Regulations
Good to know before you ask
For FHA-insured loans on manufactured homes, HUD requires the foundation to meet its permanent foundation guidelines, as certified by a licensed professional engineer. Other lenders often follow similar rules.
Closings are often scheduled tight: book the engineer early. We do not certify foundations ourselves and do not show prices.
