Chattel Lender Lowers Rates to 4.5%: Best ever for home only Manufactured Housing Loans

CU Factory Built Lending, has again rolled out a new loan product with eye-popping low rates for manufactured homes in leased land communities. This leading industry’s lender provided this out of their Seattle office.

Their new floor rate is 4.5%. This is a “step-up loan”, not an adjustable rate loan. The low starting rate is locked in for the first five years, then “steps up” to the higher rate for the remaining term at 7.25% fixed.. This lender’s loan products are always fully amortized. The terms are very flexible and not too difficult qualifying; for example, a guideline that there be no mortgage defaults.

For example, a used 1980 multi-sectional in-community home-only could qualify with 10% down. Assuming top tier credit, the applicant can get a 20-year loan at 4.75% for the first five years, and 7.5% for the remaining 15 years. With 20% down, the start rate would be 4.5%, stepping up to 7.25% after 5 years.

Better yet, for a 10-year loan, with 20% down, the first five years will be fixed at 4.5%, and the remaining years fixed at 6.25%. The borrower may pay the monthly payment based on the higher rate, resulting in an accelerated principal reduction, and saving thousands in interest.

We are told this new “One Step Program” loan product is available in all CUFBL states. Cash-outs and refinances are also eligible, case-by-case. In CA, the older “pre-HUDs” are eligible, but with a 1% rate adder.

This will make financing new and used MH chattels much easier. Our industry needs a good shot in the arm. # #
