Rural housing loans can now be used for manufactured homes with attached garages

The US Department of Agriculture's rural housing loan programs now allow borrowers to use the money for manufactured homes that have attached garages. This means more people in rural areas can use these government-backed loans to buy a wider variety of factory-built homes.

Before this change, if you wanted a government-backed loan for a manufactured home, it couldn't have an attached garage. This small detail limited options for buyers and builders. Now, a common feature in many homes is no longer a barrier for these loans, which could make manufactured homes more appealing and accessible in rural areas.
