We have a borrower who wants to purchase some land. There is a mobile home on the land. We are not going to take the mobile home as collaterl. Does RESPA apply?

I know ROR will apply because of a "fixture provision" in our mortgages but just not sure about RESPA.

Are you taking a lien on the borrower's primary residence? RESPA does not apply to land only loans.

No, we are not going to take a lien on the primary residence. We are just taking the land. I just wasn't sure since there was a mobile home on the land.

You can forget the fixture provision I referred to earlier. I was confused with another transaction smile

Is the mobilehome titled, or has the title been retired? If the latter, you have lien on it unless you expressly exclude it.

Yes the mobile home does have a title. Also no foundation.

Foundation is irrelevant, but the title is key..you have a simple land loan.


ETA: It likely does have a foundation...one made out of piers and anchored.

Thanks so much for all your help! We haven't dealt with a MH for awhile now so I was a little rusty on the requirments.
