Chattel Loans

In-Park Mobile Home Loans (Chattel Loans on Leased Land)

In-park mobile home loans—commonly referred to as chattel loans—are designed for manufactured or mobile homes located on leased land within a manufactured home park. Unlike traditional mortgages, chattel loans finance the home itself, not the land, making them a specialized form of lending that many lenders do not offer.

At Seattle Mortgage Pros, we specialize in chattel loans for in-park mobile homes, helping buyers and homeowners secure financing when others are unable to do so.

What Is a Chattel Loan?

A chattel loan is a type of financing used for manufactured and mobile homes that are not permanently affixed to owned land. These loans are commonly used for homes located in mobile home parks where the homeowner leases the space from the park owner.

Chattel loans typically apply when:

  • The home is located on leased land
  • The home is titled through the DMV, not recorded as real property
  • The borrower owns the home but rents the land
  • The property is in a manufactured or mobile home park

Because the land is not included, chattel loans follow different underwriting guidelines, title requirements, and lender criteria than traditional mortgages.

Chattel Loan Financing for In-Park Mobile Homes

Financing an in-park mobile home with a chattel loan requires working with lenders who understand manufactured housing on leased land. Seattle Mortgage Pros works with specialized lenders that offer chattel loan programs for eligible homes and borrowers.

We assist with:

  • Chattel loans for in-park mobile home purchases
  • Refinancing existing mobile home chattel loans
  • Lowering interest rates or monthly payments
  • Restructuring unfavorable or high-interest mobile home financing

These loans are commonly used for primary residences within mobile home parks and may have specific requirements related to home age, park approval, lease terms, and space rent.
