Abstract

Manufactured housing, or mobile homes, is often the most attractive housing option for many low- and moderate-income Americans. Reinforcing the concept that it is expensive to be poor, the financing of manufactured housing is often much more expensive than it needs to be. This article reviews how the current financing for manufactured homes functions, explores why it is so expensive, and suggests an important strategy to reduce its costs by pursuing a secondary market for manufactured home mortgages.
