In this article, we will discuss and cover the Condotel Application Processing And Underwriting.

Condo Hotel Mortgage Application Is 2 Step Process

Our Condotel Application process is fairly simple.

• There is a two-step Condo Hotel  Application process with us
• First, we make sure that the Condo Hotel is healthy
• By healthy, our investors want to know that there are no structural issues with the Condo Hotel and that there is no pending litigation
• Our investors also want to make sure that the Condo Hotel is financially strong and not on the verge of bankruptcy
• This is accomplished by the Condo Hotel Homeowner Association manager completing a one page Condo Hotel Mortgage Application Questionnaire
• Once the Condotel buyer gets me the one-page questionnaire, the loan officer submits it to underwriting
• The underwriter will do some preliminary research on the Condo Hotel, its management, demographics, history, and check if there are any major pending litigation against the Condo Hotel
• Normally we do not have any problems

The underwriter normally gets back with an approval within 24 hours of getting the Condo Hotel questionnaire.

• This is a secured application platform and fills out the application
• Please be as detailed and accurate as possible
• Once you submitted your Condo Application, the loan officer will get an alert and contact you so we make sure everything is filled out correctly
• I then submit it to our underwriting department and within 48 hours of submitting the Condo Hotel Mortgage Application, we get approval
• Normally I know whether the loan will be approved before I submit it
• The credit committee signs off on it and we start underwriting the loan
• We can normally close a Condotel mortgage loan in 21 days from the time I get the signed application from the borrower
• Very simple process
