What Type of Loan for Land Prep/Mobile Home?
I am sure there is an appropriate loan for this, but I'm not quite sure which type we're looking for.
We own our land outright, free and clear. Assessment is $20k. We would like to purchase a new manufactured (mobile) home, permanently sited. We would need to have grading work done on the land, and we would need to have a foundation put in. That would cost about $15k. We'd like a loan for the price of the trailer ($32k), and the prep work (about $15k). We would ideally like an option that didn't involve a mortgage and down payment. We don't have a lot of cash free right now.
Credit is just under the 700 mark. We recently paid off a different $18k loan, perfect on the track record, never late on a payment. Income is about $60k per year.
A few folks suggested a personal loan for the $47k might be appropriate. Seems like a big # for a personal loan though. But I don't really know. Educated thoughts?
Should have said also - We could come up with the few thousand dollars down payment on the $32k mobile home if that were the only option. It's just that we're after the best, and least cash-heavy solution to the whole thing. And we actually *will* be visiting the bank to talk to a loan officer in a few weeks. Just wanted to get an idea.
