Property Types
Can FHA be used for manufactured homes?
Short answer
Yes, with limitations. The home must be permanently affixed to the foundation, classified as real property, meet HUD code, and be on land owned by the borrower.
Plain-English explanation
Manufactured-home FHA loans have different appraisal requirements. Older mobile homes (pre-1976) are not eligible.
What can change the answer?
Property classification (single-family, condo, manufactured, 2–4 unit), occupancy, FHA program flavor (standard FHA vs 203k), and lender capability can change the answer.
