You should have your designer itemize what they are specifiying and the manufacturer, plus whether the items are new or used.

Texas will continue to grow rapidly as more and more manufacturing moves here and to our neighbor Mexico.

I am thinking the commercial (industrial/manufacturing/warehouse) hops the river to Battleground and Ridgefield in WA as the next hot spot.

The owner isn't sure when it was manufactured and on the property appraiser's website, only the land is being assessed.

Credit - (willingness to repay) is one item looked at when doing a loan,the others are "ability to repay" - (income),how long on the job - (usually 2 or more years),the property itself - (mobile, stick built, manufactured), purpose of the property - (to live in, to invest in),the lender - (bank, credit union, mortgage lender, mortgage broker, hard money lender),the type of loan - Conventional, VA, FHA, USDA, the amount down (3.5%, 10%, 20%, 50%)If you are self employed, you will need the previous two years of tax returns and they may require they be audited, not self prepared.interest rates, reserves (money in the bank for a rainy day) and a few esoteric things you can't control like bank policy, government subsidies, etc also play a role.I suggest you contact a mortgage broker in your area.

Would putting a nice manufactured home there work?

I also have worked with realtors in Columbus and with the Intel Investment in New Albany Ohio with what will become the largest chip manufacturer in the world there is a lot of price appreciation that will be coming to that area.

A cash-out on the double-wide would get a max of $77k (max 70% LTV on manufactured investor loans). 

There ARE conventional loans for MANUFACTURED homes built after 1976 on permanent foundation but not for single wide mobile home still on the tracts (that's a car loan)  

I did a van cargo business delivering pallets of car parts and that city is a huge manufacturing part hub with real manufacturing jobs before AI and the robots take completely over.
