A loan product secured by the available equity in a manufactured or prefabricated residence is a financial instrument that allows homeowners to borrow against the difference between the home’s market value and the outstanding mortgage balance. These financial arrangements provide access to funds for various purposes, using the residence as collateral. For instance, a homeowner might utilize such a loan to finance home improvements or consolidate existing debt.
This type of financing can be a valuable resource, offering potentially lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans or credit cards, due to the secured nature of the debt. The ability to leverage the existing equity in a residence can provide homeowners with significant financial flexibility. Historically, accessing capital for manufactured homes has presented challenges; this loan product expands financial opportunities for this segment of homeowners.
