The right manufactured home loan begins with the home-and-land setup

Manufactured home financing is not one universal product. A home in a land-lease community, a home attached to property you own, and a new land-and-home project can follow different title, appraisal, escrow, insurance, and approval paths.

That is why our first questions are practical: Are you buying or refinancing? Where is the home? Who owns the land? What year is the home? Is there an existing title or lien? Once those basics are clear, we can help you focus on the programs and documents that may apply.

What clients say

Comments from our Google and Facebook reviews, reproduced as written.

Cindi Lilly is the best. As first time buyers who knew nothing of the process, she was very kind and walked us through every step, patiently answering all our concerns. Her response time was very fast and made the pace of our application run quickly and smoothly. She made us feel important. She is a professional making the road to home ownership for us a success. We would highly recommend her.

I was referred to Santiago Financial from my agent. She wanted me to get pre-approved before making an offer on a mobile home. Right off the bat, they answered the phone directly without an automated directory, and that was a huge plus. I love how they kept me updated on the process and what they still needed. Great teamwork at Santiago — it didn’t matter who I spoke with, they were so helpful! I’m very pleased with them!

Our company has been working with Santiago Financial for 30 years plus. I would highly recommend them. Cindi Lilly and her staff are very helpful and are always there to answer your questions and to make sure your deal gets closed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What types of manufactured and mobile home loans does Santiago Financial offer?

We arrange financing for manufactured and mobile homes including purchase loans, refinance programs, and land-and-home packages. Programs are available for homes in parks (on leased land) and on owned land. Available terms depend on borrower qualifications, property type, and lender guidelines. Contact us for current program details.

What areas do you serve?

Santiago Financial, Inc. arranges loans in California and Arizona only. We work with buyers, dealers, real estate agents, and homeowners throughout both states.

How much do I need for a down payment?

There is no single answer. The down payment depends on the program, your credit profile, the home, and whether the land is leased or owned, and requirements change over time. Rather than planning around one percentage you read online, use our payment calculator to model scenarios, then contact us for an estimate based on the actual property. All financing is subject to credit approval.

What is the difference between a mobile home and a manufactured home?

Homes built before June 15, 1976 are generally referred to as “mobile homes,” while those built after that date are “manufactured homes” built to the federal HUD code. The distinction can affect financing options. Santiago Financial works with both, depending on lender and program guidelines.

How long does the loan process take?

Timelines vary with each transaction, but the process generally moves from application and document collection to approval, appraisal, escrow, park approval, and signing. We guide you through every step. Contact us for a current estimate based on your situation.

Can I get financing with less-than-perfect credit?

We accommodate a range of credit levels and review each application individually. All loans are subject to credit approval and not all applicants will qualify. Reach out and we can discuss options that may fit your circumstances.
