Knowledge & insights

A condo is 'warrantable' when its HOA and project meet Fannie/Freddie standards (owner-occupancy ratio, single-entity ownership cap, reserves, no litigation, etc.).

Most rejections are project-level, not borrower-level — so a non-warrantable program lets a strong borrower close on a project that wouldn't fly through agency guidelines.

Condotels (condo + hotel rental program) are a non-warrantable subset — almost always require a specialty lender.

Did you know?

  • Roughly 1 in 4 U.S. condo projects fails at least one Fannie/Freddie warrantability test in any given year.
