I can tell you how banks would presumably act in the States. Since the giant cluster f%$k with housing here in the U.S., the global banking industry is scrutinizing risk. Here is how the bank is considering you. One, a mobile home depreciates much like a car. That leads to frowning. Two, most mobile homes are easily destroyed. Therefore, banks do not want a possibility of insurance snags. Three, a mobile home is very costly to move and very hard to move under foreclosure circumstances. Basically, the bank sees no value in the amount of money you want to borrow, the return on the bank's money with interest rates, and the fact mobile homes are the worst pitches for bank loans. I would treat this more like a car. If your household income is that good, save some money, and try to get a personal line of credit. This means that you will have cash available to purchase outright. Those loans have much shorter terms, usually 5 years here an have higher interest rates. Those loans, however, can be backed by collateral like a car. Quick math: $15,000 at 8% for 5 years is going to be approx. $304. Personally, I do not see a problem if you work some different angles. Now, if your credit stinks...then the banks frown really badly. Greetings from your intra-continental neighbor to the South!
