The Bottom Line Chattel mortgages are a little-known but potentially good option if you're looking to finance a manufactured home or heavy equipment. These loans are smaller than conventional loans and tend to have higher rates, but they have shorter terms and quicker payoffs.
Lenders use your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio to see how much of your income goes to paying debts. They prefer a DTI of 43% or less. DTI is your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. Lower DTI means you can borrow more.
What are the best chattel mortgage interest rates? The best chattel mortgage rates generally start from around 7.50% p.a. but can range up to 15% p.a. or higher for some borrowers. To get the best rate — i.e. the lowest rate — a borrower will want to present as little risk to the lender as possible.
Chattel is any tangible personal property that is movable. Examples of chattel are furniture, livestock, bedding, picture frames, and jewelry.
