Captive Financing and Selling more Manufactured Homes

Captive Finance is back in the spotlight.  We did a previous in-depth report that covered a variety of perspectives on ‘buy here, pay here’ lending, linked here.  This month, the article by manufactured home lending veteran, Josh Ducharme, is getting the attention. Maybe that’s because reportedly hundreds are still using what Josh and others think is risky business?  cash401k2012flickrcreativecommonscredit-daily-business-news-mhpronews-com--573x430

Discover Josh’s well laid out thinking, linked here.

One point we want to underscore is the notion of the risk of fines. The CFPB seems to love them, just click the image shown or this link here.

When Josh offers a common sense option, why not take the safe path?

Failing to do so could cost a community operator huge fines – or even their property. MHProNews’

concern has been and will continue to be that those making captive finance loans are taking a serious and AVOIDABLE risk.

We therefore applaud Josh’s public posture.
