FHA Connection
Correctly enter the following manufactured housing data into FHA Connection:
Case Assignment screen: “77” should be entered as the two-digit Program ID Code when the loan is not processed as a construction-permanent loan.
Appraisal Logging screen: “Y” for Yes to Manufactured Housing indicator (source document –appraisal).
Hazard Insurance
The minimum amount of coverage is determined by the Insurer.
HUD Label “Red Tags”
All MHs must have a HUD label (commonly known as the “Red Tag”), a metal tag affixed on outside of each transportable unit.
A multi-wide unit has multiple HUD tags – one for each transported section/unit.

o HUD Label Verification letter includes: label number, serial number, date of manufacture, manufacturer name and plant location, location of the first destination (usually the retailer)
HUD Data Plate/Compliance Certificate HUD Data Plate

adjacent to the electric service panel in the utility room, or
in a kitchen cabinet, or
in a bedroom closet.
Data plate contains the HUD Certification Label number to assist in ordering the HUD Label verification letter from IBTS.
It also contains useful information: manufacturer name, serial number, model and date of manufacture as well as wind, roof load and thermal zones.

Appraiser must select and analyze appropriate comparable sales which may include conventionally built housing, modular housing or manufactured housing.
Reference: HUD 4000.1 II.B.3.c(D)

New Construction
New construction refers as the initial sale from a manufacturer or a manufactured home dealer to the Borrower(s).
The Cost approach must be completed with cost estimates using published data such as National Automobile Dealers Association Manufactured Housing Appraisal Guide or Marshall & Swift Residential Cost Handbook.
The cost approach is not required if the Manufactured Home is “New (< 1 year old)” construction code and the title has been re-conveyed after the initial sale from the Manufactured Home dealer.
The 1004C appraisal must include the documentation to support the retail purchase price including the Manufactured Home unit bill of sale and all delivery, installation and set-up costs. These documents must be appended into.
If using lot equity, the appraiser must describe the method used to estimate the site value and provide a detailed summary and analysis of the land sales data to support his/her opinion.
Appraiser must provide the name of the retailer or distributor who sold the Manufactured Home unit. The FHA Roster Inspector must provide the installer information (installer name, installation date, model/year) in the 92051 if the original appraiser did not provide in the Manufactured Home appraisal.
For Existing < 1 Year (100% complete and never occupied), HUD will only accept inspections by a local building authority (on form HUD-92051/CIR) for a newly installed manufactured home only if there are no FHA Roster Inspectors available to perform the inspections. DE underwriter must document efforts to obtain an FHA Roster Inspector.
Below are clarification for the new construction exhibits table that follows:
For a 10-year warranty plan, HUD requires evidence of acceptance or enrollment in the HUD approved plan; the application alone is not acceptable.
Termite inspection report is required unless the property is located in an area of no to slight infestation as indicated in HUD’s
“Termite Treatment Exception Areas“. Please see Termite Inspection section for additional details.
