Manufactured-home delivery depends on lender overlays

This page stays public because the official structure is still useful, but these details should not be flattened into fake certainty.

MHC publishes a clean statewide rule set for Smart7, but manufactured-home eligibility can still depend on participating-lender or servicer overlays.

Amount

$7,000 zero-interest second mortgage for down payment, closing costs, and pre-paids when paired with the statewide Smart7 30-year fixed first mortgage.

Type

State-backed first mortgage plus deferred second mortgage assistance

Repayment

Smart7 uses standard 30-year fixed first-mortgage repayment. The paired $7,000 assistance is a 0% deferred second mortgage, not a forgivable grant, and official materials say it is repayable upon sale, refinance, non-owner occupancy, and at maturity or first-mortgage payoff.
