Mobile Home Loans

When you buy used mobile homes there are some things that need to be kept in mind.  If the mobile home is very old, then financing is tough to come by. If you do get financing, then the interest rate is very high. You have to take a look at this before deciding on the offer. In considering the options take into account the higher interest rate for mobile homes.

Insurance is also affected by the age of mobile homes. If the home is too old, you may not get insurance. It is important to try to get a reasonable rate of insurance. If your mobile home was built before 1976, then it may have aluminium wiring which is a dangerous fire hazard. They cause sparking and in such case you may need to rewire the home to get it insured.

Stains on the ceiling mean that the home is prone to leaks. Supporting beams could be damaged and wood could be rotten. Spongy floors again need to be checked for. Wet floors can rot. Bathrooms and specifically around toilets can be problem areas. Always remember to avoid mobile homes with such problems.
