FAQs
Your Top Questions Answered Clearly and Concisely
What makes Ocoee Mountain Cottage Approval unique in the market?
We specialize in financing and advising specifically on mountain cottage properties, providing tailored, expert solutions.
Can you assist first-time buyers looking to invest in mountain cottages?
Absolutely! We offer guidance throughout the entire buying process, including financial education specifically aimed at first-time buyers, to help you make confident and informed decisions.
Loan terms are available for 240 months (20 years) or 300 months (25 years), with competitive rates.

Most loans close in 30 days or less, depending on when the park model is delivered.
Why do we have to pull credit up front?
Pulling your credit upfront allows us to match you with the best possible loan program. Your Equifax credit score helps determine your eligibility, maximum loan amount, and available interest rate. By reviewing this information early, we can give you an accurate approval and help you move forward with confidence.
How long is my approval good for?
Your pre-approval is valid for 90 days. If you haven’t selected a home within that time, we can easily update your file with current documents to extend your approval.
Is it possible to get a pre-approval for a mountain cottage loan, and how does it work?
Yes, we offer a pre-approval process where potential buyers can get an estimate of the loan amount they might be eligible for, based on their financial details and credit history. This service helps buyers shop for properties with a clear budget in mind.
1. What purchase price should I provide on the application?
Please include the approximate purchase price of the home/unit you are looking to buy.
2. How much do I need for a down payment?
Owner-occupied home: Minimum 5% down payment
Vacation home/second home: Minimum 15% down payment
You may choose to put more down if you’d like, but these are the required minimums.
3. How is the down payment different from the security deposit?
The down payment is what you contribute toward your mortgage at closing.
The security deposit is what the dealer may require upfront to purchase and bring the unit into the community.
Example:
A dealer might require a 30% security deposit. However, at closing you are only required to meet the minimum down payment requirement (5% or 15%). This means you may receive part of that deposit (the excess) back — in this example, 15% could be refunded at closing if you choose.
Even though this is a tiny home, it is legally titled as an RV, so the financing works differently from a traditional mortgage.
Credit score requirements: We can finance buyers with scores as low as 550.
Down payment: At a 550 score, the minimum down payment required is 15%. Higher scores may allow for lower down payments, but putting more down can always help.
Rates: Rates are updated weekly and typically range from 8% and up, depending on your credit score.
Example: A buyer with a 740+ score may see a rate around 8.48%.
Example: A buyer with a 574 score may see a rate closer to 12.125%.
In short, higher scores = lower rates. Lower credit scores may still qualify, but you can expect rates from 11-% 12% +.

Yes! Gift funds are allowed, and the entire down payment can come from a gift if needed.
We will need a signed gift letter confirming the funds are a gift (not a loan).
We must also document the source of the gift (who provided it).
The gift does not have to come from a family member — it can be from a friend or another eligible donor.
This option makes it easier for buyers to move forward even if they don’t have all the funds saved themselves.
