Condo Loans
Looking for a condo lifestyle? We can help you there. Whether you're looking at a primary residence, vacation home or investment property, Supreme's condo loans provide the answer.
Keep in mind, condo loans are subject to different rules and qualifications than single-family homes. Underwriters consider a variety of factors, including but not limited to the property’s age, structural integrity, grounds and amenities, as well as the overall finances of the building.
Warrantable Condos can be financed and underwritten as a conventional mortgage, as long as they meet these requirements:
- No entity can own more than two units in projects consisting of 5-20 units, or 20% of units in projects with 21 or more units
- At least 50% of the units are owner-occupied
- Less than 15% of total units are 60 days or more in arrears on homeowners’ association (HOA) dues
- The HOA is not named in any lawsuits
- Commercial space accounts for 35% or less of the total building square footage
Non-Warrantable Condos don't meet the above criteria and are more difficult to buy and sell because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac consider them high-risk. Non-traditional financing is often needed for these types of condos. Contact us for details.
