Making MoHo's lendable

[Derrick S.]

Simple thought; likely a simple answer.

I'm in Alaska, and there are a good amount of mobile homes / modular homes/ trailer houses on land. These are almost always owner financed or cash-only, because they aren't "real property." In researching, it seems that all it takes to make them bank finance-able is to tie them to a simple foundation.

I'm considering a property that is selling for $50k (2 acres and a moho). If I were to make it bank lend-able, it'd be a $100k property. Does anyone do this? It's a real value add for the market, and lets you undercut the market at the same time.

Tell me why this is a dumb idea, but let's not get lost in what-if's.

Lastly, who are the professionals that I can talk to, to make sure that the work I'm doing will result in a property that is bank finance-able? Would it be a banker, a mobile home dealer, a certain type of inspector?

Thank you. This forum has been invaluable to me!
