VA Form 26-8641a: Computation of Loan Amount for Manufactured Home Unit
VA Form 26-8641a is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Computation of Loan Amount for Manufactured Home Unit. VA's form page lists it under housing assistance. The heading says it is for compliance with 38 CFR 36.4204(c) as applicable, and the respondent burden notice says VA needs the information to ensure the loan is made within the limits prescribed by law, Title 38, U.S.C. 3712(e)(4)(a) and (b).
The form is a one page worksheet. It names the Veteran, the dealer and the lender, and is signed by an official or the lender. It says the report is required by law and that failure to furnish the data requested will result in denial of guaranty for the subject loan.
Section I covers the cost of a new unit, Section II the cost of a used unit, Section III the fees and charges permissible under 38 CFR 36.4232, and Section IV the maximum loan amount. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
