Engineer certification for FHA mobile home loans

FHA loans on existing manufactured homes require a foundation certification from a Florida-licensed engineer showing the home meets HUD’s Permanent Foundations Guide. VA and many conventional lenders commonly ask for a similar engineer’s letter.

FHA’s requirements for manufactured homes are set out in HUD Handbook 4000.1. The engineer inspects the foundation and anchoring and writes the certification; our job is to make sure the tie-downs, piers and level are right before the engineer arrives.

Why tie-downs can make or break a closing

Loose, missing, or improperly attached straps are findings the engineer has to address, so a sale can stall until the tie-downs are brought up to code.

Buyers’ inspectors and insurers routinely look under the home. Deficient anchoring can mean a price cut, a repair request, or a lost buyer.

Mobile home inspection for sale

We fix it before it’s a problem. Free inspection before you list or close, repairs done fast, and we coordinate with the engineer so your certification is ready on time.

For sellers

Schedule a free inspection before you list. If the home needs tie-down replacement or releveling, you can handle it on your timeline and price the home with confidence.

For buyers

If you’re financing, ask your lender early whether they need an engineer’s foundation certification. We can inspect the home during your due-diligence period so you know what repairs are needed before you’re locked in.

For real estate agents and lenders

Send your clients our way. We work anywhere in Florida, and our fastest turnaround is built for closing deadlines.

Requirements vary. Lender, insurer, and program requirements vary and can change. Ask your lender what they require, and we’ll help you meet it.
