1. Find the Right Financing for You
Choosing the right loan can make all the difference. Here are three popular options to consider:
Land & Home Packages

Hassle-free trade-in process

2. Common Financing Questions Answered
Can I qualify if I don’t have good credit?
Yes! Many lenders offer financing options for a wide range of credit scores. Even if your credit isn’t perfect, there may still be loan programs that fit your situation.
What’s the required down payment?
It depends on your credit profile and the loan program. Some lenders offer low down payment options, and if you already own land, you might be able to use it as equity.
Can I use my land as a down payment?
Absolutely! Owning land can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for upfront cash.
What if I’m self-employed?
You can still qualify. Lenders may ask for additional documentation, like tax returns or bank statements, to verify income.
Can I get financing after credit issues or bankruptcy?
Yes. Past credit issues — including repossessions or bankruptcies — don’t automatically disqualify you. Lenders will consider how much time has passed and your current financial situation.
Can I use a co-signer?
Yes. Adding a co-signer with strong credit and stable income can increase your chances of approval and help you secure better loan terms.
Are there programs for first-time buyers or veterans?
Yes! First-time buyers can take advantage of special programs with flexible credit requirements, and veterans may qualify for VA loans with favorable terms.
How long does loan approval take?
The process usually takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the lender and the complexity of your application.
3. What’s Included in My Loan?
Many lenders allow you to include setup and installation costs — such as delivery, foundation, and utility hookups — in your loan package. That means you can move in with fewer out-of-pocket expenses.
