So if a borrower wants to purchase a  mobile home  that is in a trailer park and the home is on land that does not belong to the borrower it is termed as personal movable property. The lender gives the borrower a loan, with a lien on the mobile home, the lien will be released after the loan, and interest is paid off. The lender ow n s the home until it is paid off so if the borrower defaults on payments, the lender can sell the home to pay for the remainder of the loan.
