Paid-Off Mobile Home

  My husband and I own a mobile home we paid off this summer. Can we use that as collateral for a downpayment for a new house?
 
  If your mobile home is permanently attached to your own land, you might be able to get a new mortgage on it.  Of course that debt could count against you when you looked for another mortgage on a new house. 
I just don't know enough about your situation, and I'd advise you to talk with a mortgage broker, who can ask you some questions and then tell you where you stand.  Good luck.
