Re-leveling

Many people don’t understand what re-leveling is or the importance of it. Mobile homes and manufactured homes are all set up basically the same. The home is built on a steel frame. The axils and wheels that are used to transport the home are connected to the bottom of this frame. Once the home is set where it is to be placed, the home is leveled out with hydraulic jacks, then concrete blocks or steel piers are placed under the steel frame to keep it secure. The wheels are usually removed. The concrete blocks or steel piers sit on the dirt. In the southwest united states there is no concrete slab that the home sits on. The manufactures don’t require it. Because the home is sitting on earth, and because of it’s weight, it will settle. If a home is ground set (or at ground level with no skirting) or it has skirting, they are all set up, under the home, the exact same. All mobile homes or manufactured homes need to be re-leveled. If a home is out of level, it can be lifted with the same kind of hydraulic jack system that was used to set it up. To maintain the level, we recommend the home have the supports or piers tightened or adjusted every 3-5 years. Most manufacturers recommend more often then this.

Some signs are obvious the home is out of level. The doors don’t latch or they rub, the skirting is buckling or bent, there are cracks in the walls or ceiling, or you feel like you are walking downhill to name just a few. It is best to maintain the level of your home then wait for these things to happen. Lifting a mobile home or manufactured home with a hydraulic jack that weighs 15,000 – 40,000 lbs is much more expensive then going under the home every 3-5 years and maintaining the level by tightening all the supports. There is also the cost to repair these problems. Superior Home Pros AZ, LLC. are experts in this area. We re-level between 500-800 homes each year. This is not a weekend job for the guys in the park.

reverse mortgage info

Manufactured homes and mobile homes can qualify for a reverse mortgage. There are a few basic requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage and access your home’s equity.

First, the homeowner must be at least 62 years old. Second, the manufactured home/mobile home must be built after 1977 and must not have been moved to a new location from the original set-up location. Third, most banks require the mobile home/manufactured home to have an FHA/VA-approved tie-down system installed under the metal framing of the house. A tie-down system on a manufactured home/mobile home helps protect and stabilize the house in high winds. This tie-down system must then be approved and certified by a State of Arizona licensed engineer.

We work with engineers who approve the tie-down systems we install. With an FHA/VA-approved tie-down system the mobile home or manufactured home will be considered “real property” compared to “personal property.” A bank can give a mortgage loan on real property. The bank's underwriting department will have the final say in whether the house will qualify as well as if there are any other qualifications you must meet.

We have been in business for over 30 years and have installed hundreds of these systems all over the state of Arizona. We can refer you to a manufactured home/mobile home reverse mortgage expert who has done this for many years for Arizona residents. They will walk you through the entire process and answer any questions you might have and can tell you the likelihood of your home qualifying for this type of loan.

There is no cost to get information. Talk to an expert and see if your home qualifies.
