What lenders, underwriters, and buyers ask about FHA files on Iowa properties.
Yes. FHA and USDA underwriting both require a state-licensed engineer for manufactured home structural certifications. Our P.E. holds an active Iowa license.
Iowa requires a PE-sealed foundation certification, an Affidavit of Affixation recorded at the county recorder, and title cancellation through the Iowa DOT. We handle the PE documentation; your closing team handles the DOT filing.
