In Mid-October, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that the FHA is proposing a new rule to increase and index the loan limits for its Title I Manufactured Home Loan Program which insures loans used to finance manufactured homes titled as personal property. According to their release, loan limits for the program were last updated by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
