Re: Construction Loan
Yes, Vin numbers can be swapped, components swapped. Bottom line though, the banks don't balk at lending because of portability. A loan is given using social security numbers and any number of other personal info. Regardless of whether something is portable or not, they know where you 'live'. They know how to collect.
We put in a few years of part time work toward breaking the 'no construction loan' rule and heard the portability argument just a couple of times. Each time that argument was easily pushed through by pointing out the obvious - modular homes, vehicle loans, personal loans, etc. The wall that came up and stayed up was the Comparative Market Analysis. The ingredients needed to test the next phase are 2 or 3 yurt homes sold within 2 or 3 years of each other within 10 square miles. The yurt homes have to be built, then sold as a whole unit. It will set value for any future potential loans. Unfortunately, even if it is successful, it would only pertain to that general area because property prices vary wildly place to place. But at least it would set some precedence.
