Selling a manufactured home in Las Vegas isn't like selling a traditional house. The title process is different. Financing rules are stricter. And the pool of buyers who can actually close is much smaller than most sellers expect.
This guide covers everything you need to know — from how to look up your current title status to the step-by-step transfer process, to whether your home qualifies for FHA, VA, or conventional financing, and what it actually costs to convert a manufactured home to real property. We'll also be straight with you about when selling for cash makes more sense than trying to chase financed buyers.
⚖️ Personal Property vs. Real Property Title#
The single most important thing to understand about your manufactured home is what kind of title it currently has.
Personal property title (sometimes called a "chattel" title) means the home is treated separately from the land — more like a vehicle than a house. The Nevada Manufactured Housing Division issues a certificate of title, similar to a car title. The home and land are two separate legal assets.
Real property title means the home has been permanently affixed to land you own and recorded as a single real estate asset with the county. It shows up on a property deed, just like a site-built home.
The difference matters enormously:
- Personal property: Cash buyers only. Conventional, FHA, and VA lenders won't touch it.
- Real property: Eligible for traditional financing — which means access to a much larger buyer pool and typically higher offers.
How to look up your home's current title status: Visit the Nevada Manufactured Housing Division's online title search tool. You can search by structure serial number, owner name, or property address. For titles recorded before 1983, you'll need to contact the Division directly at titles@housing.nv.gov or (702) 486-4590.

📋 How to Transfer a Manufactured Home Title in Nevada (The TL-100B Process)#
When ownership of a manufactured home changes hands in Nevada, both parties use the TL-100(B) Transfer Affidavit — a state form issued by the Nevada Manufactured Housing Division.
Here's the complete step-by-step process:
Step 1: Download the TL-100(B) Form
Get the current version directly from the Nevada Manufactured Housing Division: TL-100 Transfer Affidavit. You can also find all titling forms at the Division's Title & Ownership Forms page.
Step 2: Seller Signs — Notarized
The seller completes their section of the form and signs it in front of a notary public. If there is an existing lienholder on the title (a loan against the home), that lienholder must also sign.
Step 3: Buyer Signs — Notarized
After the seller's notarized signature is complete, the buyer fills in their information and signs — also notarized.
Step 4: Visit the Clark County Assessor's Office
Both parties bring the completed, notarized form to the Clark County Assessor's Office. The Assessor will endorse the form, confirming property taxes are current. If any taxes are owed, they must be brought current before the endorsement is granted.
Step 5: Mail the Package
Mail the endorsed TL-100(B) form plus a $60 check made out to "Manufactured Housing Division" to: Nevada Manufactured Housing Division; 3300 West Sahara Avenue, Suite 425; Las Vegas, NV 89102. You can also email submissions to submissions@housing.nv.gov or drop off in person Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm.
Step 6: Receive Your New Title
Processing takes 4 to 6 weeks. When complete, you'll receive an email with a copy of the new title in your name.
At We Buy Any Vegas House, we handle this entire process after closing. You don't need to track down a notary, navigate county offices, or figure out what form goes where. We do it all.
🏦 Financing Rules: Can Your Manufactured Home Qualify for a Traditional Loan?#
This is where most sellers — and buyers — get tripped up. Manufactured homes can qualify for FHA, VA, and conventional financing, but only under a specific set of conditions. All four of the following must be true:
1. Built after June 15, 1976
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued its Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards on June 15, 1976. Homes built after this date are HUD-code compliant and must display a red certification label. Homes built before this date — regardless of condition or updates — do not qualify for traditional financing.
2. Must be a double-wide — not a single-wide
Single-wide manufactured homes (typically one rectangular section, under 1,000 sq ft) do not qualify for FHA, VA, or conventional loans. Double-wides and larger multi-section homes can qualify if the other conditions are met. VA loans require a minimum of 700 square feet for double-wide homes.
3. Moved only once — directly from manufacturer to permanent site
This is the rule that disqualifies the most homes. For traditional financing, the home must have gone directly from the factory to its current permanent location. If the home was ever relocated — even once, even decades ago — it no longer qualifies for FHA, VA, or conventional financing. This "direct placement" rule exists because moving a manufactured home can compromise structural integrity.
4. Titled as real property on a permanent foundation
The home must be permanently affixed to land the owner holds title to, with the home recorded as real property (not personal property). It cannot be on a rented lot. The foundation must meet HUD's Permanent Foundations Guide standards.
If your home doesn't meet all four criteria, traditional financing isn't available for your buyer. That shrinks your pool to cash buyers — which is exactly where We Buy Any Vegas House comes in.
Nevada down payment assistance: Buyers using FHA, VA, or conventional financing on qualifying manufactured homes may be eligible for the Home Is Possible program, which provides grants up to 4% of the loan amount. Minimum credit score of 680 required for manufactured homes.

Converting a Manufactured Home to Real Property#
If your manufactured home is currently titled as personal property but you own the land, conversion to real property is possible. This is done using the TL-110 Affidavit of Conversion to Real Property, also issued by the Nevada Manufactured Housing Division: Download TL-110.
What Conversion Requires
- Running gear completely removed: Wheels, axles, and tongue must be fully removed from under the home.
- Permanent concrete foundation: The home must be on footings that comply with current Building Code and HUD's Permanent Foundations Guide (HUD-7584, September 1996).
- Nevada licensed structural engineer certification: A design professional licensed in Nevada must certify the foundation. Two inspections are required: one before concrete is poured (with forms and rebar in place) and one after concrete has set.
- All personal property taxes current: Must be paid in full for the entire fiscal year before conversion can finalize.
- TL-110 recorded at the county: The affidavit is recorded at the county recorder's office, converting the home's legal status.
- $60 fee to the Nevada Manufactured Housing Division: Same as the title transfer process.
What Conversion Costs
The total cost to convert a manufactured home to real property in Nevada typically runs $7,000 to $15,000, depending on the home's size, the foundation work required, and engineering fees.
- Structural engineer site inspection and certification: $425–$600+
- Foundation work (demo of old support, concrete footings, anchorage, skirting): varies widely
- Running gear removal
- State and county fees ($60 to the Division plus county recording fees)
When Does Conversion Make Financial Sense?
Conversion makes sense only when the expanded buyer pool translates to a sale price that exceeds what you’d get from cash buyers — after accounting for conversion costs.
Pros
- Home qualifies on all other criteria (post-1976, double-wide, never relocated)
- The $7,000–$15,000 conversion cost is less than the premium a financed buyer will pay
- You have the time — conversion adds several weeks to the process
Cons
- You need to sell quickly
- The home’s value doesn’t support the conversion investment
We handle the conversion process ourselves after we purchase qualifying homes. If conversion makes sense for your specific situation, we factor that into our offer.

🚫 Parks We Cannot Buy In (Rented Land)#
In the following communities, residents own their home but rent the lot from the park. Because the land isn't included in the sale, these homes can't be converted to real property and traditional buyers face significant additional hurdles with park approval and financing. We're unable to purchase homes in these parks:
- Cabana — 5303 East Twain, Las Vegas
- Flamingo West — 8122 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas
- Boulder Cascade — 1601 South Sandhill Road, Las Vegas
- Mountain View — 148 Day St., Henderson
- Villa Borega — 1111 North Lamb Boulevard, Las Vegas
If you own a home in one of these parks and need to sell, call us and we'll tell you honestly what your options are — even if we can't be the buyer.
⚠️ Homes That Won't Qualify for Traditional Financing#
Even if your manufactured home is in great shape and move-in ready, traditional financing (FHA, VA, conventional) won't be available to your buyer if any of the following apply:
- Your home is a single-wide — single-section homes don’t qualify for FHA, VA, or conventional financing, regardless of age or condition
- Your home was built before June 15, 1976 — pre-HUD code homes don't meet lender standards, regardless of updates or condition
- The home has been moved — even one relocation after the original factory placement disqualifies it permanently
- You rent your lot — homes on leased land can't be converted to real property, which lenders require
In any of these situations, your buyer pool is limited to cash buyers. Attempting to market to financed buyers will cost you time without results.

✅ When Selling Your Manufactured Home for Cash Makes the Most Sense#
Beyond the financing disqualifiers above, a cash sale is often the smartest path even when your home could technically qualify. Consider it if:
- You need to close fast — conversion and traditional sales take months; we close in as little as 7 days
- Repairs are needed — we buy as-is, no repairs or cleaning required
- You inherited the home — we work with inherited manufactured homes, including situations where probate is still in process

💬 Frequently Asked Questions#
My home was built in 1970. Can a buyer finance it?
No. Homes built before June 15, 1976 do not meet HUD's Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards and cannot be financed with FHA, VA, or conventional loans. Your buyer pool is limited to cash buyers regardless of the home's current condition or any updates made since.
My home is a double-wide built in 1982. Can it be financed?
Potentially — but only if it went directly from the manufacturer to its current location (never moved), it's titled as real property on a permanent foundation, and you own the land. If all of those conditions are met, a buyer could qualify for traditional financing. If any one isn't, it's a cash-only sale.
What if I don't know where my title is?
Contact the Nevada Manufactured Housing Division directly: titles@housing.nv.gov or (702) 486-4590, Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm. You can also use the online title search tool to find your home's current title status by serial number, owner name, or address.
Do you buy single-wides?
Yes — for cash, as-is. Single-wides can't be financed by traditional lenders, which limits your options significantly. We buy single-wide manufactured homes throughout the Las Vegas valley regardless of age or condition, as long as you own both the home and the land.
What if my home is in a mobile home park and I only own the home, not the lot?
Unfortunately, we require that you own both the land and the home. If you rent your lot inside a mobile home park, the title transfer process works differently, and traditional buyers face additional hurdles around park rules and approval. Call us and we'll discuss what options may be available for your situation.
How long does the title transfer take?
The TL-100(B) process takes 4 to 6 weeks from the time the completed, endorsed form and $60 fee are received by the Nevada Manufactured Housing Division. The County Assessor's digital endorsement typically takes 3 business days once you visit in person.
