Manufactured Homes Mortgages

Freddie Mac's requirements for manufactured homes are designed so that the mortgages we purchase are originated, underwritten and serviced to help qualified borrowers buy homes they can both afford and maintain. It's important to understand the requirements for titling manufactured homes and perfecting liens on the manufactured home in each state where mortgages secured by manufactured homes are originated.
