Home Mortgage being reported as "Installment" – Equifax score being affected

My husband and I own two homes that happen to both be Manufactured Homes.  One of the loans was significant and was for 30 years and reported on my husbands credit report as "Real Estate" loan.  The company failed to report for me and I called them.  They say it takes 90 days and I'm currently waiting on pins & needles to see if they report it as an Installment or a "Real Estate" loan as they did for my husband.   Our second home is being classsifed as "Installment" and we do not understand why they would call it an installment loan when we purchased this just like a home, pay property taxes and had to go through a 30 day escrow, pay realtor commissions, etc.

Condo problem

Hi, I have bought a small condo. During the installment payments, the first owner was bankrupted and they sold the whole building to his cousins, however, his cousins did not comply all the agreements that the first owner given to the room buyers, so there was a wording agreement that the building security and maintenance office will look for the tenants for the room owners who do not want to move in to stay and will prepare the renting contact form for the tenants to sign as same they do for their own room renting services and will deduct the security and maintenance service 300 Bahts each month (normal rate there) which are o.k. to both sides.

Installment Loans and Average Age of Accounts

Hey guys,   I have an installment loan from a local bank which is about a month away from being totally repaid.  This loan spanned over 3 years, so it is by far the greatest contributor to my average age of accounts on my credit report.  When it gets completely paid, does this installment loan history disappear from my credit report like a closed account would??  This is my greatest concern.   Anyone have any insight
