Loan types

21st Mortgage Corporation offers fixed-rate loans specifically for manufactured or mobile home purchases and refinances. The company offers terms of up to 25 or 30 years, depending on the type of home and property you purchase.

Its loan programs include:

  • Home Only
  • Land Home
  • Land Only
  • Land-in-Lieu of Down Payment
  • Refinancing
  • Financing for 21st Repossessed Homes

Application process

Getting a home loan from 21st Mortgage Corporation is similar to the traditional mortgage application processes. You can apply for a loan by visiting 21st Mortgage Corporation’s website and clicking “Apply Now.” From there, you’ll create an account and start an application. The application will generally ask for personal and financial information, along with details about the home you’d like to purchase.

Once you complete and submit an application, a mortgage loan officer will reach out to you with an approval decision. If approved, you can move forward with receiving a loan for your manufactured or mobile home. The entire process, from the loan application to closing, should take about four to eight weeks, depending on the type of property you’re buying.

Eva, a reviewer from Louisiana, had this to say about their experience with 21st Mortgage Corporation:

“I hate doing stuff online and I would rather [have] been there to sit down with 21st Mortgage but they're not here in Louisiana. [...] The application and underwriting process took about a month. [...] The rep was great. She was there to answer [any time] I had a problem or a question. She was very helpful.”

21st Mortgage Corporation application process features

The table below shows some of 21st Mortgage Corporation’s application process features:

Requirements

21st Mortgage Corporation doesn’t have a minimum credit score requirement for most of its loans, but borrowers with a credit score below 575 may have to put down at least 35% to qualify. The company states that typical down payment requirements range from 5% to 35%, but there are also 0% down options available.

21st Mortgage also has requirements that your home must meet to qualify for financing. For example, the structure must have working plumbing, appliances and wiring. It also must meet all local code requirements and it can’t be in need of extensive repairs.

Typical mortgage requirements by loan type

For context, the table below shows some typical mortgage requirements by loan type.

Costs and fees

21st Mortgage Corporation charges fees for origination, credit reports, title transfers, appraisals and other services when applicable, such as title, escrow and attorney fees. You can generally finance all closing costs except for appraisal costs and recording fees. However, it doesn’t share online how much these fees may cost you.

With a normal mortgage, you can expect to pay 2% to 5% of the loan amount in closing costs.

Closing costs generally include homeowners insurance premiums, home appraisal services, title fees, origination fees and property taxes. Unlike other mortgage lenders, 21st Mortgage doesn’t require PMI on loans it originates.

Even though the company doesn’t openly disclose its fee amounts, you still have a right to access that information prior to signing any loan agreement. Lenders must give you a written document, called a loan estimate, outlining the loan terms (including fees) after you apply.

    The company is good if you pay your payments on time, but you have some kind of family issue or your emergency that popped up or lose your business. You will be hounded for payments and talk very rudely too!! I don’t recommend anybody using this company. They are out to get your house if you listen to the introduction, keyword repo.

    They are definitely out to take people's houses at hard times. Yes they have worked with me, but also I have to take the rudeness of these young men calling me asking me how much I get paid… example at Christmas time I was laid on the Payment. I told them that I will make a payment as soon as I could. I’m gonna take care of Christmas first for my grandbabies. The gentleman told me Word for Word would you like a roof over your head or presence for your grandkids? I could not believe what I just heard. I didn’t say nothing. I just hung up the phone again be wise, go to a different company unless you want to be talked to like a dog.

    Absolutely terrible experience. Horrible communication. No follow up. Had to submit paperwork over and over and over again. Then try to get ahold of the representative taking care of loan was near impossible. Didn't return phone calls, didn't return emails. We were putting 50% down and both of us have 750+ credit scores. We were going to be charged almost 11%. We ended up paying cash. If we were to look into buying a manufactured home again we would definitely look somewhere else. Reading through the positive reviews it looks like they're written by employees. None of those reviews are even close to how we were treated.

      They will call and email you non stop. If your payment is due the 1st, they start calling and emailing on the 2nd. They will call several times a day then email too. They say you have ZERO grace period on your loan. If you ask them to stop the calls and emails, they refuse to do so. If you research this company, it is a common issue.

      21st Mortgage told me I had to get a mortgage under 100 k. I got what they asked and still didn't get approved. I had to get a new mobile home for Ship Program to give the 20k they are pushing their repos and Ship won't do as is mobile homes. They string you along.

      Getting the right loan for us to buy our first home (manufactured home) was not easy. My husband and I were going through some hard times, trying to stay afloat with each other, when 21st Mortgage stepped in. Not only did they approve us, but they helped walk us through as much of the process as possible. I lost count of how often I called them with questions and worries. They were patient, kind, and gave me the assurances I needed to keep going. I have only nice things to say about them and have already recommended them to a few co-workers who were thinking of buying their first homes too. If we ever need another home loan, I know who to go back to! Thank you for everything!

      My complaint is it really on the mortgage company even though their interests are way too high! Because you can't get a hold of them whenever you need to as far as anything to do with your mortgage there right on top of it as far as emails, phone calls, everything, so they have excellent employees however the homeowners insurance that they go through is a complete scam. The 21st Mortgage insurance for mobile homes which is called I believe American bankers or some something of that name are complete scams. We had a tornado come through and move our house over 3 in our mobile home and also destroy our roof and they refuse to repair any of it except for small hole in our roof when the whole roof need to be repaired. We had to come out of pocket over $7,000 just to repair our home that was only 4 months old, straight out of the factory and nobody wanted to do anything about it.

      So now we're having to figure out how to switch over to find a new homeowners insurance or mobile home owners insurance and probably will now refinance and get away from 21st Mortgage just because of their scammy insurance. So just be very, very cautious for use them as mortgage company and never use their insurance. Regardless of whatever you do never use their insurance. Find your own, find your own, find your own!

      21st Mortgage was overall decent in the application, loan execution, and in use, month to month service with their agents. I developed a disability the second year into paying on our mortgage; causing payments to come in late by 2-3 weeks for several months until my SSDI was approved and begun. They were cool working with me until I caught up' but for a number of months my payday was 2-3 weeks later into the month; making it difficult to be "on time" Regular and consistent by more than 10 days late. Eventually, SSA converted my paydays to the 3rd of every month 4 months ago. But a divorce came about and I needed to request removal of the spouse's name from the contract; and they told me the only way they could do that was for me to refinance. Since these rough periods in life over the past year had caused me to be late with other creditors; it dragged my credit scores down.

      So now, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 2 YEARS OF OVERALL GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH THEM; never more than 3 weeks late; they WON'T REFINANCE ME SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MY CREDIT BUREAU SCORES! They IGNORE YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY WITH THEM; AND JUST LOOK AT YOU AS JUST ANOTHER CREDIT SCORE! This position could cause me to have to sell my home while disabled just to satisfy a court decision in our separation case! Yet, Even though I now earn an extra $2000 a month since landing a part-time job and have 2 paychecks on the first few days of every month; they won't refi me! Hence the loss of 2 stars in their rating. They only see their customers as just another number on a credit score sheet; instead of actually considering the history and income capabilities of the customer.

      Drew with 21st Mortgage was so amazing and worked very hard to help me buy my first home. I was in a bad situation because I broke my leg, and I lost my home and I was living from house to house. He did everything in his power to help me get this house. I was turned down for the loan three times even though all the numbers added up, and he kept pushing and pushing to see why. The process was very easy. I had to upload all my check stubs and fax most of them, and I did it all by myself. I’m even trying to get my son to buy a house and go through them.
