Whether you’re building your forever home, setting up a second property, or investing in a business venture, modular homes are a smart, flexible solution. And when it comes to financing your modular project, there are a few solid options depending on your total budget and timeline.
Financing a Modular Home as a Primary or Secondary Residence
If you’re planning to live in your modular home full-time or use it as a vacation property, your best option may be a one-time close construction loan through a reputable lender. This is the most popular route for buyers financing the full project.
With a one-time close construction loan, you can finance:
The modular home itself
Foundation work
Land prep and clearing
Utilities such as well, septic, water, or power hookups
Decks, porches, and other site-built features
These loans typically convert into a 15- or 30-year mortgage once the project is complete and are available based on approved credit. If your total financing needs exceed $150,000, this is often the most streamlined and cost-effective option.
If your project total is under $150,000, your best options may include a cash purchase, or exploring short-term personal loans or a home equity line of credit (HELOC). These are quicker to secure and ideal for smaller builds, rental units, or secondary vacation cabins.
