As a kid, we quickly learned that we could customize a home built with LEGO® Bricks, Lincoln Logs, and even decorate a Barbie ® Dreamhouse just like we wanted it! But can you have a custom manufactured home? The simple answer is yes. Oak Creek Homes understands that details, features, and design options make a difference. This is why we not only offer a variety of floorplans that come with standard luxury features but also offer customization options for select homes so that you can design your own mobile home to your preference.  Our mission is to personalize your home shopping experience so that your dream home is made specific to your needs.

Design Your Own Manufactured Home

You may be surprised to find that there are opportunities to customize a manufactured home to your liking, but the reality is that the dynamics of manufactured homes are changing every day. Oak Creek is prepared to assist in building your dream home from beginning to end. With over one hundred different customization options to choose from – the outcomes are endless. From modern farmhouse to coastal looks, be in control of your home’s aesthetic.

Floor Plans

Deciding the perfect floorplan is typically where our customers start when picking out a home. The floorplan provides an exact layout of the home’s interior, and some may consider this one of the most important factors. If you are not in love with the floor plan, you may easily eliminate the home from your list of options right off the bat. Oak Creek has tackled this issue by designing almost every floor plan imaginable for a mobile home which can be viewed here (oakcreekhomes.com). Though we’re confident in our selections, small (HUD-approved) changes in the floorplan are made possible in select homes.

Kitchen Options

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home where families can gather after a long day. Those who enjoy cooking will need a functional and appealing place to prepare their meals. Cabinet finishes and sizes are one of many custom features that can be picked by you! We can also provide large farmhouse sinks and countertops of your choice. With over 20 kitchen options, we are sure our designers can arrange a kitchen to suit your needs. Choose your favorite backsplashes and kitchen islands and allow us to shape your kitchen into a space you’ll never want to leave.

Living Rooms

Whether you’re hosting a Super Bowl party or a sleepover for the kids, the living area is an essential piece to making your house a home. Oak Creek values the importance of family and offers many living room options to best fit your needs. A few homes even offer two living spaces for our customers with larger families. A few more customization options include built-in entertainment centers, ceiling beams, and fireplaces to help bring your custom-made mobile home together.

Designing The Exterior of Your Own Manufactured Home

With the exterior portion of your home being the first thing people will see, some may want to start here in the customization process. Oak Creek provides a variety of architectural themes for our customers to choose from. One is the exterior color of the home. Our designers can assist in picking the perfect color for your style and environment. The siding of the home and dormers are also important elements that can assist in upgrading your home and set it apart from other homes nearby.

Color

In the past, you may find that the colors of manufactured homes have been somewhat similar in range. Oak Creek made it a point to change that by offering an array of colors to choose from. If you want to set your home apart from the rest, the color will certainly make a statement.

Porch

Porches symbolize the spirit of America and can bring a home together. Several Oak Creek homes include porches, and the options are plentiful. The first is a covered wraparound porch, which offers plenty of space for socializing and family bonding. If you are more interested in using your porch to relax and enjoy your morning coffee, a porch swing may be exactly what you need. In addition, back porches can be built on select homes for those who want or need the extra space.

Roof and Siding

The roofing and siding of a home are both very important details in designing your custom-built mobile home. Get the look you want starting with hardboard siding. Hardboard siding is not only decorative but also is a great way to protect your home from bad weather. Oak Creek Homes uses this treated engineered wood siding product because it is stronger, more durable, and stable than vinyl siding and other inferior siding productions. This quality material holds up to tough weather conditions. It resists twisting, warping, and cupping. There are other distinctive features to consider including chalet-style dormers, radiant barrier roof decking, even metal roofing. No matter your request, Oak Creek makes customizing your manufactured home’s exterior all about fitting your personal style.

Now that you’ve gotten an opportunity to learn about Oak Creek’s customization options, it’s time to begin the process of designing your new custom home. First on your list of things to do is choosing a floor plan. Just like when you were a kid building with LEGO® Bricks or Lincoln Logs, deciding on your floor plan’s design is the first piece to designing your dream home.  Check out our large selection of homes, we offer over 100-floor plans here. Once you’ve done some window shopping online we encourage you to see our homes in person along with all your design options.

Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 580 to 620 to buy a mobile home.  However, you can still get financing with a lower score. You may have to provide a larger down payment and pay a higher interest rate, though.  Remember, banks want to lend money! So, even if your credit is less than perfect, more than likely there’s a loan program out there for you. Finding the loan that’s right for you will depend on your unique credit profile.  This not only includes your credit score, but also your income, assets, debt levels, and payment history.

How do I qualify for a mobile home loan? 

Qualifying for a manufactured home loan is a relatively straightforward process.

1. Visit an Oak Creek Homes Center and meet with a housing consultant. Your housing consultant will ask about the type of home you want to purchase. They might also ask where whether you’ll be placing it on land, in a community, or along the coast, etc.
2. Your housing consultant will then help you determine your budget. This involves looking at your gross monthly income and current debt obligations to determine your debt-to-income ratio.
3. Next, your housing consultant will show you homes that fit within your payment range. This greatly increases your chances for loan approval once you pick out a home.
4. From there, your housing consultant can help you with your loan application. They can help to choose the mobile home mortgage that best fits your needs.

Let’s look at some of the types of mobile home financing available.

Mobile Home Financing

Your financing options will be determined by your unique credit profile and whether you own your land, are purchasing land along with the home, or are purchasing the home only.  There are many types of loans to choose from, even if you don’t have great credit. A government agency or a private enterprise can back a mobile home mortgage. A private enterprise usually has more flexibility to determine its own risks. This can provide you with more financing options.

A chattel mortgage is a home-only transaction. The home can be placed on your own land, a family member’s land, or land you are renting from someone else.  This includes manufactured home communities. A manufactured home community is a great option if you aren’t ready to purchase your own land or don’t have a place to put the home. Banks provide chattel mortgages. They are not generally backed by a government agency.  This type of loan will typically be for a shorter term of 10, 15, or 20 years. Chattel mortgages will have a higher rate than FHA or VA. Closing costs are much lower. A chattel loan can close in a shorter amount of time than other types of loans.  Down payments for this type of loan can range from 5% to 20%, or higher if your credit is marginal or poor.

•  Land and Home Private Mortgage

Many of the same private companies that offer chattel mortgages also offer land and home financing. These loans will have the same types of terms as chattel mortgages but can be for longer than 20 years.  These banks each have their own scoring systems and loan programs vary slightly from lender to lender.  Overall, these types of loans have much lower closing costs and fees than government-backed loans.

• FHA Loan

The Federal Housing Administration provides banks with a guarantee to ensure the loan against losses but does not make loans directly. FHA loans are available for primary residences only, so secondary or vacation homes won’t qualify.  FHA Title II loans are real estate transactions, so if you own your property it will be part of the collateral to secure the loan.  Rates for FHA loans are quite competitive and are some of the lowest available.  However, closing costs can be higher than other types of loans and generally include interim construction loan fees as well.  Loan terms can be anywhere from 15 to 30 years.  The down payment required can be as low as 3.5%.

• VA Loan

Veterans Administration (VA) loans are another way to buy a manufactured home. To qualify you must be a service member or veteran. This type of loan is for manufactured homes attached to a permanent foundation on land owned by the borrower. If you’re buying the home and land together it must be your primary residence. Being a service member or veteran will not guarantee that you qualify. Your employment history, credit history, assets, and income will be taken into consideration and evaluated. The minimum down payment is 5% and rates are comparable to FHA loans.

• USDA Loan

The USDA Loan is a mortgage option available to some rural homebuyers. USDA Home Loans are guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture. USDA Home Loans are particularly favorable to those living in rural or low-income areas. The downside to a USDA loan is that a Guarantee Fee of 2% is added to the loan’s total amount. Plus, an annual fee of .5% is added to your monthly payment. The minimum credit score to qualify is higher than other types of mortgages. Unlike traditional mortgages, you can be disqualified for making too much money. The maximum limit is 115% of the median income for the county or area you want to live in.

Buying a Mobile Home

Just because you have had some bumps on your credit doesn’t mean you can’t become the owner of a great manufactured home. In fact, buying a manufactured home can be a smart way to start building credit. Since manufactured homes are less costly than site-built homes, they are an attractive option to first-time homebuyers and others looking to start gaining equity. 

Buying a Mobile Home with Bad Credit – Getting Approved with a Low Credit Score

We receive questions about credit scores all the time from potential homebuyers who are concerned that their poor credit will prevent them from owning a new home.  The fact is that there is a loan program out there for almost every buyer.  You may have to meet other conditions and pay a higher rate than you prefer, but options are out there.  Having a good credit score will make it easier to obtain more favorable terms to your liking.

There is More to Getting a Home Loan than Your Credit Score

Your credit score alone does not determine your eligibility for a loan.  Your income, assets, current debt load, and your loan history all contribute to the approval process.  In addition, the amount of the payments compared to your monthly income plays a key factor in determining your loan approval.  This is called your housing ratio. Banks usually want to see you spend no more than 31% of your monthly income on your home payment.  Your home payment is the principal, interest, taxes, and insurance you pay each month.  Certainly, a higher credit score might make the process a little easier and give you a loan with more favorable “terms”. However, a low credit score doesn’t automatically disqualify you from getting approved for a home loan.

Applying for a mortgage on a home that will give you a home payment that is well under 31% of your monthly income will increase your chances of approval.

So, how important is a credit score in determining your ability to get a loan?  Let’s look at what goes into determining your credit score.

What Does a Credit Score Represent?

Let’s take a look at how most credit scores are calculated. Your payment history generally makes up 40% of your score, while credit utilization is 20%. The length of your credit history contributes 21%. The total amount of recently reported balances,11%. Finally, new credit accounts are responsible for 5% while your available credit makes up 3%. All of these values factor into a credit score. A credit score typically ranges between 300 and 850.  The higher the number the better.

Check your credit score regularly with a monitoring service, but don’t let minor fluctuations stress you out. Your credit score is just a snapshot of how you’re managing your credit at a particular moment in time. Paying your bills on time, maintaining low balances, and not taking on too much debt can help to rehabilitate your credit profile, resulting in a higher score.

The Oak Creek Difference

Oak Creek Homes are builtstrong. We use 33% more lumber than what HUD code requires. We also build our homes with more wood than our competitors. See why the proof is in the pounds. This keeps you and your family safer in the event of a tornado or storm. Don’t take our word for it. Listen to what one of our customers, who’s an engineer, has to say:

We have two manufacturing plants in Texas. Right now, if you order a new Oak Creek Home it will take on average about three months to receive. Many of our competitors are experiencing a 10-month backlog on orders. Now is the time to buy before prices rise further and interest rates are still low.
