in Condo Market News, Financing and Mortgage News, Tampa Real Estate Market News & Updates

This is a guest blog post from Tony Marks concerning Non-Warrantable Condos here in the Tampa Bay area.  Buyers in our local Real Estate Market are seeing a large number of condos that cannot obtain financing and here’s why.

“I took time to check with my lenders, and none of them at the moment offer mortgages for Non-Warrantable Condos in FLORIDA. (They do in other states). “
 
Non Warrantable Condos are not eligible to be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac because they DO NOT fit into one of the following:
 
1. Developers control of the homeowners association has been turned over to the condo owners
2. Project is not subject to additional phasing or add-ons which have not yet been completed
3. All common elements and amenities must be fully installed, completed and in operation
4. 70% of all units in the entire development must have been sold and or legally obligated to close
5. 70% of all units in the entire development must have been sold to owner occupants

Lenders determine eligibility by requiring the management company to complete a questionnaire.
