01
FHA Loans
Low down payments and flexible credit. FHA can finance qualifying manufactured homes on permanent foundations — often a strong fit for first-time buyers.
Financing
Affordable Payment Pathways.
Financing a manufactured home on your land is more accessible than most families realize. We'll walk you through every honest option — and connect you with trusted lenders who understand land + home.
Loan Options
Six pathways most families have never been shown.
The right loan depends on your land, your timeline, your service history, and your county. We help you understand all of them — without sales pressure.
02
VA Loans
If you've served, VA loans can offer 0% down on a qualifying manufactured home + land package — one of the most powerful tools available to veteran families.
03
USDA Rural Loans
Many parcels in Shasta and Tehama County qualify as 'rural.' USDA can offer 0% down financing on qualifying homes in eligible areas.
04
Chattel Loans
Personal property financing for the home itself — useful when land is already owned outright or when a 433A is not yet recorded.
05
Construction-to-Perm
One loan that funds site work, foundation, delivery, and converts to a permanent mortgage — ideal for buyers building from raw land.
06
Conventional Loans
Once a 433A is recorded and the home is permanently affixed, conventional financing typically becomes available — often at competitive rates.
Real affordability
A path to ownership that actually pencils out.
Manufactured homes on owned land can deliver a true monthly cost — including land, home, taxes, and insurance — that beats most rentals in Northern California.
- Down payments as low as 0–5% on qualifying programs
- Often 30–50% lower monthly cost than equivalent traditional construction
- Real property status after 433A — long-term, fixed-rate financing
- Land + home can be financed together on the right loan program
- Local Northern California lender introductions — no guesswork
Credit Guidance
Most families qualify with a little preparation.
A small amount of credit prep can unlock dramatically better loan options. Here's what we coach families to focus on — none of it is mysterious.
Know your score
Pull a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com. Most loan programs work with scores 580+; a 640+ opens nearly every door.
Lower utilization
Credit card balances under 30% of the limit can lift scores fast — sometimes 20–40 points in a single cycle.
Pay everything on time
Even one missed payment can lower your score significantly. Auto-pay the minimum on every account, then pay the rest manually.
Document income clearly
Lenders care about steady, documentable income. Save 24 months of tax returns, W-2s, and bank statements.
Reduce other debt
Lower debt-to-income ratios qualify for better terms. Even small balance reductions can change what a lender will offer.
Don't open new credit during escrow
New credit lines drop your score and can derail a loan in process. Wait until after closing.
