If you received a program based on the fact that you are disabled, then it would be no different than getting a discount, based on your ethnicity as the goverment see disability as a characteristics. There however many programs which you may ...(Answered by Lovelifeandliveit)

Many states have special low interest rate programs that are tied to FHA/VA/Conventional loans. You simply have to qualify for the FHA/VA/Conventional terms then couple the other program terms with it. Those programs are offered to assist people buy homes that otherwise may not qualify.

The Government funding may be just the ticket to getting things done for you. This is a perfect situation in which you want to contact your State Senators office - explain your situation and don't be shy in asking for their help in getting you the information that you need. You won't believe how fast somebody from the Builder will get back to you - once the Senators office has made the necessary inquiries. Try it - you'll be glad you did!...(Answered by sandiegoman4life)

Leave things the way they are, with one or both of you inheriting the house - that way if you ever sell it, your basis will be it's value as of when your mother dies - if she gives it to you now, your basis would be what she paid for it, plus any improvements. It might be simpler if she wills it just to you rather than joint ownership, but that depends on what your brother's handicap is - might not matter, if he's capable mentally of managing his own affairs. She won't owe any estate taxes ...(Answered by Judy)

I am afraid I can't tell you where to find such a home, however my assumption would be that you would likely be best off to contact and or research the manufacturing companies of manufactured homes and or trailers, and see if they can make adjustments to their designs to accomodate your specific needs. In over 20 years selling real estate, I have not seen to many homes, never mind manufactured homes that have been dramatically adjusted, and ever come for sale as a resale, theyh tend to stay with the people, and the people likely do not move as often ...(Answered by peterpfann)
