Can FHA be used for manufactured homes?
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.
What this actually means.
Manufactured-home FHA loans have different appraisal requirements. Older mobile homes (pre-1976) are not eligible.
Where this can move.
Property classification (single-family, condo, manufactured, 2–4 unit), occupancy, FHA program flavor (standard FHA vs 203k), and lender capability can change the answer.
