Land Owned Manufactured Home Loans

Manufactured Homes on Land

Manufactured homes located on owned land can often be financed using more familiar mortgage-style options. When the home and land are combined, financing may offer longer terms and greater stability compared to park-based homes.
At Compadre Mortgage, we help homeowners and buyers understand land-owned manufactured home financing clearly—without pressure, jargon, or confusion.

What Does “Land Owned” Mean?

A manufactured home is considered land owned when:
The homeowner owns the land beneath the home
The home is permanently placed on that land
There is no monthly space rent or park lease
These homes are commonly found in rural areas, established neighborhoods, and retirement-friendly settings throughout California.

Financing Options for Land-Owned Manufactured Homes

Depending on the home, land, and borrower profile, financing options may include:
Purchase loans for homes on owned land
Rate-and-term refinances
Refinance options designed to improve monthly comfort
Fixed-rate loan structures with longer terms
When guidelines are met, land-owned manufactured homes may qualify for financing similar to traditional residential properties.

Refinancing a Land-Owned Manufactured Home

For homeowners who already own both the home and land, refinancing may be an option to:
Lower a monthly payment
Adjust loan terms
Replace an existing loan with a more suitable structure
In refinance scenarios, land equity may be considered as part of the overall loan review. This can be helpful for long-time homeowners who have built equity over the years.

Homes that May Qualify

Land-owned manufactured homes may be eligible for financing when they:
Are built to HUD standards
Are properly titled and located on owned land (original location)
Are in good condition
Meet basic appraisal and zoning requirements
Each property is reviewed individually. Rather than making assumptions, we take the time to evaluate what’s possible.
