You will need to determine whether the mobile home is the principal dwelling of a consumer who is providing you with a security interest in the mobile home. Under 226.23, "In a credit transaction in which a security interest is or will be retained or acquired in a consumer's principal dwelling, each consumer whose ownership interest is or will be subject to the security interest shall have the right to rescind the transaction, except for transactions described in paragraph (f) of this section."
