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.”

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.
