Iowa Mobile Home Loans

Are you looking for financing for an Iowa mobile home? Whether you are seeking to purchase a new property or refinance your existing home, eLEND is proud to do business in the Hawkeye State. Our mobile home financing specialists have extensive experience lending in this area, and love working with homeowners to help them achieve their goals.

Affordable Mobile Home Financing

One of the first concerns that most potential home buyers have is that the cost of financing a mobile home will be high. Similarly many current homeowners are struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments and are seeking a way to bring those expenses down. Our Iowa mobile home loan programs are FHA loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration. This allows us to offer excellent, cost effective terms for these loans, including:

• Low mortgage rates. The interest rates for these loans are generally very competitive when compared to similar programs available in the marketplace.
• Low down payment requirement. Buy a home with just a small down payment. This program even permits the down payment to come from a gift from a family member, or from a down payment assistance programs for borrowers to whom they are available. If you are looking to refinance you don’t have to worry about having a large amount of equity in the property.
• Ease of qualification. These loans are available even to those with less than perfect credit. Worried you won’t qualify for financing? Give us a call to talk through your scenario. What you hear might just surprise you!

No matter where you’d like to buy a home in Iowa, it may be worth looking into a mortgage backed by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Despite the name of the program, some of the fashionable suburbs of cities like Davenport and Cedar Rapids meet USDA geographic eligibility criteria.
