conventional loans in ROCs

They’re conventional mortgage loans for manufactured (mobile) homes that are available only in approved resident-owned communities (ROCs) in New Hampshire.
It means these loans feature lower interest rates, down payments, and mortgage insurance requirements than you’ll usually find for manufactured homes. The terms are much more like those for traditional homes.
People who want to purchase or refinance a manufactured home located in one of the approved ROCs. Borrowers must live in the home, and attend homebuyer education if they’re a first-time buyer.
You can use them to buy a home or to refinance your current home, either to lower your interest rate and payments, or make home repairs or improvements.
This is the current list of cooperatives. We hope to add more soon.

Definitely. Lower mortgage interest rates make it easier for homeowners to pay their monthly rent. Also, having low-cost home financing available makes the co-op more attractive to homebuyers, so it helps fill vacant sites and increases the co-op’s monthly earnings.
