FINANCING YOUR MODULAR HOME LOAN
PLANNING YOUR MODULAR HOME LOAN
From our experience, we recommend that you approach your bank or credit union very early in the building process and make them aware of your intentions and how much you will be needing to loan. Depending on your equity and overall financial situation, the institution will then advise how they can assist you.
It will be necessary to explain to the bank that they will be financing a fully completed new home, no different at all to a new home which may be built on site (it is not a kit home).
Banks will often advise that they will not release any payment to the builder until the home is fully completed, or at least installed on site. We are able to work with this arrangement on the condition that the bank will provide us a copy of the loan approval and a ‘to-be-built’ valuation.
If the bank will not release payments until practical completion of the project, a 1% finance surcharge will be included in your investment to cover our financing costs.
