Check with the bank to see what kind of terms you can get. It’s always smart to shop around for a loan. However, not all lenders will finance a modular home.
I hope you plan on putting the home on property that you own and not a rented space in a park. You are more likely to get a mortgage and your home value will be better, not to mention avoiding all the pitfalls of renting mobile home park spaces.
You will have to compare and see but I can tell you this much in the car business we get whats called a buy rate from our banks and then mark that up 1-3 points and this becomes the sell rate, this generates whats called back end profits for the dealer and I would bet that modular home finance departments work the same way.
