Welcome
| Condominium FinancingCondominium financing can be difficult at times. Most condominium financing programs will require the condominium will be less than four floors and will have more than 50% of the units occupied by their owners and that the financing be less than the conforming limit, currently $417,000. If this describes your situation, you will find many condominium financing options under the Loan Programs section. If you are considering FHA home loans for your condominium financing, your condominium will need to be on the approved condominium list. I have included the link to the FHA site. I have also included some additional information on FHA condominium acceptance. However, if the condominium does not these standard criteria, we
have several condominium financing programs which will help. Condominium
financing programs are available for high rise
condominiums and for condominiums whose owner occupancy ratios are below 50%. These
are commonly
called "non-warrantable" condominiums and will be just a bit more
difficult to find financing for. Rates for this type of condominium financing are generally 1/4 percent above
the current market but we can almost always get your financing done.
You will still be able to choose from fixed rate or
ARMs and
interest only mortgage options are readily
available. I have included a page on
condominium financing documentation
requirements. I also have a Free report "Buying
your First Home" available by email. There is also a well written
article on condominiums as an investment
available by
email. Read more about Condominium

section on the new Cash Flow Arm. A LIBOR
