Modular Homes & Your VA Loan
Modular homes are they a different ballgame?

Generally, sections of a modular home are built in a factory and then shipped to a home site. From there, the pieces are assembled by professional contractors, much like a traditional, stick-built home. Modular homes need to meet local or state building codes rather than federal guidelines.

VA Loan For Modular Homes

VA Loan For Modular Homes

Depending on the look, it’s sometimes tough to tell a modular home from a traditional single-family residence.

Veterans looking to purchase an existing modular home encounter the same lending process as a those buying a stick-built home.

Where things can get more complicated is if you’re wanting to buy a new modular home and have it installed on a piece of land.

Lenders will often consider this new construction, and that changes the complexion when you’re talking about VA loan. It’s tough to find VA lenders out there willing to do a true $0 down construction loan.

Often, borrowers need to obtain a construction loan from a builder or a local lender, then look to refinance that short-term loan into a permanent VA mortgage once the home is ready. This is a common pathway for both stick-built and modular-new constructions.
