What is the legality of a broker advertising no down payment for selling a mobile home by directing a buyer to secure a loan for the down payment?

  1. It is legal with proper disclosure

  2. It is legal if the loan interest rates are reasonable

  3. It is illegal

  4. It is legal but unethical

The correct answer is: It is illegal

Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they imply that the action described is legal under certain circumstances. However, directing a buyer to secure a loan for the down payment on a mobile home is considered to be illegal, regardless of proper disclosure or reasonable interest rates. This is because it may be seen as a form of loan steering or coercion, which is prohibited by law. It is important for brokers to fully understand and comply with all applicable regulations when advertising and selling mobile homes, including any laws related to down payments.
