Welcome Home Loans
We know how hard it is for owners and buyers of manufactured (mobile) homes to find fixed-rate, long-term mortgage loans.
That’s why we created Welcome Home Loans — for people who have, or who want, the security of living in an affordable manufactured-home in a resident-owned community (ROC) or on their own land in N.H.
Fixed-rate, Conventional Loans
Welcome Home Loans are long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans for manufactured-homes. They are unique because of the low downpayment, no age limit on the home, no minimum credit score, terms up to 30 years, and require no private mortgage insurance.
Welcome Home Loans can be used to buy a new or existing home, refinance your current loan, or add to or improve your current home.
Help with Downpayment and Closing Costs
Depending on your financial situation, we may be able to help you with downpayment and closing costs on your Welcome Home Loan.
If you’d like to buy a new Energy Star home to place in a ROC, our Your Turn assistance offers an additional $35,000 loan to cover those costs.
If you’re buying a pre-owned home in a ROC or on land you own or are buying, and your household income is below a defined level, you may be eligible for $15,000 in assistance.

ROCs Offer More Value, Security, and Better Financing
If you are considering buying a manufactured-home, you should know about the benefits of a ROC.
ROCs are cooperatives owned and run by the homeowners. Residents have greater control over rules and bylaws, access to better mortgage financing (which increases the value of their homes), and more financial security because they have a say in lot fees and park improvements.
Be sure to let your Realtor know you’re interested in buying or placing a home in a ROC.
