FHA Foundation Certifications for Manufactured Homes

Meets Requirements for:

FHA loans | VA Loans | USDA Loans | Conventional Loans

When buying, selling, or refinancing a manufactured home, lenders like the FHA, USDA, VA require a permanent foundation inspection to ensure the home meets HUD standards. Even conventional home lenders like credit unions require this same foundation certification to approve placement of your manufactured (mobile) home. Without this inspection, your loan application could be delayed or even denied.

Many homeowners and real estate professionals don’t realize these requirements exist until they’re already deep into the process—leading to last-minute stress, unexpected costs, and moving plans that fall apart.

Don’t Let a Failed Inspection Derail Your Financing

Lenders won’t approve FHA, VA, or conventional loans on a manufactured home unless its foundation complies with the HUD Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Homes (PFGMH). If the foundation isn’t up to standard, you could face:

Loan denial or delays—Jeopardizing your ability to buy, sell, or refinance.
Expensive foundation repairs—Unexpected costs if issues are discovered too late.
Decreased property value—A non-compliant foundation can make your home harder to sell.

What is normally checked during the inspection?

Engineer Certification for Manufactured Homes:

Our standard FHA Foundation Certification includes everything you need to get your loan approved and move into your home.

What’s included — Load-bearing capacity, anchoring system, ventilation, drainage, and accessibility.

Keep in mind that some counties have regulations that might require more than the HUD standards. For instance, roughly 10% of our manufactured home inspections involve an over-height inspection to make sure home is safe, even when place higher above the ground than usually recommended.

Unfortunately, many local building inspectors are still getting updated and trained on effective inspections and permits. We’ve helped home owners get foundation certifications across the entire state of North Carolina, so we’re ready to adjust to your local county regulations — no matter where you live in NC.
