Affordable is our niche. With owner financing, a $40,000 used mobile home runs about $10,000 down and ~$550/mo at 13% for 15 years — often less than what San Antonio renters pay for a one-bedroom apartment.
03Financing & Credit
Do you offer owner financing on mobile homes in San Antonio?
Yes — owner financing is our standard. We hold the note ourselves on every mobile home we sell, so there's no bank in the middle and no underwriting committee. $10K down on single wides, $20K down on double wides, 13% fixed, 15-year term.
Do you do no credit check mobile homes in San Antonio?
Yes. We don't pull a credit report. No credit, bad credit, recent bankruptcy, foreclosure, or repo — none of that disqualifies you. We approve based on income, down payment, and whether the monthly fits your budget.
Can I buy a mobile home with bad credit in San Antonio?
Yes. Bad credit mobile homes in San Antonio are exactly what we specialize in. The bank's 'no' isn't our 'no.' Bring a valid ID, recent pay stub, and proof of address — most approvals happen in under 30 minutes.
What's the lowest down payment you accept on a mobile home?
Our standard minimum is $10,000 down on a single wide and $20,000 down on a double wide. Try our payment calculator to see what a different down payment changes.
What interest rate do you charge on owner financing?
13% fixed for the standard 15-year term. Same rate for everyone — no bait pricing, no rate adjustments, no balloon at the end. Shorter terms available if you want to pay off faster.
Do you finance first-time mobile home buyers in San Antonio?
Absolutely. First-time buyers are a big part of our business. We'll walk you through what to expect on monthly payments, how titling works, what insurance you need, and how delivery and setup work.
Do you offer monthly payment options on used mobile homes?
Yes. With our owner financing, every used mobile home is paid back in monthly payments — typically $400–$900/mo depending on price, down payment, and term. See the calculator for your specific numbers.
Can I owner finance a used mobile home in Texas?
Yes. Every used mobile home on our lot is eligible for in-house owner financing. Because we own the note, we're not subject to bank rules about home age or condition that block traditional mortgages on older used mobile homes.
