Best Answer

In regards the the Reverse Mortgage, or Senior Reverse Mortgage, all you need to qualify is for the house to be appraised by a HUD / FHA approved appraiser. You are then eligible to receive a reverse mortgage, so long as you have enough equity in the home, and you are age 62 pr older.

In many states, the Reverse Mortgage or HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) allows for a new home purchase with the use of reverse mortgage funds, this rule does not apply nationwide. Although HUD and the FHA recently passed the HECM Reverse Mortgage home purchase program, allowing you to purchase a new home with reverse mortgage proceeds, borrowers in Texas are not yet eligible. Rules in individual states may vary. Please see a specialist in your own state for more details.

You already have a fha loan on a mobil home but you want a house loan what do you do to get another loan?

Well this will depend on what kind of FHA program you are insured under for your mobile home. If it is a "Home Loan" under 203(b) program then only under certain circumstances will you be allowed another FHA. BUT if you received a "Dealer" kinda of loan under the FHA program for the mobile home it can be classified as "personal property".......possibly.... If there is land or real estate property involved in the loan then probably not. Only a FHA Lender (underwriter) will be able to determine based on a verification of mortgage or loan from your current mobile home lender.
