  • Minimum of 500 square feet
  • Condo Questionnaire:
  • We must have our Condo Questionnaire Completed (attached) prior to Approval
  • Reason being, the Complex has to be reviewed for adequate reserves for maintenance cost and reviewed for any ongoing Litigation
  • If there’s Litigation taken place, it wouldn’t necessarily prevent you from qualifying but would have to be reviewed by the Underwriter for Approval on a case by case basis
  • The main Litigation issue would be if the Litigation is pertaining to any Structural Deficiencies of the Complex
  • Assets requirements: must have at least 12 months of Full Mortgage Payment (i.e. Principle/Interest/Property Taxes/Insurance/HOA dues) in reserves if the financing is less than 1.0 Million
  • However, if the financing is greater than 1.0 Million, we must have 24 months of reserves
  • This would be for the Subject Property and for any other Real Estate Owned Properties you may have

For further clarification, please find our Condo-Tel Definition below:

A Condominium Complex which offers Daily Rentals to the Individual Condo Units. For Example, if the Complex has a Rental Desk and or requires the Individual Unit Owner to participate in a Rental Pool.  However, if an Individual Unit Owner has complete control on whether or not they would like to rent out their Unit, it may be classified as Warrantable or Non-Warrantable Condo. If so, the loan parameters could become more lenient.
