The manufactured home must be built in compliance with
- the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards that were established June 15, 1976, as amended and in force at the time the home is manufactured; and
- additional requirements that appear in HUD regulations at 24 C.F.R. Part 3280.
Compliance with these standards will be evidenced by the presence of either a HUD Data Plate or the HUD Certification Label(s) for each section of the home for existing construction. If the original or alternative documentation cannot be obtained for either of these, the loan is not eligible for sale to Fannie Mae. (Both are required for new construction).
