personal property rather than real estate, is the option built for that situation.
Yes.
Manufactured homes are a common, practical housing option across the region’s rural areas, especially where land is more available than in larger towns.
