medium · Asset-Backed Securities

Why can loss severity on manufactured-housing chattel loans be higher than on traditional auto loans?

  1. A government guarantee requires every recovered manufactured home to be destroyed before any resale proceeds can be collected.
  2. Federal law fixes every manufactured-housing chattel loan at a 5% rate, which mechanically eliminates collateral recoveries.
  3. Transport, storage, site work, and disposition costs can consume much more of a manufactured home's resale proceeds.
  4. Federal law prohibits resale of repossessed manufactured homes, so every default produces a total collateral loss.
